Interesting magnesium supplement concept
I have been using a magnesium supplement for some time after discovering I had low magnesium ( many people do and don't realize it). So when I saw this new brand I wanted to try them out. Note while I did receive the product for free, I do have to pay income taxes on the full value of it.<br /><br />I was initially prescribed Magnesium Oxide for my low Mag, but after I did my own research, I discovered that other forms of Mag were much more absorbable. So I have been using 200mg of Mag Taurate in the morning and 200 mg of Mag Glycinate in the evening. Doing so has made a world of difference in a number of areas including eliminating any restfulness in my sleep. Since this product mixes 5 types of Mag, I was intrigued. I have taken two a day (in place of my morning Mag Taurate) for the last several days and didn't really notice much difference. Which could be a good thing or a bad thing. Good in that it is as effective as what I have been using, bad in that I didn't notice any improvement for the added cost of this product.<br /><br />One concern I have is the label does not tell you how much of each type of Mag is in each dose. I believe that is very important to know. Is it equal amounts or some variation? There is no way to know. In addition is the 200mg per dose the actual elemental magnesium, or is that the dose of the 5 types (which yield a lower level of elemental magnesium)? Also very important to know.. Additionally, I do wish they (actually all vitamin manufacturers should) would post lab results periodically on their product. The Vitamin industry is not well regulated and seeing independent lab reports helps a consumer know they are getting what they paid for.<br /><br />For these reasons as well as these being more pricey than what I normally buy, I am going to rate this 3 stars. If the additional information I mentioned was included in the product listing, I would have added an additional star.
