Better then i expected it would be

So i bought this August 11, 2020, its been a little over 30 days and i have to say this is probably the best product i have ever tried to help with anxiety, lets get into details to help those who are looking for relief as well and want to compare symptoms and what this actually helps fix.Right off the back i bought this after doing tons of research and trying to find a something i could take to help with anxiety that would not have adverse side effects and make me feel dependent on any particular medication in order function. My symptoms for anxiety are, tingling of hands and or feet, elevated heart rate, tension headaches, dry eyes, numbness, palpitations, personality changes and arrhythmia. So as you can see i definitely needed something to help with this as i was having a melting pot of symptoms, now these all stem from me being a hypochondriac and constantly in my head thinking something is wrong when in fact it is not and I'm actually fine. but that's what anxiety is right, making you feel off when you're actually fine.I found this product and began to look deeper into the benefits of magnesium and i was shocked to find out this mineral is responsible for over 300 functions in our body and with current American diets we don't consume enough food to ensure we are receiving our recommended amount of MG. Leafy greens, nuts, oats and some fresh fruit are the only known sources naturally for magnesium. Now lets be honest with ourselves, unless you are eating a completely healthy diet and you don't consume unnecessary food then you can be sure you are not getting enough MG. The stats on various website ( not citing them you can look them up there are plenty) show that the average individual is suffering form a MG deficiency, which include and or not limited to numbness, tingling, muscle cramps, seizures, muscle spasms, personality changes and abnormal heart rhythms. I had a good portion of these symptoms as stated above.Upon taking this product, the very first pill (i swear i kid you not ) i felt an immediate change in mood and sense of smell. Later on i began to notice my eye sight was sharper (not that it was bad at all) i could just make out things that use to be blurry and i had double vision that was going away. The anxiety didn't go down until about three days in, i noticed my attacks were very frequent and almost non existent but they had there moments, Muscle spasms didn't stop until i upped the dosage to two pills a day ( i started with one as i wanted to adjust my body to receiving MG from a supplement and to see for side effects), my mood was also better i wasn't having so many swings from feeling good to being aggravated and not wanting to be bothered.Here are my general stats to aid in you finding a solution Age: 32 Race: African-American/Black Gender: Male Body Type: Muscular with fatAll in all i think this product is fantastic and i have been recommending it to friends and family non stop. If you are suffering from some of the symptoms i labeled and or just have anxiety or you just want to be more health conscious, then i highly advise you to start here. Thank you for coming to my TED talk and if you read the whole thing you are definitely are looking to better your health and i hope you meet and exceed your goals.Ver más

FANTASTIC PRODUCT IN MANY WAYS (Stess, Anxiety, Insomnia)!!! Read on to benefit from my research.

Your reasons for coming across this product are probably varied. One thing you may have found frustrating was trying to determine which type of magnesium (atomic symbol for magnesium is Mg) is right for you (there are over 20 magnesium variations and I researched them all). From the very basic (Mg) hydroxide (often used in products to aid in clearing constipation...think Milk of Magnesia) to this finest form of (Mg), Magnesium Glycinate (Mg that has undergone a chelating process with another chemical compound, lysinate). So what does this mean to you?Magnesium glycinate is the most bioavailable form of (Mg) there is. By going through the chelating process this (Mg) has the smallest size molecular structure of all of the (Mg)s. It makes it's way into all of your tissues and most importantly IT CAN PASS THE BLOOD/BRAIN BARRIER. Not long after taking you will most likely notice a calming effect. Magnesium Glycinate has long been called the original supplemental "chill pill". It acts as a calmative on the entire nervous system. One person got ahold of me with the information that this product even helped with her IBS. Makes sense considering it's nerve calming effect.I was seeking out a product that would help with STRESS/ANXIETY during the day AND also act as an aid with my ONSET (difficulty falling asleep) INSOMNIA as well as my EARLY AWAKENING INSOMNIA. I found what I needed right here and so have my friends that have ordered and used the product after my success. Two tablets (400 mg total) is listed as 100% of the Recommended Daily Allowance. That is a minimal number. It can be well exceeded. That value does not take into account the fact that about 70% of the U.S. population is (Mg) deficient.I take one 200mg tab twice a day to help with stress/anxiety. If you are really bad off take 2. Would you like help in falling asleep and staying asleep? Take between 400 mg and 800 mg at bed time. You would of course start at 400 mg. I was successful with 400 mg for 3 days, then 600 for 3 days, the finally at 800 mg. If you have any concerns make the jumps 1 week apart.Magnesium has it's own way of letting you know if you have gone beyond your maximum threshold...you will get diarrhea. No long and protracted bout, but you will know (remember the Milk of Magnesia?). Perhaps go back to your pre-diarrhea level, or better yet slow down in the increase speed. The body will most likely adjust.Now, as to this product having any interactions with medications you may already be taking. Just Google a "medication and supplement interaction checker". For me I had one interaction and that was with my gabapentin. I must take my (Mg) two hours before taking my gabapentin or the proper absorption or the gabapentin could be stunted. This is the most common medication interaction with (Mg). Don't want that.In summary I find this product to be a VERY effective tool in dealing with stress, anxiety, and insomnia! What could be better?Good Luck,Todd***UPDATE*** I was disappointed that I could not take this magnesium at bedtime due to my taking of gabapentin. There is most definitely a "golden hour" of relaxation with this product. I contacted my physician regarding the gabapentin/ magnesium glycinate issue. There is NO requirement to separate this product from your gabapentin. The interaction I found was with more elemental forms of (Mg). I now take at bedtime and fall asleep faster and with a more serene feeling. I apologize for the incorrect information.

