Finding the Right Magnesium Took Us a While

Back in South Africa we had our magnesium sorted. We loved the Diskim brand because it was essentially the same formula as Slow Mag but at half the price. When we left, finding something comparable here in Dubai turned out to be harder than we expected.

We tried a few different types of magnesium after we arrived. Andrew was working outside in the Dubai sun and the cramping was becoming a real problem. Heat, sweat and physical exertion drain your magnesium levels fast, and his body was feeling it. Some of the magnesium options we tried caused digestive discomfort. Others just did not seem to do much at all.

Eventually we landed on this NOW Foods Magnesium Glycinate and it has been the one ever since.

Why Magnesium Glycinate Works for Andrew

Magnesium glycinate is one of the most bioavailable and gentle forms of magnesium available. Because it is chelated, meaning the magnesium is bound to glycine, it absorbs more efficiently and is far less likely to cause the digestive side effects that other forms can trigger. That was a big factor for us after some of the other types did not agree with Andrew.

His body accepted this one well. No side effects, no cramping and no drama. He takes it daily and it has become a non-negotiable part of his routine. The 180 tablet count means a good supply that lasts well with daily use.

For anyone who has struggled to find the right magnesium, this one is worth trying.
