Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I used to take this supplement occasionally because I know that most of us are quite magnesium deficient and its a vital nutrient for our body. I wasn't taking it regularly but felt I was probably getting *some* benefit. Fast forward a few months and I find out Im pregnant. I have the normal morning sickness and debilitating fatigue a lot of women go through. Around 8 weeks I take a turn for the worse and all of a sudden I am having palpitations. They start out as being annoying and infrequent but turn into near constant, with huge flip flops of my heart and non stop fluttering, coughing, and discomfort. Supposedly some palpitations are normal for pregnancy but this was substantial. I go to my OBGYN who is immediately concerned and refers me to a cardiologist. I am so sick at her office I call my partner to come meet me because Im not even sure I can make it home. The nausea and palpitations are that overwhelming. Some time that evening I remember a book I read about Vitamin D deficiency and how once you raise your D levels its extremely important to supplement with Magnesium as well. I had just gotten the results back from my D test that I was HIGH, thats what the doc thinks anyway, I believe Im finally at optimal levels. But that also means I am probably incredibly magnesium deficient between that and my increased blood volume from pregnancy. I immediately take one of these capsules for the evening. The next morning I take another, as well as one that evening. If it were up to my Western Doc she would have told me 300mg MAX which is like barely enough to move the needle at all. 3 days. Thats how long it took for me to go from non-stop palpitations, like keeping me up all night palpitations, to nothing. 85% improvement in 48 hours and then just gone. I've kept a maintenance dose of 1 of these capsules just to see how I feel and so far so good. Not only are the palpitations gone and Ive cancelled my cardiologist appointment, but my fatigue is also gone. Nausea reduced by 80% as well. What kills me is when I told my doc all that had resolved and her only response was a chuckle and "I doubt you're magnesium deficient but you can take 300 MG if you want" UGHHHH. Meanwhile the treatment for pre-eclampsia in pregnancy which is high blood pressure and can be accompanied with all kinds of heart problems is guess what?? IV magnesium!! So to summarize, your doctor may be absolutely clueless (most likely) and it is up to you to do your research and find the info that might literally save your life. As far as this product in particular goes, clearly it has effective absorbency and has done a wonderful job for me with no side effects. I wont be without it.
