Magnesium (Healthy Metal?)

[anxiouswaiting]

Has anyone tried Healthy Metal magnesium drinks to aid sleep?

Seems expensive but they keep popping up on my Facebook, comments on there are overwhelmingly positive but I always wonder if they are genuine.

Anyone tried it?

Or any supplements people recommend?

I tried vitabiotics and it upset my stomach, got some from holland and Barratt and it didn't help sleep at all.

I can't take any of the natural sleep tablets with valerian in them so am pinning my hopes on finding a good magnesium supplement.

Had a friend recommend the Better You magnesium oil spray. Not tried it myself but I believe the creams and oils are often better absorbed than oral supplements.

I tried Heiltropfen Magnesium oil spray but found it to irritate my skin too much. (I put it on legs to help with cramping.) It was slightly better when I mixed it in with a body cream, but I'm not sure it worked any better than the Nutrition Geeks magnesium glycinate tablets I'm currently taking.

I got a free 5 day trial but cost me £3.99 p&p, not tried them yet but I will report back when I do take my first one tomorrow.

I’ve tried a magnesium drink like Healthy Metal, and it actually helped me sleep better. I started taking it in the evening and noticed I fall asleep faster.

I signed up to the Healthy Metal trial. They took my money and I didn’t receive anything. I tried to contact them numerous times but got no response…buyer beware!

I’ve been taking Together Health for around 3-4 months and it’s really helped my sleep. Waitrose/Together Health website.

Magnesium works best if it’s in the magnesium glycinate form, which is the most bioavailable (your body absorbs it best). Forms like magnesium citrate or magnesium oxide might not do much for you. I find a noticeable difference with one capsule of glycinate an hour before bed.

I take Nutrition Geeks magnesium glycinate, it’s cheap and works incredibly well.

I love the healthy metal drinks op. They work well for me. They just feel expensive.

I use New Leaf Magnesium 4 in 1 ( mainly magnesium glycinate) from Amazon. One capsule at night (they recommend 2) has really helped my sleep and overall calmness.

My colleague takes it and loves it.

I take capsules, 300mg with my evening food. Usually 3 or 4hrs before I go to bed. Works brilliantly.