The tablets are what I’d consider medium sized and a bit dry so no easy to swallow coating.

Doctors Best High Absorption Magnesium Glycinate Lysinate Supplement for sleep support is a must have in my daily supplement regimen. I’ve been using this brand of magnesium for about five years and I’ve tried powdered magnesium and a couple other brands of pill/capsule forms and always come back to Doctors Best. I’ve had sleep issues for a couple decades and at one point years ago had a prescription for sleep medication but since switching to magnesium, I’ve never taken another sleep aid. There’s several other forms of magnesium but this specific type has been the best I’ve found. The tablets are what I’d consider medium sized and a bit dry so no easy to swallow coating. As long as it’s available, and as long as it continues to work, I’ll continue taking this brand and type of magnesium for sleep benefits.Ver más

This is like melatonin's cousin, it can knock you out!

----Update 4----So it's actually been more than a year since I posted my original review, and I'm at the end of the bottle. But don't be fooled, I actually stopped taking this for a while. Months even. I think it's a combination of getting annoyed by the grogginess this can give you and also my subconscious sabotaging my attempts to take this on a routine.BUT I want to say, being off of this made me realize the difference in my mood and anxiety when I was actually taking this. I've been having consistently elevated levels of anxiety, almost doomsday thinking that's very distracting and takes an emotional toll. You don't realize how bad your thoughts are until you start paying attention and compare them to how they used to be. I decided to look for the bottle again because I was getting annoyed at the racing thoughts. I took half of ONE pill last night at midnight, and the difference in my calmness was astounding. My sleep as well. Doesn't the packaging recommend 2 full pills? I believe I also said that before as well, so this is 1/4th of the dose. And I STILL felt so much calmer today. Maybe that's how deficient I am of magnesium? I had more dreams as well where I would instead usually wake up; so that was probably my body keeping me asleep. I ended up needing a nap around 3.p.m. today, so that was either my body telling me I need a better sleep schedule or how stressed I have been. You don't realize how long you've been in fight/flight mode until your body manually flips the switch to rest and relaxing mode. And this does that, you're not just fooling yourself, it really forces you to relax, which is a good yet unfamiliar feeling for me. I'll take this over the racing thoughts any day. I was wondering if I should repurchase it, but now I'm leaning towards yes. Or some form of magnesium. If there was a version of this that didn't make me feel groggy, I would have repurchased a long time ago.---Update 3---I've been taking one pill most days for at least a month now and I think I am starting to see benefits. Whether it's just from more consistent, prolonged sleep or if it's actually the magnesium well, I have no idea. Before where it would be difficult to get anything done in panicked procrastination, my brain is starting to allow me to do tasks in fragments. I can finally clean part of my room on days where I could barely get out of bed. It's not much, but it's better than nothing.I also want to note two things:1) This will shift your sleep schedule like melatonin does. So if you take these and fall asleep at a certain time today; you will fall asleep around a similar time tomorrow EVEN IF you skip a dose. You should keep that in mind if you have certain things scheduled at night time differently; or else you might be that friend who falls asleep on the couch at the get-together. Maybe skip it for two days before you're planning to be a night owl for a day or two.2) There is a VERY SLIGHT analgesic effect. Maybe it's placebo or me being tired, but I don't feel the usual hypersensitivity in my gums when brushing my teeth. There's usually a sore spot that hurts to brush, but it doesn't feel as bad when I take this a bit before. Maybe it's the neurotransmitters of pain being blocked by the Glycine. Either way, it's welcome.---Update 2---I've noticed that I've actually been having more dreams while taking this (even with consistently half a dose) and I feel like that is a good sign. I remember reading that dreams occur when you're closer to waking up, so perhaps instead of waking up at that moment, my body stayed asleep due to the magnesium. I remember this happening with melatonin as well, so I will take that as a positive.Last night I tried taking a full dose, and regretted it all day today. I don't know whether I am THAT much depleted in magnesium or GABA that my body cannot handle it, or perhaps my body is just sensitive and used to being in fight or flight; but two pills (a full dose) really puts me out of commission the whole day. I took it around 10 P.M. last night, and felt its effects until 6 P.M. the next day. It's not even that I feel groggy; it's almost like I feel dissociated and floating. Is that what it truly feels like to be relaxed? Maybe I've been anxious for so long that I truly don't know. I felt unmotivated for the whole day, perhaps fear is a stronger motivation than I give it credit for. With one pill I don't feel panic, but with the full two pills, I barely even feel urgency, no "aliveness." It makes me wonder if people who take certain mental health drugs experience this, I hear some of say they feel a "nothingness" if their dose is too high. Perhaps during the weekend I would do a full dose, but I don't know how I could function like this on a work or school day. One pill at night seems to be the best bet.