I use it to control my blood pressure. and have used it many years. Great and it seems to be gluten free.
*MagTab SR is 100% gluten free.
Mary W., May 2013For anyone who takes diuretics- or for some other health reason- suffers from a magnesium deficiency, these slow release tablets are a godsend. Instead of racing through your system like a conventional magnesium supplement- which can cause an upset stomach, diarrhea, etc.- taking this product allows a steady release of magnesium.
I've been taking these for years at a relatively high dose level and can attest to the consistency and effectiveness of Mag-Tab SR. No more return of "pins & needles" sensation in my fingers and toes when the levels fall too low between doses of a non SR tablet.
Of course the price is higher, but these tablets are well worth the benefits to your health of a reliable time-release action.

I work on a pipeline all day in extreme heat or extreme cold. I was experiencing 2-3 migraines a week. A friend suggested that I might have low magnesium levels. He suggested I try MagTab SR. First month on this product I only had one migraine. After a year on MagTab SR - I am migraine free!

I have been using this product for several years. The one thing I like about it over some of the others is that it is time released. I have tried on two occasions to go to another brand, but have always come back to the Mag-Tab SR Caplet. I highly recommend. Good product!!!

Very quick to fill order! My husband was going to run short on this wonderful supplement and formerly purchased it from our doctor which happens to be 1.5 hrs away. So i thought to order online and was amazed how seamless and quick the order and fulfillment process was. Very fast to deliver!!

The best magnesium around. I take it for Lyme symptoms.

Recommended by my doctor to take and it works!

Mag-Tab is wonderful works great. The price is right from this provider. It showed up ahead of time. I give it and them a 5 stars rating. I have been taking Mag-Tab for over 10 yrs.

MagTab SR changed my life and saved my career. I was leaving work at least once a week with a debilitating migraine. Had to be in a dark room with no light or sound for hours. Since on MagTab SR I have no left work once due to a migraine. Love this product

I used this for years to help reduce migraine headaches. I no longer have the headaches and used Mag-Tabs before bed to help me sleep. I take three with one out for a spare in case I wake up in the middle of the night. They don't work as dramatically as a sleeping pill but I find them most helpful in falling asleep.

Excellent product. Magnesium with no intestinal side effects. Excellent service from the provider.
Margaret M., November 2014
Magnesium has been difficult for me to introduce into my system. I have tried other types with bad results(bloating, intestinal upset and "the runs"). I did some research on this type of mag. it is the most absorbed into our systems. I am sleeping better, have less constipation, less muscular spasms, more energy. I started with 2 tabs 3 times a day for a few days then went to 2 caps 2 x day reducing to the 1 cap. x 2 day. I have read there is more research being done on mag. levels and disease. do your research when choosing any remedy!

I was experiencing skipped beats and went to my cardiologist who checked my magnesium level and found it low. She said that the Mag-Tab SR caplets was what she wanted me to take because the body absorbed more of this specific medication than of other magnesium supplements. I have been on this for several years now and unless I do something stupid like forgetting to reorder in time, I have had no further skipped beats. Great product. Wish was a little less expensive since I have to take so many (3 tabs a day).

This is a slow release form of magnesium lactate. It is the form of magnesium recommended by the famous Lyme physician Dr. Burrascano. You might wonder why this supplement works as I did as it contains just 84 mg of elemental magnesium per caplet. However, it does work. I am a Lyme patient and have taken this supplement for over 10 years and can testify to its effectiveness.With the right dosage - two per day (Q12) in my case heart palpitations, muscle cramps, and high blood.pressure are a thing of the past for me. You may want to start with one caplet per day and increase from there.
One problem here is the cost relative to other magnesium supplements. The problem is that these things work! They are effective and with very low dosage. At present, September 2014, the 100 caplet bottle will cost you 34 cents each. Accordingly, since this is a long term solution for me, I buy them 1000 at a time directly from Niche Pharmaceutical at half that price of 16.4 cents per caplet. The only down side is the yellow dye they put in these things. And, for some people this fact makes these things unacceptable either because they don't want to put that stuff in their bodies or because of an allergic reaction to the yellow dye. I did not judge the dye relative to the benefits enough to drop one star from the rating.
Rearden S.I've had Crohn's Disease causing malabsorption problems a good part of my life. I was very deficient in Magnesium. Taking regular magnesium tablets only made matters worse by causing diarrhea. With Mag-Tabs, I can get my Magnesium without the diarrhea. It is a Godsend!

Among the many things that magnesium supports in your body is mental health. I have been taking it for 20 years to moderate mood swings caused by hormonal imbalance as recommended by my doctor. It has brought stability to those imbalances, including uncontrollable crying, and therefore stability to my life. I can NOT imagine my life without it. I am certain that the time release nature of it makes it superior to other forms. Words can't convey how grateful I am to have this product.

Brief background - I suffer from both severe chronic food allergies and sensitivities and regular migraines (I'm a poster child for leaky gut!). If any nutritional supplement has a trace of something questionable in it, it sets off a round of GI problems for me. Mag-Tab was recommended by my doctor as the only Mg supplement with a proven record of bioavailability. Mg oxide is cheap, but not well absorbed. Mg citrate is better, but wrecks my bowels, since it is a laxative. I've never, ever had any side effects from Mag-Tab. When I stopped using it for a while, my migraines became MUCH worse. Started using Mag-Tab again and the migraines settled back down. I take 4 tablets per day. I've been using it for years and it works for me!

I have been on MagTab SR for 20 years. I take it religiously. I know what severe migraines feel like and I don't ever want to experience another episode. I had 3-4 migraines a month for several years. I started MagTab SR and have not had ONE migraine in the last 20 years. All the other meds I tried to both treat and prevent migraines with had so many side effects. I have no side effects with MagTab SR.
Allan A., 55I have been taking the Mag Tab SR for at least 8 years now and it certainly works much better than anything else on the market for long lasting magnesium supplementation. There is no stomach distress or diarrhea with this form and they are easy to take. The large quantity bottle of 1,000 is economical and handy. I can't begin to tell you how wonderful the ladies of the ordering and processing dept. are. I receive my meds so quickly with the least expensive form of shipping. Once I had to have them in a very short amount of time and was going to order with a higher rate of shipping but the staff informed me that in all honesty it was not going to get there any faster for the higher rate. I have never had one negative issue with this medication or company in all these years. I will continue to use Mag-Tab SR for my choice of long acting supplementation.

My son has damage to his kidneys from chemotherapy he received for a malignant pediatric brain tumor. We tried all the other magnesium supplements but could not get his blood level into the normal range and he was taking massive doses which caused diarrhea. Since starting Mag SR, his blood levels are in the normal range and he has to take a lot less pills.
Kris K.
I have to take this as I had a pituitary tumor removed. I need the replacement Magnesium and this product gives me the extended release that I need. I buy the 1000 size because it is the best value that I can find. Much cheaper than I used to get in town and it is delivered to my door.
Becky N.My wife has been taking Mag-Tab for several years. Some years ago we learned we could buy in the 1000 tablet container thus saving a lot of money. Mag-Tab was prescribed by her cardiologist because of low level magnesium in her system. She used to get migraine headaches but since starting on Mag-Tab no more migraines.
Jack J.
My daughters have Gitelman's Syndrome and require magnesium supplementation (along with potassium). They both use the Mag-Tab SR and it works very well for them. It can keep their magnesium level in normal range. I purchase the 1,000 caplet bottle to be most cost effective. Each daughter goes through about one 1,000 caplet container in four months. Thanks for offering this product in large quantities.
