Good State ION-MAG - Ionic Magnesium Capsules - (115 mg Each Serving) (120 Veggie Capsules)

I read an excellent book on magnesium deficiencies. The author stated that Ionic Magnesium is the best form to take as a supplement. That was several years ago. I found this product and I’ve really like it. My magnesium levels are excellent and I’ve had no problems taking it. Just make sure you buy the capsules. The liquid is ghastly tasting. Also, storage can be challenging. I used to put them in my pill case, but now keep them in the bottle they came in which is dark blue and store them in a cool dark pantry. In the light, the pill, which is clear, starts to liquify inside the capsule and the pill casing breaks down. When I went to Good State and asked them about it, they told me how to best store them. I suggested they put that on the bottle somewhere. Before I knew how to keep them properly, I was pouring them out of the bottle and keeping them in a plastic baggie. I always found a few pills melting inside and cracked. Even now, I still put them in my pill case but they’re only there for a week and they seem to be doing a lot better than before. After this happens, they feel very oily to the touch which surprised me. Other than the storage, they’re an excellent supplement.

I prefer to take liquid ionic magnesium, however, with my busy lifestyle it just wasn’t conducive. Having the option of a capsule made it easy to add to my daily vitamin and supplement routine. With the liquid there were times I missed taking it but in capsule form I haven’t missed a beat. In addition, the taste of liquid is horrific and you have to mix it in with a little oj to stomach it. With the capsule there is zero taste so works out much better for me. Highly recommend the liquid over the caps though if you can make it work. I used same brand for both liquid and caps and I find the quality of both more than satisfactory over other brands. My doctor also likes this brand and has okayed me switching to caps since the liquid wasn’t totable or guaranteed I’d take it daily like I do with the caps. Hope this helps! Ionic magnesium has been a game changer for me!!

In theory this is the perfect magnesium supplement. But it irritates my stomach/GI too much since it has chloride. Maybe it won't bother other people. Take only 1 at a time and with food.

Having switched from the liquid which any user knows is a very good, highly bio-available product, to this pill form, I was nervous. Having used it now for a few weeks, I can say that, to the best of my knowledge, this is the same bio-available form of Magnesium. I have noticed no difference in how I feel, except for the removal of negative feelings surrounding having to swallow that horrible tasting liquid form. This pill is a wonderful alternative and only costs a little more for taking it in a pill form, when corrected for dose. Good luck in making your choice for a Magnesium product, though I will say that, if you don't use this pill form, you should be using the liquid form, one or the other. A nano form is the very least you can accept if you want health without the laxative effect (with pico being the gold standard, of course).

These capsules are perfect for traveling and for everyday use. Much easier to consume than the bad tasting liquid. Capsules do have a strong flavor, but it’s much more tolerable and over much quicker than drinking a mixed glass of liquid. No after taste as well. Both capsules and liquid are very effective.

I bought a small bottle and was mostly happy with them (compared to drinking the liquid, this was initially better). They didn't seem as strong as Remag but I was taking the equivalent dosage in capsules. I then bought a large bottle and they gave me all kinds of gi upset... raging heartburn, nausea, and general discomfort. I backed down to only one and it still causes problems at least half the time I take it. I alternated with my full dose of Remag and it never causes a problem even at the higher dose. I hate wasting this huge bottle but I can't deal with the side effects and wondering if I have a contaminated batch.

This is a good quality magnesium supplement; however, please note that these pills have to stay in the bottle they came in up until you’re ready to take them. I usually sort my daily supplements into small plastic containers (with lids) for a month’s use at a time. When I did this, this supplement shrunk inside the capsule, and the powder almost seemed to start to liquify. So now I sort all my supplements, but keep this bottle of magnesium separate and just take out what I need each day.

This is the first magnesium I have used that does not upset my digestive system, no running to the restroom. So far it agrees with my system and I will continue to use it. Got my sister to try it and she’s happy with it too.
