Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Yes, magnesium is great for the body; however, this is a false advertisement for the health benefits of magnesium OXIDE. Magnesium oxide is essentially worthless to the body; it has a low rate and efficiency of absorption. The best form of magnesium to digest is magnesium OROTATE; this magnesium is most readily absorbed by cells, and can be quite beneficial. Magnesium oxide makes for a great laxative (perhaps why people are complaining of diarrhea) and can lessen acid reflex. Magnesium citrate is also a good alternative as it has a bioavailability of 90%, while magnesium oxide lies around 4%. I never purchased this particular product, but bought a set of magnesium oxide capsules from a store, only to find that I bought the wrong kind of magnesium! My whole reason for purchasing magnesium was to help keep me energized, assist with sleep regulation, and to help prevent depression. This product in particular will be good for constipation and other digestive issues. Hope I have helped!
