BulkSupplements Magnesium Citrate Powder Pure Dietary Supplement For Muscle Recovery And Bone Health Gluten Free 1 Kilogram Pack Of 1

Some things I like about this magnesium citrate powder from Bulk Supplements are: that it is completely tasteless, odorless, has no fillers, and can be easily added to water, juice, yogurt, applesauce, smoothies, any food or drink. I have read a lot of research that suggests that a high percentage of Americans are deficient in magnesium, and I know that I feel one hundred percent better when I take a high dosage of Magnesium. I have been taking magnesium for many many years, usually in capsule form, but this bulk powder is a much more economical way to buy it. I got this mag citrate powder because the whole family can take it. My 14 year old twin boys will not swallow tablets or capsules, and are rarely willing to apply liquid magnesium topically, so this is a great way to add magnesium to their diet. The taste of the liquid magnesium I have tried in the past is pretty nasty, and I suspect most liquid magnesium supplements and chewable magnesium tablets have to be formulated with many unwanted additives to make them palatable. So I had to figure out a way to get magnesium into my kids that was affordable and not too much of a hassle. One of my sons has a very mild adolescent idiopathic scoliosis and I am hoping the magnesium may help to relieve some of the muscle tension implicated in the progression of the condition. There is a lot of debate about the best form of magnesium to take, and certain forms are more appropriate for different health purposes, but for my general health purposes this form works just fine. It keeps my digestion running smoothly. I would say the laxative effect is a bit weaker with this mag citrate than with mag oxide that I used to take. And I actually prefer a magnesium with a mild laxative effect. In the past I tried other forms that were supposedly superior to mag ox and mag cittrate and found that I prefer the digestive assistance of the former. I find that magnesium reduces muscle tension and stress in whatever form. And I know that it will be working in synergy with the calcium, boron, Vit D3 and Vit K2 that I take to keep my bones, teeth, and the rest of my body healthier. Whatever form of magnesium you choose to take, it is definitely more economical to buy it in bulk, and powder is more economical than capsules. And I can customize the dosage for myself and for my kids with the powder. I am on a tight budget as a single parent, and this definitely was the most affordable way to get a large quantity of this essential supplement at a really reasonable price.

I have troublesome insomnia, and usually need an Ambien to get me to sleep. I can't take Ambien every night, or it stops working, so I've been experimenting with different relaxing and sedative supplements to help me nod off, and to fight my near-constant anxiety.I also take anti-anxiety medications, and used to be on anti-depressants. I might have to return to the anti-depressants, but I'm interested in managing my mental illness with less medications right now.I do let my Dr know about everything I'm doing/taking - an important thing to do when you're on prescription medications, since there can be bad interactions. Just be safe!Pros:- Knocks me right out in the evenings - works within a half hour.- Calming during the day when I sip it with Inositol.- Zero taste - yay! It's not yucky. :)- Pure product, with no fillers - makes it really easy to work with.Even on my couch. I'm super impressed, and plan to keep this puppy around in my pharmacopeia. I take this mix during the day, I feel definitely calmer. If the anxiety is really bad, it won't be enough, but for most days, the magnesium is great, and I'm happy I discovered it.

Magnesium is a massively important mineral for health, found to be involved in more than 300 bodily processes. The lack of it is linked with almost every major deadly disease (Google my article "50 studies suggest magnesium deficiency is killing us" for the data and meta-analyses on that). In addition to it's life-giving properties, it also is highly relaxing (at the cellular level!).NOTE: NEVER buy magnesium oxide. Studies show it has a 4% absorption rate! Magnesium citrate is the right stuff if you actually want to absorb magnesium into your body.I've used the product Natural Calm (Mag Citrate) for a few years-they're the market leader-and it's been pretty decent. But I wanted to try this because nothing is added. I've noticed a stronger positive impact from this magnesium, and I have a theory as to why.When Bulk Supplements says this is a pure product, they mean it. I read from another reviewer that Natural calm is ionized magnesium, which is why it dissolves in water. I think Natural Calm adds citric acid to it.***This magnesium citrate, however, will not dissolve in water***, unless perhaps it is hot or an acidic beverage (which the BulkSupp website said helps it dissolve). That said, I don't mind it not dissolving. I put it in a water bottle and give it a good shake before each sip.Because this is a pure product, I think I gave myself a higher dose of magnesium than typical. With natural calm I used two spoonfuls. With this one, I used one spoonful, and it felt like a lot more than the two spoonfuls of natural calm. But I didn't have any loose stools, so it mustn't have been an excessive amount. You might want to measure it out more carefully than I do, but currently I put 1/2 to 3/4 a spoonful into a bottle of water every night. I sleep well usually, but with this I sleep like a champion.What you're getting here is a tasteless powder that does not dissolve. I like the tasteless nature of this over the tart Natural Calm flavor. This appears to be pure and quality magnesium; I prefer the least-tampered-with products, which this seems to be. And importantly, based on how it makes me feel, it is definitely magnesium and not sand.This product is not sand. Five stars.UPDATEI did some basic math from the nutrition labels of each product, and you'll want to see this if you're after the most bang for your buck.Natural Calm costs $24 for 16 oz. It gives you 100 servings per bottle, and those servings contain 350 mg of magnesium.BulkSupplements costs $22 for 17.6 oz. It gives you 150 servings per bag, and those servings contain 500 mg of magnesium.SO...Natural Calm: 100 servings x 350 mg per serving = 35,000 mg of magnesium per packageBulkSupplements: 150 servings x 500 mg per serving = 75,000 mg of magnesium per packageThat's more than twice as much!

This supplement has good quality for the price. I like that the powder has no taste, so it's easy to take, and it dissolves well in water. Overall, a practical option that works for me.

I use it as a supplement and as a laxative. Works well both ways
