Kirkman Labs - Magnesium Bisglycinate 250 caps

Met this company's reps at a natural foods trade show and was impressed with their intense raw material testing and purity of the final product.These are capsules which I think absorb better than the usual hard pill, which has the potential to pass undigested. I have not gotten the same response from other supplements of the same type of Mg -- I can feel a difference with these. Also, with Mg, any amounts not absorbed by the body will be eliminated and coiuld cause a laxative effect. This is exactly the way Milk of Magnesia works (but that is Mg citrate, not bisglycinate) it overloads you with huge quantities of Mg. After using this for a short while, it doesn't take much to get the laxative effect so I have confidence that I have absorbed sufficient quantities over time. Now I am on a maintenance dose. Vitamins are worthless if you are not able to properly absorb them. It's a little thing, but I also like the jar-like bottle that they come in. Easy to open and use.

I believe this is a quality product, a high concentration of an effective magnesium salt. It does not cause diarrhea. It is not too large to swalllow and it has a relatively smooth surface for an elongated tablet, especially important for women.If you need magnesium supplementation (and almost alll of us do) this is a pleasant way to take it.I should mention that Kirkman also makes a magnesium sulfate cream, that it easy to apply (not oily feeling like Mag Cl and you don't have to go soad in a tub of Epsom Salt!) that is wonderful for local muscle spasm and can easily be applied at bedtime to work all night. Use it with saran wrap cover so you absorb it all and it doesn't absorb into clothing.Louise B. Andrew MD

Received in great shape; took as directed by my PA and I have not had bad episodes like before. Thanks for the fast service. Paul Bockting

This is a very good form of magnesium that won't send you running to the bathroom too soon. The capsules are easy to swallow & 250 capsules should last awhile. Everyone is deficient in magnesium & these make it easy to take at night for a better night's rest, relaxing your heart, and reducing restless legs or leg cramps!

Great Product!

Like their offering of magnesium glycinate, however, it arrived with no outer seal on the lid nor an inner seal, only a coil of cotton atop the capsules. This was my first experience with Kirkman Labs; maybe it is their practice. This magnesium certainly performs well. I like that L-Leucine is also a listed ingredient.

This product was suggested by my daughter's Neurologist to prevent Migraine headaches. It has helped with that as well as with sleep. The brand name is reliable for quality. Hope this information is helpful!

This is the only magnesium supplement that I have been able to take without getting digestive problems. I take 3 per day and it is one of the most absorbable magnesium compounds. I finally feel that I am getting an adequate amount.
