I started researching magnesium supplements online and read and double checked the really good reviews on Designs for Health on
I don't really trust reviews, even on Amazon as there are so many fake/paid for reviews now. I am writing this review because I owe it the makers of this product. I have had a port placed in my upper chest for the last 5 years because my magnesium was dangerously low (1.1). In the beginning I tried Slo Mag, and every other OTC product and nothing worked. Finally my hematologist resigned to port placement and weekly infusions of magnesium. The hospital protocol was: blood work to determine mag level- if below 1.8 infuse for 3 hours and then re check within 72 hours. EVERY single time they rechecked there was NO CHANGE. So another infusion within 72 hours and recheck. And then another infusion and re check. This charade went on for 5 years. I had to quit my job and couldn't even qualify for disability in California, even though I was in the hospital 3 days a week. I started researching magnesium supplements online and read and double checked the really good reviews on Designs for Health on Amazon. I was very skeptical when I received my first order but took it religiously 4 capsules a day. Within a month my magnesium levels were rising and for the first time in 5 years I was going in once a month for infusions. 2 months ago I had them surgically remove the port and I have been taking JUST the DFH mag capsules and my magnesium is up to 1.8 ( low, but not low enough to need an infusion). Goodbye thrice weekly hospital visits and hello life! I want to emphasize this : I AM NOT PAID FOR THIS REVIEW AND DID NOT RECEIVE THIS PRODUCT AT ANY DISCOUNT FOR THIS REVIEW. I HAVE NO AFFILIATION WITH THIS COMPANY. That said, the product is not cheap,especially for how many I take each day, so if DFH wants to employ me as a spokesperson -bring it on! Kidding, not kidding. But seriously it's nice to have my life back.
