Cardiovascular Research Magnesium Taurate 125 mg, Creamy White, 180 Capsules (MAGT2)

This is the most effective magnesium product I have tried so far. I feel it makes a good difference in calming nerves and my ability to concentrate. Don’t always feel such a difference with other magnesium products. Apparently a large percentage of people is magnesium deficient and doesn’t know it. I take 1 of these at lunch and 1 at dinner. Works well.

Three years ago I was having a lot of PVC's. (Premature Ventricular Contractions). I was having in excess of 15,000 per day. We were of course very worried. The concern is that over time they could decrease the ejection fraction of the heart. Ejection Fraction is one measurement of heart strength. I had read many articles on magnesium claiming that up to 90 percent of people are deficient in this important mineral. Why is that?Well the depleted soil does not have the magnesium that it once did. Plus stress, sugar and alcohol all rob the body of magnesium. What does magnesium do you ask? Well it is only responsible for 300 chemical reactions in the body. It's important for everything from heart to muscles. It's a calming mineral. My understanding is that you need to take magnesium by itself if you are deficient as taking it with calcium is counter productive as one will take from the other. I started talking this product and over time coupled with a exercise program my PVC's have dropped significantly. They dropped to 25 percent of what they were and I believe that they have dropped even further at this point in time. I will know in a month when I wear the 24 holter monitor. I hit magnesium fairly heavyand was taking 600-800mg a day of this product. I am continuing to take it but in a reduced amount. I believe it is a high quality product.As an aside my 93 year old mother-in-law was having problem sleeping and had cramps in her leg. She went to her doctor and he advised magnesium and I gave her a supply of these. She takes two at dinner and sleeps well and has no more cramps. She had a magnesium deficiency. Apparently stress, alcohol, sugar all rob the body of magnesium. This is an excellent product. At the moment my PVC's are stable and the last holter showed 3000 a day. Besides magnesium I am taking 1000mg of Taurine and 1000 L'Arginine. Both of those amino acids are important to the heart. This is some data onlineabout the positive results of treating heart electrical issues with these amino acids. Search George Eby Research and PVC's. As usual discuss with your doctor.

Great product, excellent product, great price 👍 👌 👏

I absolutely love this magnesium. Reasonable size pill. The dosage is only one capsule with no tricky, misleading dose numbers. Doesn't upset my stomach like citrate nor does it cause anxiety like glycinate does for me. Have labs to show it is effective.

Anyone who takes magnesium knows it's helpful to ease leg cramps and muscle spasms. There are many forms of magnesium, and I believe the best one is whichever works and doesn't upset your stomach. I've experienced digestive trouble with both oxide and citrate formulas, so I look for aspartate, glycinate or taurate when shopping for a cal/mag supplement. Unfortunately, those are rare, so I began taking magnesium separately at night.The capsules are small & easy to swallow. You need to take 3 to get 90% of the recommended daily allowance of this essential mineral, so 180 capsules is a 2 month supply. It's actually best to split up dosages of any supplement, since your body can only absorb so much. I find that the leg cramps that woke me up during the night are gone and the formula is gentle to my stomach. The taurate is supposed to be relaxing, but I experienced a stronger effect when I took citrate in powder form (Peter Gillham's Calm)The price on Amazon from Vitamin Shoppe is very competitive, but $25 is still much higher than other magnesium products, so I'm not sure if I'll order it again. I can recommend this product for its quality and Vitamin Shoppe for the quick shipping, but I'll probably be ordering something else next time.I am editing this today, Oct 25. I ordered another magnesium supplement (from another vendor) with oxide & citrate, and I've had a lot of stomach cramping. I can't tell if it's because the product is stronger or isn't being absorbed into my system. In any case, I wanted to add this to my March review, since I decided it's probably necessary to spend a little more to get what works best.