---Update 1---I've used this for a few days now at varying doses and I think I'm leaning towards 1 pill before bed, which is a half dose. It seems to be the closest to a compromise between the cloud 9 high brain fog and actual effectiveness. We'll see how that goes though. Also, I want to mention that the pills are relatively large; this isn't just your ordinary Advil sized pill. A good life hack is to swallow large pills with yogurt or ice cream if you can't down it in water.More importantly, I want to describe how I feel with the anti-anxiety effects of this supplement. I have high anxiety, my brain is always thinking in 10 different directions along 3 meridians of past present and future. I believe this formulation of magnesium and glycine cuts those thoughts in half. It's like a railroad switch that forces your fight or flight brain train (aka sympathetic nervous system) to go into relaxation mode (parasympathetic nervous system.) It isn't healthy to stay stressed in fight or flight mode all day, and that's what anxiety is. If I take the full dose of this in the morning, I imagine this is how people who get high feel. (I have no idea, but I feel lazy and just want to stay in bed all day.) So I'm trying to stay away from that. But if I take the lower dose at night, during the day I will still feel like myself, but those other busy thought "stations" are shut down. There's less panic and worry. But it also feels a little quieter and "lonelier" in my brain if that makes sense. Less activity, more rest. Less panic overall. It makes me wonder, "is this how 'normal' people feel?"---Original Review---I used to take melatonin but stopped out of the hassle and fear of dependency. I did NOT buy this magnesium product as a sleep aid replacement, it was my fault for not researching the different forms of magnesium carefully enough. I read that magnesium was good for calming down anxiety, and that we are often deficient in it. Magnesium apparently also supports over 400 body functions. Magnesium Glycinate from what I have read is one of the better absorbed formulations and it doesn't cause stomach or bowel issues. (And so far I can attest to this 3 days in!)I should have looked more closely, but on the bottle it says "sleep support," and I can definitely tell you that this will have the same effect as melatonin. I could not take a full 5 mg of melatonin without knocking out 1-2 hours later AND feeling brain fog all morning. I would have to split the pill in half to make the effects bearable. Did I have better sleep though? Yes. Was my health better? Yes. But the brain fog and grogginess has its drawbacks. I COULD NOT drive in the morning if I took a full dose of melatonin the night before. And the same goes with this magnesium so far. I made the mistake of taking a HALF DOSE (1 pill) of this magnesium in the morning and felt the exact same thing. Was I calm? Yes. But I felt I was high on Cloud 9 when I should be focusing. The next day I took a quarter dose (1/2 of one pill) and it was more bearable, but still had an hour or two of some "cloud 9 sleepy high" as I would call it. Magnesium is advertised as being able to be taken at any time of day, but I would recommend only taking this at night as a sleep aid. With my limited chemistry knowledge and research, the Glycine part of this Magnesium compound turns into GABA; a neurotransmitter that helps to calm you BUT also "aids" in sleep. So that explains that.So how do I feel about this? I'm a bit unsure if I should just take this at night like melatonin or if I should just look for another magnesium product for deficiency. I don't want anything effecting my bowels though and/or having a less effective form of magnesium, that seems like the worse of two evils. This stuff is definitely working, but I would have to find a way to make it work optimally for my schedule. Even if I take it at dinner, I would not be able to stay up past 9 pm without napping. This is basically like melatonin. I would not drive after taking this. I would not schedule anything past an hour after taking this. I wouldn't even trust myself to brush my teeth before bed an hour after taking this. This will KNOCK YOU OUT!What I'm holding out for are the long term benefits of reversing the magnesium deficiency, so hopefully it will all be worth it.

Works Great

I don’t normally leave reviews but I’m running low on these so had to repurchase and saw so many recent reviews talk about how big and sharp and chalky the pills are and how it hurts their stomach. I research a lotttttt before I buy products and this one was highly recommended. I’ve been taking 2 nightly for over a year. I take them with 2 calcium pills. I have no problem swallowing all 4 at once. Are there reviews just not drinking water when they swallow pills?? Theyre smaller than a standard fish oil pill. I measured and they’re 3/4” long. I also don’t get any bad gastro side effects, and I have IBS and have to do many low fodmap things etc my gut is very sensitive. They help me stay asleep at night and give me the necessary magnesium that I’m low on. Would absolutely recommend.Ver más
