INNERTHERA Magnesium Glycinate & Malate Complex | 300 mg | Chelated for Maxim...

Wonderful product that provides 300 mg. of magnesium from dimagnesium malate and magnesium bisglycinate. I've done my research and found that InnerThera only uses Albion minerals, and that Albion is the world's best supplier of minerals. I love dietary supplements that only use the best ingredients because it means that I am getting a quality product. Make sure to check the ingredients on any supplements that you may purchase because I have found that most brands only use garbage ingredients.

Some sleep formulas come with a bunch of extra supplements and herbs. I personally would rather select which supplements to take and in what amounts. For example, if I'm really restless, I'll also take a melatonin, but that's only every once in a while. I generally like to drink a coup of herbal tea at night, and take a magnesium supplement.So I was looking for just magnesium. Also some magnesium forms like Magnesium citrate tend to have too much effect on my bowel movements, so I was looking for forms of magnesium more directly related to sleep and other health benefits.InnerThera BioMag contains only two ingredients magnesium-malate and magnesium-glycinate, both of which I was looking for. They are readily digestible and easy on the stomach.These are also chelated, which means they are more readily absorbed by the body. So this is a very high quality chelated magnesium supplement.I take 2 capsules before bed. No smell, easy to swallow, no side effects. I feel relaxed and these help me sleep through the night.These are 3rd party tested for purity and potency. They are made in an FDA approved facility in the USA, so I know the standards are high.

It's interesting to me that there are so many forms of magnesium and it seems like lots of opinions on which is best. After years of trial and error, I prefer this form (magnesium bisglycinate and malate) or the threonate version, but your mileage may vary and it may be helpful to research before purchasing. The capsules have a rice bran filler but are in a vegetarian capsule, and have no detectable odor or flavor. They are easy to swallow with liquid. Usually, supplements may take a longer time than pharmaceuticals to work in the body, but magnesium tends to work quicker at relaxing the body and mind (for me). I feel like this is a good quality supplement and may consider this brand in the future.

This is the real deal - Albion magnesium. Albion makes some of the best chelated magnesium, so anytime a magnesium supplement uses albion you know it will be good.This particular magnesium is great. Each 2 capsule serving (magnesium malate and glycinate) offers 71% of your daily value of magnesium.I take 3 capsules each night before bed to help with sleep quality, and it works great.This is a fairly small bottle, however, with just 30 servings per day.Overall - great magnesium supplement, very good quality, but not the best value due to the small number of servings.

I was interested in this particular magnesium supplement because it contains two different forms of magnesium, which I always think is better than just one isolated form, and the main component is magnesium malate, which is supposed to be a form that is more GI friendly and absorbable than some of the other forms, and I have a rather sensitive stomach so that seemed like a good idea. The dosage is also right, because many or even most supplements that contain magnesium have too high of a dosage, often going to 500 mg per dose or even more, and the optimal amount for a woman is considered to be around 300 to 350 mg per day. This product supposedly contains 300 mg per dose, which is comprised of two capsules, and that is just right, and that way you can also spread it out and take one earlier in the day and one later in the day if you want to, and still get the right dosage.The reason that I am taking off two stars is that, even though everything looks good, and so far it's agreeing with my tummy, there is no mention of any quality control on the bottle. Nothing to say that it was made in a GMP facility, nothing to say that it's been third party tested, nothing that indicates any kind of quality control at all, really. For all I know this could have just been mixed up in somebody's basement. We don't even know what country it was manufactured in. So I'm just taking it on faith that this product is what it purports to be, but I would feel a lot better about it if I had some kind of concrete substantiation of content and quality assurance.

* Of relevance to share: I take it for chronic hypertonicity, not insomnia.To be the most accurate and truthful I can be, there is no way for me to feel that my subjective evaluation of this product, like other supplements, can be shared with 100% confidence, because I take multiple medications on a regular basis and multiple supplements as well, and unless it is like an objective controlled scientific experiment, when only one variable is modified at a time, there is just no way, for me, to really know... But, having said that, there might be some mild helpful effect in my case; if indeed, it is not strong and beyond doubt.Either way, thumbs up for being Vegan, Non-GMO, and for the Magnesium being Bioactive and thus more absorbable.
