KAL Magnesium Glycinate 400 | Vegan, Chelated, Non-GMO, No Soy, No Dairy, and No Gluten, 90 Count (Pack of 1)

My endocrinologist recommended KAL Magnesium Glycinate 400. I've had some health issues this past year, which caused me anxiety which became chronic. The stress would cause my otherwise low blood pressure to jet up at times(which then caused more anxiety). She told me the magnesium in this form helped HER, and perhaps it would help ME too. I was so desperate for relief I was willing to try anything! She also said it was good for general heart-health(as I was then having some palpitations). Since taking these, I DO feel like they are helping. My sleep isn't great, but Im having less periods of insomnia. And, my anxiety is getting under better control with the aid of prayer, meditation, daily exercise/walks, yoga, diet AND a better vitamin/mineral regimen, including THIS FORM of magnesium. As far as swallowing them, forget it! I have a small throat and even breaking in half wasn't working. So, did a little research and I see many folks chew theirs up. I've been doing that, and it works just fine with no negative effects, and no bad taste. Bland. Just ordered 2 more bottles. If it aint broke, don't fix it;-)

This is the supplement I recommend to everyone constantly. This helps my chronic pain, both the muscle aches and the nerve pain, and makes a huge difference in my energy levels and ability to sleep. Being magnesium, it also helps keep things regular, as well as helping muscles relax at the end of the day. The first few days, it did seem to have me running to the restroom a few times, but the benefits are cumulative and the initial shock to the bowels wasn't bad enough nor persistent enough to make me take a day off. I love this so much that I don't run out. I always have an unopened bottle on hand because I don't want to go back to feeling like I did without it because I never got around to buying more.

I work night shift as a nurse and take 1 of these pills before bed on my off nights, and they have been so helpful! I fall asleep much quicker and don’t wake up near as much. I used to lay in bed til 3am and wake up several times especially my first night back to a regular schedule. But I take this an hour or two before bed and I can tell I feel more relaxed. I’ve never taken melatonin, but this seems to have a similar effect. The pills are large, but easy to swallow.

Not all magnesium is the same. Read the ingredients and labels. I wanted true Magnesium Glycinate because I read this is the best one to take without the horrible bathroom emergency side effects. I saw lots of other products out there marketed as glycinate and they had oxide or citrate which are two of the worse!! Anyway back to this product. I only take one a day at night even though it says to take two. I like to start slow but at 400 mg this seems to be working nicely. I can sleep better and my body feels different. More relaxed if you will. As I’m lying in bed I can tell the difference. It’s pretty amazing! This is the best brand on the market if you want Magnesium GLYCINATE.

Pills are rather large but were not difficult to swallow. They definitely helped me to fall asleep, but no matter what dosage I took or what time I took them, I felt hungover and in a fog the entire next day. They also helped with controlling my blood sugar and preventing crashes due to hypoglycemia. Not sure if I will continue to keep taking due to being tired and sleepy all the time.

If you have a thing about swallowing very large pills you might want to try a smaller brand but they are high quality and I feel better when I take them. I guess my sleep quality is better now that I think about it.

Completely blown away by the results of taking this after 3 weeks. I suffer from social anxiety. Always have. I have take SSRIs in the past but i have weened myself of them years ago. The physical symptoms of my anxiety (blushing and facial sweating) was a daily deliberating occurrence. I can confidently say this has subsided 90%! I can actually hold conversations now calmly w/o those terrible symptoms which plagued me all my life. The best part is this is not a hardcore SSRI! I have zero negative side effects. I found out about this from a simple read on Reddit. Please fellow SAD people.... try Magnesium Glycinate!

puts me to sleep easier ( I take 2 pills 20 mins before bedtime with my GABA supplement) and the first 2-3 weeks I've had a noticeable difference in how relaxed my overall muscles were, but like all good things, this effect wears off eventually as your body gets used to the product. I'd recommend taking 1 pill at first - see how your body responds, then take 2 - I had a tougher time getting up in the morning at first because my body/muscles were so relaxed. Haven't noticed any difference with stool softening/less constipation.
