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

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.

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.

Very pleased with it. However, the large size of each pill makes it difficult to swallow.

Great quality product for a reasonable price, glad that I discovered them!

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 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.

I used to get terrible leg cramps when I got up in the morning but since taking these, my cramps are total non-existent!

Honestly don't know how much it would change, but amazon elements has always been reliable
