  Tastes Terrible but Does the job Superb

  It tastes so horrible I want to deduct a few stars but it works so well I can't do it. Fortunately the aftertaste isn't bad, just nasty going down. I haven't slept this good in decades using it.

  This Is Fantastic Magnesium!

  I want to set the record straight about this product because I see a lot of negative reviews predicated upon the flavor. First of all, not everything thats good for you is going to taste good. Thats just part of life. Second - this stuff really doesn't even taste that bad. In fact, Magnesium Chloride tastes worse. No magnesium product in powder form that you add to water tastes good folks, unless its mixed with a bunch of artificial flavorings - which you DON'T want. The only way to bypass the flavor is to take it in capsules, which in my opinion: is not only much more expensive than buying a in bulk powdered form, but not as effective. Magnesium seems to work best when its mixed and dissolved in liquid. I take a teaspoon of this in my coffee in the morning, and an additional teaspoon at night. I don't complain about the taste, because I know its good for me! Wouldn't you rather do whats best for your health, even if it is mildly uncomfortable? I know I would! We live in a society where we are driven by our tastes buds and not our bodies dire need for real nutrition. As a culture we often neglect health foods because of how our palate has been programmed for nothing but junk.This magnesium tastes strongly like the amino acid glycine in its isolated form. Aside from the strong glycine flavor which is very sweet, there is a very slight fishy smell and flavor. This smell and flavor is not an indicator that this is a bad or rancid product. This is just what pure magnesium bisglycinate tastes and smells like! I love this stuff and it makes me feel amazing and helps with my anxiety and memory. I actually enjoy the flavor!If you find that this powder clumps in your liquid, which it will, I recommend the following: Buy a battery powered handle coffee frother. Its a little device that whips coffee at a high velocity. This will allow you to stir not only magnesium properly into your liquid solution - but any other hard to stir herbal or supplement powders.I give this a 5 out of 5 stars. If you have a weak stomach, I can see how you would not like this. Personally, I come from the perspective of " If its good for me and will help me have a bigger life - who cares what it tastes like. " You can easily slam a teaspoon of this stuff down. Compared to other magnesium products this is not only incredibly cost effective ( under 10 bucks ) but it works wonderfully and I feel like this stuff absorbs much better than the magnesium oxides, citrates, carbonates, malates, etc. The only other form of magnesium that I find works as well is Food grade magnesium chloride.A+ Product. I love the NOW foods brand. They deliver quality products and low prices.

  I finally settled on a sprinkle of Cayenne 🌶 followed by biting a 🍋 lemon. 😂

  My husband said not to try the powdered form because it would taste bad, but it wasn't my first time downing a disgusting mixture every day so I decided to try it. I read all the reviews about it tasting horrible, and one of them pointed out that Magnesium just tastes bad so ordering it and complaining about the taste is silly.. If you have good-tasting magnesium it's probably a bad sign. Fair enough!WELL, let me tell you.. 😶 This is the absolute worst thing I have ever tasted. 😂 I thought I was prepared, but I was not. It is deceptive in that it has no smell really, and at first you can't taste anything at all. Then.... BOOM. 🤯🤢😵💫😖🫠Absolutely nothing covered up the taste. Adding it to a drink didn't work even a teeny tiny bit. Not even pure lemon juice made a difference! Cinnamon, ginger, pepper, turmeric, salt.. I was scrambling through my spices and beverages, and I tried every single thing I could think of. It's just terrible and there is no disguising it.What I finally settled on was sprinkle of Cayenne powder, followed by licking or biting a lemon afterwards. 😆 The heat from the Cayenne distracts me from the taste while I'm drinking it, and the lemon kept me from having to endure the horrible aftertaste. 🫣 I did it this way for about a week until I got used to it enough to ditch the lemon, but I still have to add Cayenne!It cracks me up to be honest.. I told my husband he was 1,000% correct, but I'm stubborn and was tired of spending money on the pill form so I was determined to figure it out. This is more cost effective, and again, it's just how magnesium tastes. Honestly it's not a big deal anymore, but it was quite the ordeal at first 😂I'm giving it 5 stars because it is what it claims to be! It helps me with sleep and such. I just thought I'd be able to cover up the taste, and that is definitely not possible. Good luck! 👍
