Product Features
Jigsaw Magnesium is a mineral-based health product designed to build up magnesium levels in the organism, assisting the body in energy production and preserving cardiovascular health, healthy muscle tone and optimal bone density.
Magnesium deficiency is a common problem that, according to some studies, over 90% of the people unknowingly suffer from. Early symptoms include body aches, chronic constipation, fatigue, headaches, leg cramps, muscle twitches and more, whereas long lasting severe magnesium deficiencies can lead to many chronic conditions, such as stroke, heart disease, hypertension, osteoporosis, type 2 diabetes and others.
Although the importance of this mineral is still under-appreciated, magnesium is a vital mineral involved in more than 300 biochemical reactions, many of which are a part of the process of energy production. Unfortunately, in most cases even a balanced diet can’t provide the required amounts or they might not be fully absorbed by the system due to chronic health conditions, the use of prescription drugs or an excess of calcium. In this case, it becomes necessary to build up magnesium levels with the aid of nutritional supplements.
More than 90 percent of the magnesium supplements available on the market these days are based on the cheaper and poorly absorbed forms of magnesium, such as magnesium oxide, magnesium gluconate, magnesium citrate, magnesium glycinate and magnesium lactate. Most of them may create an unpleasant laxative effect or require taking very large amounts to provide enough magnesium, which, in turn, could lead to kidney damage.
The malate form of magnesium that Jigsaw Magnesium is based on is considered 85% absorbable and should cause no diarrhea side effects. Malate is also believed to protect against glutamate toxicity and prevent aluminium absorption. Moreover, it is one of the forms recommended by dr. Russell Blaylock in his book, “Natural Strategies for Cancer Patients”, because it is easily absorbed and has very few side effects.
The Sustained Release Technology which also sets apart Jigsaw Magnesium from other magnesium-based supplements is a proprietary technology that makes the active ingredient available in the body for about eight hours, slowing down the release time and giving the body enough time to properly absorb it. This makes it possible for Jigsaw Magnesium to deliver one of the highest doses of magnesium available at 500 mg without any unpleasant laxative effects.
Jigsaw Magnesium is advertised as containing no artificial colors or dyes, no casein, no yeast, mo chemical additives, no gluten, no lactose, no pesticides, no preservatives and no carnauba wax. Rare side effects may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or upset stomach. The manufacturer recommends to consult with a healthcare professional if pregnant or in case of impaired kidney function, as magnesium toxicity can occur in those with kidney damage.
The recommended dose is 2 tablets taken twice daily with food (2 in the morning and 2 in the evening). However, the dose can be increased up to 4 pills twice daily (4 in the morning, 4 in the evening – may split into smaller doses as needed).
Jigsaw Magnesium is being commercialized in the form of a bottle containing 240 vegetarian tablets, which provides a two month supply at the recommended dose of four tablets daily.

Conclusion
Jigsaw Magnesium with SRT is a unique formula developed to release magnesium in the system gradually rather than all at once. The Sustained release Technology makes the core ingredient available in the body for a period of eight hours, thus making absorption and assimilation much easier and more effective. The ingredients used for this supplement come from vegetarian sources and the end product is presented as vegan safe and containing no artificial colors, preservatives or lactose.
The active form of magnesium used in this supplement is the patented magnesium dimalate from Albion Labs, the world’s premier researcher and supplier of clinically-tested minerals. Jigsaw Magnesium promises to support muscle tone and function, joint health, digestive health, healthy sleep cycles, energy, and overall health and wellness. Side effects are very rare and usually concern people with impaired kidney function.

To my surprise, Jigsaw Magnesium works extremely well against joint and muscle pains. I sprained my ankle at the gym a few weeks ago and started taking these pills to help with my recovery. I was back on my feet in a mere couple of days.
This product is amazing. I’ve been suffering from migraines for years, partly due to a constant magnesium deficiency. Since I started taking this product, in association with HCF Happy Calm Focused, I feel like a different person. I have more energy, I am able to focus better and can remember lots of small things that I would have normally forgot. Best part of all is that my migraines are almost gone.
I bought this for my husband, who was having trouble with leg cramps and headaches. He was going through a very stressful period at work. It has really helped with both issues! He changed job in the meantime, so the stress levels decreased considerably, but Jigsaw Magnesium also helped him tremendously get back on track.
This magnesium does wonders for improving energy levels and decreasing muscle tension and pain. I’ve been using Jigsaw Magnesium for the past 3 years and I wouldn’t change it for any other brand.
Jigsaw Magnesium has really made a difference with my joint aches and muscle cramps. I spend between 8 and 12 hours behind a desk every day and this had started to take its toll on my legs and spine. Two weeks after I started using Jigsaw Magnesium, my knees were less painful ans I rarely had cramps, if any. This is a great product for me!
Jigsaw Magnesium works great for me against migraines and lower back pain.
Jigsaw Magnesium has made a great difference in the way I am feeling as a chronic migraine sufferer. I’ve taken regular Magnesium for years and it didn’t seem to help all that much, so I guess timed release is the key. My occasional migraines now are just a pale shadow of what the permanent headaches used to be and I’m hoping they’ll disappear completely in a while.
A bit expensive but it’s worth the investment, because with other magnesium forms I would have to take twice as many pills to get the same results, and this wasn’t good for my stomach or my kidneys.
The dimagnesium malate from Jigsaw Health is very well absorbed with no laxative effects. It has helped me tremendously with my chronic fatigue and it helps balance stomach acid, as well.
I’ve searched for a long time for this form of magnesium, because the cheaper forms (oxide, citrate, even lactate) are not absorbed so well. According to Dr. Blaylock, we need 900 mg a day and it’s exceedingly hard to get them just from food. With Jigsaw Magnesium i don’t have to take a handful of pills to get the recommended dose of magnesium, plus it doesn’t upset my stomach at all.
I use this to keep my migraines at bay, so I always have it on hand. It’s the best magnesium I’ve tried so far. Has improved my overall health without causing any stomach issues as many similar supplements do.
Jigsaw Magnesium is much more gentle than regular magnesium and it’s an excellent way to supplement your diet without the usual stomach cramps and digestive issues that normally accompany other forms of magnesium. Highly recommended!
Jigsaw Magnesium is a great supplement because of the SRT added (Sustained Release Technology) that actually slows down the release of magnesium so it’s spread out over an eight hour period. Taking it twice a day, it covers the entire active period.
Having taken many different brands of magnesium supplements in the past I know how common it is to get stomach cramps or diarrhea, which means they were very poorly absorbed by any standards (the maximum that can be absorbed is around 40 percent). This product has had no side effects for the last 2 years, since I started taking it and I can feel that I’m getting the right amount of Magnesium inside my system.
As with any supplement, the results are difficult to judge but this was recommended to me by my doctor because the Jigsaw formula minimizes stomach distress and I have no complaints on that front.
I love this product. I have been using it for years and will probably use it for as long as I keep seeing the promised results.
I love the Jigsaw Magnesium! This is one of the best magnesiums I’ve come across. Start off with 1 in the morning and 1 in the afternoon to let your body get used to it then after a few days then you can increase to the 2 in the morning and 2 in the afternoon.
I’ve been using this product for about a month. I tried many other magnesium supplements and they all caused me stomach issues and limited how much magnesium my body would obsorb. With Jigsaw magnesium w/srt, there’s no diarrhea and I feel my body is obsorbing the magnesium more effectively
I’ve started taking this magnesium supplement when I was a few months pregnant and it’s changed my life. I sleep better, I feel better and my digestion is much improved. I’m very happy with this product!
My digestive health is getting much better.
My health status is constantly improving.
