Doctors Best High Absorption Magnesium Glycinate Lysinate Supplement - 100 Chelated for Maximum Absorption - Magnesium for Sleep

I’ve tried a few different magnesium supplements over the years, and this one has been the easiest for me to tolerate. The capsules are easy to take, and I appreciate that this is a chelated form, which is known for better absorption compared to some other types. After using it consistently, I noticed improvements in overall relaxation and muscle comfort, especially in the evenings. It didn’t upset my stomach, which has been an issue for me with other magnesium products in the past. This has become a regular part of my routine, and I’m very happy with the quality and consistency so far. If you’re looking for a high-quality magnesium supplement that’s gentle and effective, this one is worth considering. Read more

when i first opened this bottle my eyes bugged out because these pills are ginormous. i had no idea how i was going to swallow them, but they go down soooooo easy. there have been a couple times where i struggled to get them down using water, but if i used juice or a carbonated drink instead, it went down easy peasy. i've only been taking these for around 3-ish weeks but have noticed a significant difference in my levels of anxiety, as well as it helping my gut which is sluggish normally. i cannot recommend these enough and will continue to buy them as long as they are available. please do not ever reformulate these! these are perfect!!!

Your reasons for coming across this product are probably varied. One thing you may have found frustrating was trying to determine which type of magnesium (atomic symbol for magnesium is Mg) is right for you (there are over 20 magnesium variations and I researched them all). From the very basic (Mg) hydroxide (often used in products to aid in clearing constipation...think Milk of Magnesia) to this finest form of (Mg), Magnesium Glycinate (Mg that has undergone a chelating process with another chemical compound, lysinate). So what does this mean to you? Magnesium glycinate is the most bioavailable form of (Mg) there is. By going through the chelating process this (Mg) has the smallest size molecular structure of all of the (Mg)s. It makes it's way into all of your tissues and most importantly IT CAN PASS THE BLOOD/BRAIN BARRIER. Not long after taking you will most likely notice a calming effect. Magnesium Glycinate has long been called the original supplemental "chill pill". It acts as a calmative on the entire nervous system. One person got ahold of me with the information that this product even helped with her IBS. Makes sense considering it's nerve calming effect. I was seeking out a product that would help with STRESS/ANXIETY during the day AND also act as an aid with my ONSET (difficulty falling asleep) INSOMNIA as well as my EARLY AWAKENING INSOMNIA. I found what I needed right here and so have my friends that have ordered and used the product after my success. Two tablets (400 mg total) is listed as 100% of the Recommended Daily Allowance. That is a minimal number. It can be well exceeded. That value does not take into account the fact that about 70% of the U.S. population is (Mg) deficient. I take one 200mg tab twice a day to help with stress/anxiety. If you are really bad off take 2. Would you like help in falling asleep and staying asleep? Take between 400 mg and 800 mg at bed time. You would of course start at 400 mg. I was successful with 400 mg for 3 days, then 600 for 3 days, the finally at 800 mg. If you have any concerns make the jumps 1 week apart. Magnesium has it's own way of letting you know if you have gone beyond your maximum threshold...you will get diarrhea. No long and protracted bout, but you will know (remember the Milk of Magnesia?). Perhaps go back to your pre-diarrhea level, or better yet slow down in the increase speed. The body will most likely adjust. Now, as to this product having any interactions with medications you may already be taking. Just Google a "medication and supplement interaction checker". For me I had one interaction and that was with my gabapentin. I must take my (Mg) two hours before taking my gabapentin or the proper absorption or the gabapentin could be stunted. This is the most common medication interaction with (Mg). Don't want that. In summary I find this product to be a VERY effective tool in dealing with stress, anxiety, and insomnia! What could be better? Good Luck, Todd ***UPDATE*** I was disappointed that I could not take this magnesium at bedtime due to my taking of gabapentin. There is most definitely a "golden hour" of relaxation with this product. I contacted my physician regarding the gabapentin/ magnesium glycinate issue. There is NO requirement to separate this product from your gabapentin. The interaction I found was with more elemental forms of (Mg). I now take at bedtime and fall asleep faster and with a more serene feeling. I apologize for the incorrect information. Read more

I hate that these are GIANT pills, I found them ridiculously hard to swallow. However, they are effective and high quality. Read more

Gentle on the Stomach and Truly Effective I’ve tried several forms of magnesium over the years, and this Doctor’s Best High Absorption Magnesium Glycinate Lysinate is one of the few that consistently delivers results without the stomach upset some other types can cause. The tablets are small enough to swallow easily, and I like that each serving provides 200 mg of elemental magnesium that’s chelated for better absorption. After a couple of weeks of steady use, I noticed more restful sleep and fewer nighttime muscle cramps—something that had been bothering me after workouts. Unlike magnesium oxide or citrate, this doesn’t send me running to the bathroom, which makes it much more practical for daily use. The bottle size is generous (240 tablets), so it lasts a good while, even with regular use. Things to keep in mind: the tablets are a bit chalky if you let them sit on your tongue too long, so swallowing quickly with water is best. Also, while two tablets is a serving, people with higher needs may want to discuss dosage adjustments with their doctor. Bottom line: A well-absorbed, stomach-friendly magnesium that supports sleep, relaxation, and muscle health—an excellent choice for long-term supplementation. Read more
