Let me start by saying I was skeptical about magnesium supplements until I tried this blend. The combo of glycinate, malate, and taurate forms with L-Theanine is LEGIT. Within 3 days, I noticed deeper sleep – no more 3am wake-ups staring at the ceiling!
PROS: The energy boost is REAL. I take one capsule with lunch (per a reviewer's tip) and ditch the afternoon slump. As a peri-menopausal woman, the mood stabilization is borderline miraculous – fewer 'why is my family breathing so loud?!' moments.
CONS: Capsules are on the larger side (I gagged once), but taking them with food solves this. Occasional mild stomach tingles for 5 mins post-dose, but worth it for the benefits.
UNIQUE PERK: The black pepper for absorption works – no 'magnesium diarrhea' like cheaper brands. My functional medicine doc approved the science behind this formulation.
BEWARE: Stock issues are frustrating! I now auto-order 2 bottles when stock replenishes. Teen son hijacked my supply for his gaming marathons – says it helps with post-screen-time crashes.
