WHY did they change such a great product?
This WAS a magnificent, literally life-changing product. I have been taking it for years because it makes me so much calmer and happier. I just opened a new bottle and noticed the pills are a lot bigger and a yellowish-white powder, loosely packed. They don't fit in my vitamin daily dose thing, but the main problem is there's a new ingredient that has a bunch of bad effects on some people according to recent reviews. They used to contain 125 mg of magnesium taurate plus gelatin, calcium stearate, silicon dioxide, cellulose, and croscarmellose sodium. Now they contain 125 mg of magnesium taurate plus hypromellose (capsule), cellulose, silicon dioxide, and l-leucine. The key new ingredient is l-leucine. If you look it up, this is NOT and inactive ingredient, not just a typical filler, and not good for everyone. It can cause serious side effects in some people and interacts with some medications. (Look at WebMD's vitamin and supplement lookup feature.) I am unfortunately sensitive to all kinds of additives and am concerned about trying these. Not to mention the capsule size is really inconvenient. I may just look for a simpler formulation.
