          Comments about Vitamin Shoppe Magnesium Oxide - 200 Capsules:

          Of the 3 magenisum oxides i've tried, this is by far the best. One gave me hearburn - i guess from some filler. Another was pure powder (from NOW I think), but that one seemed to go right through me instead of being absorbed. this one is great - absorbs well and no GI distress; i can feel the muscles relaxing... I open the capsule and mix the powder with water or food (even though it's not soluble in water); works fine. if you do that, keep it away from eyes. Note also that some capsules seem to be alot stronger than others, so i suspect dosage not even between the different capsules. Even so, it's still the best- just be aware that that happens.

              Comments about Vitamin Shoppe Magnesium Oxide - 200 Capsules:

              This product gave me a night and day change when it came to my arrhythmias, something I was skeptical about after a failed 3-month run with Magnesium Taurate. My heart is much more stable. I'm able to do simple things like getting out of bed and laughing without having to stop and let my heart figure out what to do. For a young adult, it's hard to explain to your roommates that your "heart isn't up to helping clean today; it's been acting up all day, hard to breathe." After about a week taking one a day, this was no longer an issue. For reference I am of fairly small stature. My quality of life has improved drastically. I'm not 100% but I feel like it's possible to get back there again which is an uplifting feeling. I am finding the 400mg pill easy to swallow and have no GI discomfort from the supplement. I have also found that my complex migraines have become shorter in duration which I didn't expect. I am looking forward to eventually trying 800mg and seeing if there are additional neurological benefits. I emphatically recommend this and have nothing bad to say about it.

                  When I complained of muscle cramps in my legs to my podiatrist, he recommended magnesium. I'm happy to say he was right! I have been taking a capsule every evening ever since.

                          Magnesium is the only thing that stops my leg cramps. If I don't take three every night, I wake with severe cramps. It also lessens my heart palpitations. Something my MD said not to worry about, but nice that they're much less frequent.

                              My husband has a difficult time swallowing pills, and magnesium oxide pills tend to be big. Due to a kidney transplant and complications, he has to take a lot of assorted pills, several times a day, including several mag ox daily.

                              Joyce R: Jeanne P, I think magnesium oxide is NOT similar to Oxy Powder. Oxy Powder is a combination of magnesium oxide, magnesium hydroxide, and magnesium peroxide, 2 of which were 'ozonated' to assist in oxygen formation & transport through the colon for a 'colon cleanse'. It contains 1537mg of elemental magnesium, 384% DV. It is important to understand why you are taking a supplement. If a colon cleanse is what you're looking for, I suggest you review meaningful research and medical recommendations. If constipation is the issue, there are many OTC options that are effective and affordable. I purchased Magnesium Oxide to supplement a low magnesium serum blood level caused by long-term use of an antacid. I hope this helps you in your decision making process. Mar 20, 2013
