The fact is, almost every magnesium supplement on the market is magnesium oxide, which isn't useful to people who live on antacid or proton pump inhibitor drugs. What that means is, if you take a pill to help your heartburn/GURD/acid reflux, typical magnesium pills are just about useless. I scoured every store in my area looking for a magnesium supplement that wasn't magnesium oxide and found nothing, so I bought this on Amazon. It did what I needed: it gave me more magnesium to aid in healing a few broken bones. Calcium won't even help with bone growth without several other things being in your diet in the right ratio. A recent study suggests not eating any additional calcium supplementation because it statistically does not help, but I believe that is because the people in that study weren't eating the other things the body needs to use calcium, so that's why a bio-available magnesium pill needed to be found. I'm happy I bought three of these. I went through a whole bottle per month and that's the drawback to these.Pros: Bio-available magnesium for what seems like a reaonable price. It's rare to find this compound in the supplement isle in the US at this time.Cons 1: Super low dose per pill: 550mg of Magnesium Gluconate only provides 30mg of magnesium. For those of you that can't do math, that means you need to eat a LOT of these to get anywhere near 50% of your days magnesium. Approximately 25% of your day's magnesium can be gotten from 3 of these pills, so when it's time to take your 25% magnesium supplement with your 25% calcium supplement, get ready to swallow three more pills instead of just one.Con 2: Powder mess: These pills aren't coated and have the texture of chalk. True to how chalk is in the classroom, these pills bleed an endless stream of dust. The cotton ball that comes in the bottle blocks them from coming out so you must remove it each time you take pills out, but that cotton is full of white powdered pill, so it creates a puff of what I guess must be powdered pill which fills the air around the bottle. It's kind of annoying and I would find myself holding my breath or walking away from that area once I got a pill out. After all, who knows what magnesium gluconate powder does for the lungs?Con 3: Taste: While these don't have a horrible aftertaste if you take them quickly enough, their chalky nature makes it almost impossible to get them down your throat without having a little taste each time. They're a little bitter, but not much. It's very tolerable. Have a glass of water ready, even if you are a champion of swallowing horse pills dry.Summary: I'd buy these again if I broke a few more bones. I healed abnormally fast and I attribute some of that to taking these pills everyday, with plenty of calcium and vitamin C, in addition to a diet high in bran, which is another source of magnesium.

Just as described, 3rd time I buy these for my mom.

Really help me with sleeping

A nutritionist told me that this kind of magnesium is more absorbable than other kinds.

Item received were exactly what was expected.
