"Effective. Good for pain, good sleep, healthy bowel.
Makes me drowsy if taken in daytime.
Stronger than other Mag tabs I've taken which is good in my case.
Would prefer capsules to tablets but that is the only down point."

Great Product-Great Price, October 17, 2007
By MyGood

"In my reading i find that magnesium has a problem with absorption-- the malate form is best for that. Its hard to find. Vitacost has the best combination of price, proper formulation, and highest concentration around. On top of that i get delivery in just 2-3 days. Can't beat the combination."
