Key Ingredients

As Glycinate Chelate
_______________________
Each serving of this supplement contains 200mg of Magnesium chelated (bound) with glycine (Magnesium Glycinate) which is easily absorbed by the body, and less likely to cause digestive issues (such as diarrhea) than Magnesium Citrate and some other forms. Commonly used as a treatment for inflammatory conditions such as heart disease and diabetes (source) there is also some evidence to suggest that it has calming properties and can help to reduce anxiety, depression, stress, and insomnia.

Our Verdict
If you are looking for a daily supplement to boost your magnesium levels this would seem to be a good option, as it is vegan, and contains only naturally occurring ingredients, including Magnesium Glycinate, which has been shown to be well absorbed by the body.
In addition, though limited in number, the product has an average review score of 4.6 out of 5, with 70 of the 85 respondents giving a score of 5. They also offer a 30-day money-back guarantee if you are not fully satisfied with this product for any reason, though this is a significantly shorter period than that offered by a number of the other sellers on the list.
However, it should be noted that this is a Magnesium only supplement and although this may help to reduce or prevent leg cramps and spasms by targeting Magnesium deficiency, unlike Medicramp it isn’t specifically designed to prevent such issues and contains less Magnesium per serving than the 300 mg dose shown to be effective in clinical trials.
