About Jigsaw Health

We believe in Air, Water, Magnesium...

Nearly 80% of the population is deficient in Magnesium. And we believe the reason is due to lack of education on what Magnesium does and its essential role in the body. So we've made it part of our mission to provide Magnesium "edu-tainment" ? entertaining educational content.

Since 2005, Jigsaw Health has been developing science-based dietary supplements with a focus on Magnesium featuring Sustained Release Technology (w/SRT^®), which controls the release of active ingredients so absorption can happen over time.

MagSRTtm from Jigsaw Health is America's #1 Time Release Magnesium with over 1,000 five-star Amazon reviews, five times more than the second closest brand.

We believe that life is too short to feel crappy. We believe you CAN feel better. And we believe that laughter is the best medicine...Magnesium is a close second.
