Question 1

Are these super big pills?  Bigger than say an advil soft gel?

Accepted Answer

They are ridiculously huge. I almost choked many times. I literally was afraid I could die taking these. They are effective, but I am finding something else because they are way too big. Cutting them in half does not work, as the rough end can then cut your throat on the way down. This is the biggest pill I've ever seen. This is in reference to the 200 mg. I will be trying either the capsules, soft gel or another brand next because these are way too big.

Question 2

Does this contain any dairy products ?

Accepted Answer

It does not appear to.  Ingredient list reveals vegitable sources and coatings but no mention of anything dairy. It does state its manufactured in a GMP facility that does produce items containg dairy, but this particular product does not.

Question 3

Will it help with constipation...

Accepted Answer

Yes. It works great for me. I have never been "regular" that I can remember. I starting taking 200 mg every night, and I am finally "going" every day, and sometimes multiple times! I do take calcium w/ magnesium in the morning, but apparently that was not quite enough. With this added 200 mg, it seems to be the right amount for me.

Question 4

At the top says: Serving size 1/4 teaspoon (700mg) but below is says 400 mg per serv.  If there are no other ingredients shouldn't those be the same?

Accepted Answer

I cannot explain why it says that and it is definitely confusing.  I understood it as 1/4 is a serving and each serving has 400mg.  What the 700mg is, I don't know, but it has to mean something.  On a separate note, the powder doesn't dissolve well in water so unless you are using disposable cups, the powder can be tough to clean from a glass.  I switched back to mag pills.
