Calm and gentle

I got these capsules in a BBBE. I was happy about that as it's no secret that I'm a fan of supplements and alternative treatments. I'm always interested in magnesium as I know it is depleted in our soils, and the fact that adding it to soil makes such an obvious difference to my plants, gives me confidence that it is also good to add it to myself.

The bottle has 60 capsules with a recommendation to take 1 capsule daily with food. I take two in the evening instead, as I find this helps me relax and sleep better. I suffer with anxiety, especially badly on work days, and it really helps me to sleep if I take magnesium. And these work very well with that. If they're helping my heart and bones, then that's a great bonus, but something I can't really measure. I know from previous experience that taking magnesium reduced my menstrual cramps, but I don't still have them so can't speak for this brand specifically.

These are quite big but swallowable and as per the product claim, I don't have any stomach issues after taking them.

These capsules do what I want them to without issue and on that basis I recommend them. At $22.90 for 60, it's a fair price for a good supplement.

Tips: To help with sleep, take them in the evening.

Didn't really notice anything

Apparently magnesium is good for stress, muscle aches, and digestive disturbances, all three of which I suffer from! I got this in a vault many moons ago, and only just finished them (yep I'm not the most diligent in terms of supplements). I don't think I noticed any major improvement in my digestion and whatever stress I have just tends to go away on its own eventually when things work out.

The pills are your standard supplement size pills filled with some sort of powder. It's easy enough to swallow with a big gulp of water, but does leave a slightly weird taste in my mouth. I made sure to take this when I ran and was sore all over afterwards. My whole body muscle ache lasted about three days, which felt a little long. Just for the sake of science I did the same run again about a month later but didn't take the supplements, and noticed no difference at all. Well that was disappointing.

I have a fussy GI tract, which means a high frequency of ... unhapy toilet trips. I took this a couple times when that happened, but I really don't think it helped that much.

So overall I'm not entirely convinced that it's done anything at all. I think my diet is balanced enough to give me all the magnesium I need. Maybe if you were deficient then you would notice an improvement? Either that or I didn't take this for long enough regularly. I won't be buying them again.

Odd Side Effects?

I got this in a vault earlier this year. I have never used supplements before and since I had muscle cramps and spasms I thought I should try it.

First impression. A biggish capsule to swallow, I would have appreciated a smaller one. Would make it easier to take. Also noticed it left a bit of an after taste.

Did they work? Well during the course of taking the supplements I can say i have had no cramps or spasms which is good. Side effects: I have no idea why it caused this reaction but I was very gassy after taking these. Also mucked up my normal regular bowel movements which I didn't appreciate.

It does what it says it will, however I don't like the side effects from this so would not repurchase.

No changes

I won a gift basket of Nutralife supplements on facebook last year and this one was in my basket . I’ve never really tried supplements until this year.

Packaging comes in a screw top container . This pill is quite large compared to other supplements I have from Nutralife.

Over the past few months I never really noticed any significant changes in my health. I guess it will take some more time. I think their fairly priced. I might buy more to see if I see any changes.

Not for me

I have tried so many magnesium supplements trying to find the best one for me. I picked these up from healthpost for around $21 for 60 capsules. I like the idea of it being gentle on the stomach too as some magnesium can cause some mega issues.

I primarily like to take magnesium to help with sleep, anxiety and restless legs. I found these didn't really make a huge difference for me, they helped a little bit but not enough for me to continue buying them.

I also find the size of the capsule very offputting as I hate swallowing pills so for me I now use a magnesium powder which is amazing stuff. While this may work for some it just wasn't for me.

Magnesium Sleep + Quality review

With this product I have to say the quality is horrendous. I had the capsules tiwce the product has given me stong side effects. I had strong stomachahe, gas filled my body I couldn't breathe properly. As a result I have to take two days off work. If you look at the product label closely, it doesn't mention anything in regard to precautions, instruction for use nor any side effect it may give the final users. I don't know if the product was made up to standard and qually not sure if the ingridents used for this specific batch of the product met specifications. I had sent a product complaint to Nutra Life, but so far received no response. All in all the experience I had with the product was so unpleasant.

Tips: I wouldn't buy the product again.
