Amazon Elements - Chelated Magnesium, 240 tablets, 270 mg per Serving, as Magnesium Glycinate Chelate, Vegan

So PCP are worthless anymore and overpaid. I have been complaining for a long time that I don't absorb potassium well and have a lot of issues with that and think I need magnesium and not one of them suggested chelated magnesium glycinate to me. Most insurances only cover citrate or oxide, so PCPs only seen to know what pharma meds to push on us... I brought up to my PCP that I didn't tolerate oxide well. Her suggestion was to take it at bedtime! Which then has me running to the bathroom at 2:30 am. And when you wear a CPAP mask also, that becomes really upsetting. Plus how can I absorb potassium better if I'm constantly depleted of it from IBS? I then found out from a Facebook Reel about the other forms of magnesium that my PCP didn't tell me to try. She just gave up and didn't care. Did her bare minimum. I tried out magnesium l-threonate and it did great, but if I missed a day I had bad withdrawal symptoms. Come to find out that the dose was way too high. So I had to withdrawal from it and stop taking because most of the L-threonate comes in doses higher than what you're supposed to have daily. Point being I finally got to trying out magnesium glycinate. I tried regular ones first and I was still getting muscle cramps in my feet and my blood pressure wasn't regulating well. Once I switched to this chelated type my BP has been getting lower and lower along with taking a daily potassium supplement that has a little extra magnesium oxide in it as well. I might be able to eventually get off BP meds with eating low histamine and taking the magnesium and potassium daily. Sad thing is PCPs won't tell you about this. They only know how to push the money makers for them onto you that have bad side effects. Especially when used long term. These are a bit bigger than I'm used to, but I seen to swallow them fine in the morning. I even use a CPAP machine at night so have dry mouth in the am when I take my meds and I'm fine. But you could always use a pill cutter to cut into halves to help.

I received this bottle of magnesium tablets yesterday, so I cannot review the actual effectiveness at this time; however, I was compelled to share my research with the Amazon community after accepting my delivery. As a person who is extremely mindful of the quality of supplements, I searched everywhere for a magnesium supplement that is chelated, highly bio available, and not buffered (usually with cheap magnesium oxide); I found that this particular bottle of magnesium meets all my requirements and is priced better than all the lesser-quality alternatives. Yes, these tablets are huge and a little difficult to swallow at times, but that can be resolved by taking them slowly (one at a time) and positioning them so they slide down properly. All other aspects of this amazing product are as close to perfect as you can get. Thank you Amazon for producing this treasure and offering it at an excellent price. I only wish you would expand your supplement selection so that I can replace my TruNature/Kirkland Signature supplements with the Amazon brand. Keep taking care of your customers and we will keep taking care of you.

Good stuff, but the pills are huge. Hard to swallow.

After testing numerous magnesium supplements over the past two years, I can confidently say this Amazon Elements formula performs just as well as brands costing 2-3x more. The magnesium glycinate chelate form is the gold standard for absorption and gentleness, and this delivers exactly what you'd expect. Why This Form Matters: Unlike cheaper magnesium oxide (which causes digestive upset and poor absorption), the glycinate chelate binds magnesium to amino acids. This dramatically improves bioavailability while being gentle on the stomach. I've taken this on an empty stomach without any issues. Value Analysis: 240 tablets = 120 servings (2 tablets per serving) 270mg elemental magnesium per serving (about 65% daily value) Cost per serving: Roughly 1/3 the price of comparable Thorne or Life Extension products Third-party tested with results available on Amazon's transparency page Real-World Performance: I've been using this for 4 months, taking 2 tablets before bed. Notable improvements include: Better sleep quality and fewer middle-of-night wake-ups Reduced muscle tension after workouts Less leg cramping (was a recurring issue) More consistent energy levels (magnesium supports 300+ enzymatic reactions) Quality Observations: Tablets are medium-sized, easy to swallow No chalky aftertaste or digestive discomfort Consistent results batch-to-batch Clean label - no unnecessary fillers or artificial ingredients Vegan certification is legitimate Comparison Notes: I previously used Doctor's Best and NOW Foods magnesium glycinate. This Amazon Elements version produces identical subjective effects at significantly lower cost. The tablet size is actually more convenient than some capsule alternatives. Minor Considerations: Takes 2-4 weeks to notice full benefits as you replenish stores Two tablets daily might be inconvenient for some (I prefer splitting morning/evening) Bottle could use better moisture protection in humid climates Bottom Line: This is proof that Amazon's private label supplements can compete with premium brands. The magnesium glycinate chelate form, third-party testing, and exceptional value make this my go-to recommendation. I've already reordered and will continue using this as my primary magnesium source. As always, consult your healthcare provider before starting new supplements, especially if you take medications that interact with magnesium.

This is the only magnesium glycinate I’ve tried that actually helped me rest better at night. I take it with a meal to mitigate stomach discomfort. I have taken several brands without success and so I am happy to have found this. I will say that the pills are large. If you have trouble swallowing that’s something to consider (use a pill cutter). It doesn’t bother me. I will definitely stick to this brand.

This magnesium supplement has been excellent! The chelated form is easy to absorb, and I’ve noticed a real difference in my sleep quality and muscle relaxation since I started taking it. The tablets are a good size, easy to swallow, and gentle on the stomach with no side effects. I also appreciate the clean labeling and transparency from Amazon Elements — it feels like a trustworthy product. Great quality at a fair price!

I think that the ease of swallowing is underrated. I think that the size mentally biases people into thinking it will be hard to swallow and that makes it so for them. Actually, some pills are very “grabby”, or they dissolve quickly and that makes them stick to your tongue, or start to give you an unpleasant taste. These pills seem coated to form a smooth exterior that helps the pill go down easily, and not dissolve instantly. They are indeed large, as pictured next to a centrum mens multivitamin, one dose ibuprofen, and one dose acetaminophen. If that is a problem for you, avoid these. I rate cost effectiveness as 3/5 because another brand called Innate Vitality (IV) that I like sells capsules of 500mg glycinated magnesium that I believe is easier to swallow and is much smaller while also containing nearly double the magnesium. This pill is $0.08/pill, IV is $0.16/pill. But per pill, you get 3.7 times the magnesium with IV. When you do the math you find that these two products are practically identical in price per magnesium. They both work out to be approximately $0.30 per 1000mg of magnesium. Considering that, I definitely think that IV is the better product. I also like to take two of the IV (the label says that is okay for a stronger effect) and Although it could be confirmation bias, I feel like it relaxes my muscles noticeably more. Taking four of these large pills is less pleasant than two little capsules. But if size is no issue for you,I could see you preferring these pills if you do not like pills that are less dense than water and float in your mouth.

Two of these each night help me sleep like a baby. I love them and tell everyone I know about how great they are for sleeping. They do not cause an upset stomach which happens with a lot of magnesium supplements. Life-changer!
