Do you get enough magnesium in your daily diet? Foods rich in this essential mineral include seeds, nuts, whole grains, dark green leafy vegetables and some fish. Magnesium is a key player in basic cellular function in the heart and nervous system, as well as the catalyst for enzyme reactions that create energy. It supports a smooth, efficient pump in the heart muscle just as it also works synergistically with calcium to build bone. Our citrate formulation delivers over half the body's RDA of magnesium in one, highly bioavailable tablet!

Title:Tablets TOO BIG

Date:October 25, 2011

Title:Magnesium for "Superman" workouts

Date:October 25, 2011

"I've been tracking my calories on a health website (fitday) and quickly discovered I was running a deficit in magnesium even though my diet has been rich in fruits and vegetables.

In fact new research is indicating that the RDA for this critical mineral should be raised.

For athletes, especially endurance athletes, higher levels of magnesium are critical for performance. Just google "Magnesium: The Multi-Purpose Mineral" and you'll find an excellent article backed up with references.

Since taking this product my workouts have become more efficient and I can exercise longer and harder. When I upped my overall intake from the minimum RDA (tracked) I noticed a marked improvement in my exercise performance.

At this price, for these results, I cannot recommend this product highly enough. Bravo!"

I feel better when I take Magnesium. My doctor told me an easy way to swallow a big pill is to tilt my head down a bit when I swallow - as opposed to tilting the head back. It works!"

Title:Very good product

Date:June 26, 2011

"I was in the market for a good magnesium citrate supplement because my multi doesn't provide me nearly enough magnesium. This is a very good quality tablet and the price is extremely reasonable.

One last thing. If you have a problem swallowing large tablets you might want to look in Swanson's inventory for another magnesium product. The item description says the tablet is size 'R'. I would concur concerning the tablets length, but the width of the tablet I would say is much closer to size 'S'. Personally, this is not a problem for me in the slightest. I just thought this information would be helpful for the 'swallowing impaired'.

Keep up the good work Swanson! :)"

"I have been looking for an affordable magnesium citrate and the price is good, however the tablets are Very large and difficult to swallow. I would rather take multiple tabs than such a large one, I tried crushing it and taking with yogurt but dont know if crushing is alright or not. I hope they will make a smaller tab in the future."

Title:Tablet way too large

Date:October 21, 2010

"I much prefer Magnesium Citrate because I'm over-sensitive (runny stool) to the other forms. Unfortunately, Swanson made this tablet too big. It's really fat and chunky and can get stuck in your throat. I tried cutting the tablets in half, but the chalky texture makes for a rough edge that can still stick in your throat. After having this happen several times, I threw the bottle out. It did work well for me, however, on the times I could get it down, as I absorbed it without the problems associated with the other forms of magnesium. Next, I will try the Magnesium Citrate by Nutricology Allergy Research at 170 mg and in a capsule form. Swanson, if you're reading this, cut the dosage down and get this into an easy-to-swallow capsule. A large tablet is not practical."

Title:Great Magnesium for a Great Price

Date:February 20, 2010

"Magnesium is an important mineral, and many Americans don't get enough in their diets. However, a lot of popular forms of Magnesium (like Magnesium Oxide) don't absorb very well. Magnesium Citrate has been shown to be readily absorbed by the body, which is why my wife and I take it regularly.

Swanson offers a great price on Magnesium Citrate. Each tablet has a whopping 225 mg of Magnesium, which is more than double the amount most companies supply in one pill. Of course, despite having more Magnesium per tablet, Swanson's Magnesium Citrate is even less expensive than the competition. On days when I don't need 225 mg of Magnesium, it is easy to just split the tablet in half and save the rest for another day.

Overall, this is a great deal on a superior form of Magnesium. If you want to experience the benefits of Magnesium for an awesome price, this is your best option."
