Compare Magnesium Citrate Supplements Including Natural Calm
Friday, October 9th, 2009While we come across lots of studies on the health benefits of magnesium and magnesium supplements, we appreciate coming across people’s individual experiences with the products, particularly when they aren’t trying desperately to sell you something. The writer seems to have found some success with magnesium supplements, which she originally took for insomnia and constipation issues.
The article provides a first-hand experience with several magnesium citrate supplements including Natural Calm, Bluebonnet-Liquid Calcium Magnesium Citrate, LifeTime Liquid Cal-Mag Citrate, as well as several other products. The review includes information on flavors, formulations, advantages and disadvantages of particular magnesium supplements.
“I recommend the Natural Calm with the calcium since you should take calcium with magnesium. I also like that this product has boron in it since that was also recommended to me along with Vitamin D3. I like to show my three year old that it fizzes like a science experiment and I like that it is sweetened with Stevia and prepared like a warm tea. I also prefer the lemon flavor to the lemon raspberry and haven’t sampled the plain or orange flavors. I also recommend starting with one teaspoon and increasing until you get your desired results. If stomach or intestinal cramping occurs in the morning it simply means too much was taken and the amount should be slightly decreased. I found this to be momentarily uncomfortable but was nothing serious and a common side effect. The cost can be around $14-$24 depending on the size of the product and where you purchase. I think the larger size is 16oz and will last for about 3 months. There are also kid friendly formulas and one for pregnancy as well.”
