Haven’t noticed any benefits from taking this. Not sure the expected minimum time to use this product before you experience any noticeable changes, but after three weeks I see no change to report or further investigate.
I started taking this supplement hoping it could help with my mood and stress level because I had read that magnesium supplements could help with that. I did not see any noticeable improvement in those areas. I also found it cumbersome to have to take it three times a day with food. I often don't eat three meals a day so i found it challenging to work easily into my regular routines.
I’d say these are about the length of a quarter. About standard size. You are suppose to take three of these a day, so keep that in mind, along with a meal. There isn’t much smell to these luckily, just an ever-so-slight chalky type smell but barely noticeable. Magnesium is a great supplement to incorporate into your diet. Most people are deficient in this particular mineral.
After taking this for a few weeks, I feel that it is a great way to get your magnesium. I never noticed any stomach upset after taking. I didn’t notice any vitamin burps (gross) and I never had any of the intestinal issues that happen when you have taken too much magnesium. I like this product.
As with most supplements, if I’m being honest, it’s hard to tell whether there is direct correspondence with improved health. There are so many other factors at play – your diet, exercise, emotional circumstances. If you’re wondering about efficacy, it’s probably best to do some reading, and develop a better understanding of the role of magnesium in your health. That said, I’ve taken magnesium before mixed with water, and I would definitely prefer these pills over that. I appreciate that they figured out a way to make it a once a day dosage as well. I do feel like I can trust natures bounty, so that’s a plus.
