Great supplement. Good value. Tasteless and dissolves really well.

I have been struggling with chronic insomnia for over a decade. I have tried nearly everything under the sun - OTC remedies, prescription sleep aids, melatonin, 5-HTP supplements, hypnosis, acupuncture. Everything sorta worked - if I was lucky, I could get 4 hours of sleep (with Ambien and Lunesta, but ended up with a hangover), but usually I could count on 3 hours, tops. Recently I started looking into a Paleo diet, and came across a back-of-the-book recommendation for a particular brand of magnesium citrate as a way to increase sleep and energy and decrease anxiety. So I did a little research, though it was worth a shot.This. Stuff. Works. The first night, I slept 9 - yes, 9! - hours. I don't think that's happened since I was an infant. I haven't needed an alarm clock for 10 years. I need one now. Normal people don't get giddy about the necessity of an alarm clock, but I am thrilled.Granted, I have not used any other Magnesium Citrate Powder, so I don't know if this is better than any others. I chose this one because it seemed like a good value. It arrived quickly, and the packaging is a high-quality resealable bag (that you can actually reseal). I prefer the flat bag to other brands that arrive in a tub, as this takes up much less space and the container will shrink along with the supply. I keep it in the fridge, though all the package recommends is 'cool, dark and dry', so I suppose it a cabinet would be fine, too.I am using a heaping 1/2 teaspoon mixed into ~4 ounces of cool water. It's a very fine powder, has no taste, and it's like drinking chalk water. I take it before heading upstairs for the night, and have been falling asleep within 30 minutes, staying asleep, and feeling amazing the next day.Highly recommended - I will absolutely re-order this product!

Excellent supplement that does exactly what it is supposed to do. People debate a lot about the way it dissolves in liquid and after my wife and I have been using it a while, I discovered that if you let it sit in the liquid for a few minutes the grainy textures completely disappears.That being said, I only do that if I am busy and forget I mixed it, usually I mix and immediately drink as the grainy texture is not bad. If it bothers you, let the mix sit for a short time and perfectly smooth.You can vary your dosage on how much laxative effect this has in your system. The full 1/2 teaspoon is usually good for me but occasionally I cut it in half to 1/4 tsp, if needed...Buy and you won't be disappointed!! Quality at affordable price!!

Good way to add magnesium to your diet. I personally put it in my smoothie as an additional ingredient. Tried hot water but it didn’t dissolve. The smoothie worked best.

I recently received a shipment of 1 kg of Pure Magnesium Citrate Powder from BulkSupplements, after extensively researching the benefits of such. My experience with this product has been nothing but positive, and to a greater extent than initially expectedAfter vitamin D, magnesium remains as the most widespread deficiency. Most individuals across the globe, especially those in America, are horribly lacking in this vital mineral, partly due to soil depletion, and also due to an unhealthy modern diet. Therefore, almost everyone should supplement with magnesium, as it is only found in respectable quantities in foods that few may eat on a regular basis, such as walnuts and fish.NERVOUS/ENDOCRINE: Magnesium plays a role in a plethora of activities within the human body, as well as in the brain. Magnesium plays a massive role in the regulation of serotonin, and especially in the production of melatonin. Supplementing with magnesium will act as a mild anti-depressant, as well as a sleep-aid. I have personally used it as a sleep-aid, and it is phenomenal. It brings a wave of calmness and clarity upon the body before sleeping, which allows a deep, restorative sleep. This is reason enough to make magnesium a part of your supplemental arsenal.MUSCULAR: The mineral also plays a role in reducing cramps and allowing muscles to fully recover from a contraction, which leads to better recovery and less muscle tension throughout the day. If you workout, you should take magnesium, as it assists in lactic acid removal, which will minimize delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and speed recovery. If you don't workout, you should still take magnesium, and probably even more so, as you are not stimulating your muscular tissue on a regular basis, which will lead to various problems too numerous to mention here, not exclusive of chronic muscular tension.SKELETAL: Magnesium also involves itself with bone formation, alongside calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin K2. If you wish to avoid problems such as osteoporosis, weak joints, stress fractures, or other physiological injuries involving bone structures, you must ingest adequate amounts of these 4 nutrients, as they are synergistic. This applies to teeth as well as bones.DIGESTIVE: In the modern era, humans consume far too many carbohydrates, and as a result we secrete far too much insulin, which gives us lamentable health problems, including type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome Magnesium improves cellular efficiency in transporting and metabolizing glucose, so we need less insulin to do the job properly. If you have eaten the modern diet for any extended period in your life, you should add this to your supplement list, as you are most likely suffering from some degree of metabolic derangement.EXCRETORY: If you have problems with constipation, magnesium citrate acts as a mild laxative. With both its laxative and calming effects, it brings a psychological effect of cleansing and is a peaceful way to end your day.Magnesium is a fantastic supplement, and it is relatively cheap to purchase. Alongside vitamin D, magnesium is the most important nutrient for the modern person, as we are all below optimal levels. Often, magnesium is sold in horse capsules, and I have no interest in taking these. Buying the powder provides a cheaper and more enjoyable option, and magnesium citrate provides for far better absorption than magnesium oxide, a cheaper alternative.Simply mix a teaspoon of of magnesium citrate powder with water, either a small shot glass or a larger glass, depending on your tolerance of the earthy taste, and drink the mixture about 1 hour before bed. Note that this particular powder is not very soluble in water, so you will need to stir the mixture before you drink.

Very healthy and works perfectly for relaxing and sleeping well! 👌
