A Special Note About Jigsaw Health Magnesium:

By Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum, author of From Fatigued to Fantastic!, Pain Free 1-2-3, and the latest Beat Sugar Addiction Now!

Magnesium has long been recognized as a critical nutrient needed to "solve the puzzle" of chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia. Unfortunately, magnesium does have, shall we say, a bit of a "laxative action." This can sometimes be problematic in CFS and fibromyalgia, where underlying bowel infections are very common. For many people, this has limited their ability to get enough magnesium — even though they have found that taking magnesium markedly decreases their pain and improves their energy.

The good news? There is now a solution to this problem!

Jigsaw Health, Inc. has developed a sustained release magnesium product that really works. We were pleasantly surprised (we are used to seeing a lot of marketing hype) to find that it really did not cause diarrhea — yet was very effective. A bonus is its low cost. It also contains malate (malic acid) — another energy booster.

Magnesium is critical in over 300 reactions in our body, yet around half of magnesium in our food is lost during processing — resulting in magnesium deficiency being largely universal in the Western world. Even having a little more magnesium in the water supply has been shown to significantly decrease the risk of heart attack deaths. Meanwhile, magnesium causes tight muscles to relax, improves heart function (see Magnesium Orotate and Congestive Heart Failure), improves sleep, and increases energy.

In the past, because higher doses caused diarrhea, we limited the recommendation for magnesium intake for most people to the 200 mg found in the Energy Revitalization System vitamin powder. Now, with "diarrhea free" magnesium being available, I recommend that you try adding 2-4 tablets of the Jigsaw Health sustained release magnesium at bedtime. You'll be glad you did!

Jigsaw's sustained release magnesium has 125 mg of magnesium and 387 mg of malic acid (malate) per tablet (4 tablets contain 500 mg magnesium and 1,548 mg of malic acid)."
