Product Reviews of TwinLab - Magnesium Caps, 400 mg
Product Review: Marketing scam
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought 2 bottles of this worthless supplement not realizing it is in the form of magnesium oxide. Manufacturers use this form of magnesium because it's extremely cheap. Unfortunately, it's not well absorbed by the body due to the size of the molecule. The only good use of magnesium oxide is in laxitives. I recommend getting a form that absorbs into your bloodstream such as magnesium glycinate, magnesium orotate, or magnesium malate. Magnesium oxide should be illegal in supplements meant to supply your daily RDA. Twinlabs makes some good products, and even makes some good magnesium supplements, but I will never buy their brand again due to their marketing scam with magnesium oxide. I have a health threatening magnesium deficiency and have been unknowing attempting to correct it using a product that is little better than a placebo. Companies that sell this product are risking people's health, and it's highly unethical not to say so on the label.Product Review: No more migraines!
Summary: 5 Stars
Medical studies have shown that some migraine sufferers are deficient in magnesium. I was advised by my doctor to try a magnesium supplement. I've not had a migraine headache since I started taking magnesium. This brand works best for me.Product Review: Too much of a good thing
Summary: 2 Stars
I recently purchased this supplement only to later find out that the "Tolerable Upper Intake Limit for supplemental magnesium" is set at 350 mg. These caps give you 400 mg in one capsule. I know the upper linits are set lower so that everyone is safe so some people may be able to tolerate more. Getting an extra 50 mg every day probably isn't a good idea.Product Review: magnesium caps
Summary: 4 Stars
The 2 bottles of capsules came in a timely manner and were well packaged. In spite of the fact they had foam peanuts and bubble wrap one bottle had broken. I wish the manufacturer would package it in plastic not glass. Anyhow the seller replaced the broken bottle with no problem. We got it in a timely manner and overall were pleased with the serviceProduct Review: tolerable level of magnesium
Summary: 3 Stars
I beleive that this (400 mg)is quite a safe amount to take. In North America, most of us are deficient in this mineral. Research studies have shown (women) taking over 2,500 mg/day without any untoward effects. Magnesium will cause diarrhea if taken in too large a quantity and more than the individual can tolerate, so it is important to begin with small quantities and work up to larger doses. It's never a good idea to start at the top (dosage).
