NOW Supplements, Magnesium & Potassium Aspartate with Taurine, Heart Health*, 120 Veg Capsules

Don’t Listen to Others, the Aspartate Form is SUPERIOR. I’ve tried several forms of magnesium, including citrate, carbonate, oxide and oratate. None of the forms I tried had any affect. I have muscle twitches, tightness and trouble sleeping and had read several studies showing that magnesium appears to help with these issues, yet none of the forms I tried had any noticeable affect. Then I saw the Now aspartate form, but read many people saying not to use aspartate form because aspartate is an excitatory amino acid that overexcites brain cells. I almost didn’t buy it after reading people putting the aspartate form on their “worst types of magnesium” list but since I had tried so many other types to now avail, I figured I’d just go ahead and try this form and boy am I glad I did! I opened two capsules and sprinkled them in my drink mix. I wanted to make a homemade electrolyte drink because these muscle cramps had gotten so bad, especially at night. I used the True Lemon Raspberry Lemonade powder packet because it has no artificial sweeteners or artificial colors, just stevia and 1 gram of sugar and is only 10 calories. I shook up it and it tasted great. I drank it right before bed and even before I finished the 16 ounce homemade electrolyte drink I could feel the muscles in my neck and shoulders relaxing, then I felt myself getting drowsy, then before I knew it I fell soundly asleep. I sleep through the entire night, which I haven’t done in years. I usually toss and turn and wake up several times and have trouble both getting to sleep and staying asleep. I awoke refreshed, which also never happens. And I had zero leg, or foot cramps during the night, which hasn’t happened in at least 5 years! Tonight as I sit here and type this I have made an electrolyte drink and am drinking it as I’m getting ready for bed and I can feel it working already. I can feel my muscles relaxing. I also had more energy today due to the magnesium I had last night. AND I also didn’t have frequent urination. I normally wake up two or three times in the middle of the night to pee and I didn’t wake up once! That was a totally unexpected benefit so I checked PubMed for some research studies and found that low magnesium can cause frequent urination. Wow. And for like the last 6 months I’d seen my doctor about frequent urination and all he did was try to get me to take some kind of pill to slow my bladder but I did not want to take medication, I wanted to find out what was causing the frequent urination and now I know! My magnesium was too low! I plan to drink this each night before bed (I hear that’s the best time to take it if you have muscle cramps, stiffness, trouble sleeping etc). This form of magnesium has been a miracle already so I don’t care what anyone says, the aspartate form is going on my BEST form of magnesium list! The proof is in the pudding! I’ve used the Now brand of products for over a decade and they haven’t let me down yet! Their products always seem to work when others don’t.!
