Comments about Natural Vitality Natural Calm Magnesium, Powder, Original:

Before anyone decides against this product based on Dr. Holly's review and Consumer Labs, they should investigate into the claims (like I did). Look up the assessment of the company Consumer Labs on a website called Health Wyze (dot) org. I'm so glad I did. I don't work for Natural Vitality or have any connection to them. I am only a consumer looking for a good and reliable product and the truth.

My system is very depleted and it will take some time for I will begin to see a difference. I recommend flavor this is important to me and I will include the calicum too.

I'm lactose intolerate, therefore I could use the calicum.I will admit my fatigue is less, now I feel more like excercising again.

Comments about Natural Vitality Natural Calm Magnesium, Powder, Original:

I take it before dinner. I put 1.5 tsp in a small juice glass and mix with with a small amount of hot water to dissolve quickly, and then add some OJ. Tastes just like OJ.

This was recommended to me to help with hot flashes and helps regulate me since I take iron for anemia.

This product not only adds much needed magnesium, also keeps the intestines working very well

I'm a medical professional who at first was pleased to find a nice-tasting magnesium supplement which I was taking to help with osteoporosis and electrolyte imbalances.

Normally I recommend everyone check out supplements first at consumerlab, which independently tests products for contamination and to see if they really contain what the label contains (since supplements are not regulated in the USA)

I didn't follow my own advice, and was dismayed to find that although most magnesium supplements passed their testing, this one failed, as well as a brand called Total Nutrition.

I'm tossing this in the trash, sad to say. Here is what consumerlab has to say:

* Peter Gillham's Natural Vitality® Natural Calm, a powder, was found to contain 0.295 mcg of lead per teaspoon. It suggested a daily dose ranging from 1/2 teaspoon to 3 teaspoons per day which, at the higher end of the range, would exceed the State of California's limit of 0.5 mcg of lead – above which a warning label is required. Such lead exposure can be easily avoided when taking magnesium, as evidenced by the many other products that did not exceed this limit.
* Total Nutrition Natural Amino Acid Chelated Magnesium provided only 28.8 mg of magnesium per tablet rather than the expected 100 mg.
* Tropical Oasis™ Liquid Calcium Magnesium Orange Flavor contained only 45.4% of its labeled amount of magnesium. Instead of one tablespoon providing the promised 115 mg of magnesium, it provided only 52 mg. CL found the same problem with this product in 2007, when it was found to contain only 46.4% of the magnesium claimed. Ironically, at both times the product has boasted a "GMP" seal (suggesting that it was made under Good Manufacturing Practices) around which was written "Certified by an independent laboratory." The back label on this product noted, "Tropical Oasis believes in giving the consumer the most accurate information to allow the consumer to make informed choices."
