Trace Minerals Cal/Mag/Zinc - Liquid Mineral Supplement for Natural Body Health - Bone, Muscle & Cellular Health - Supports Immunity & Energy - Gluten-Free - 30Fl Oz (32 Servings) - Natural Strawberry

This dietary supplement is one of the few I found that combines calcium, magnesium, zinc, and vitamin D3, promoting tissue, muscle, and bone density. The liquid form is a convenient way to incorporate these essential minerals into my daily routine. The natural strawberry flavor is decent but tastes like watery chalky strawberry. I wouldn't expect candy flavor, but it is definitely manageable. With 32 servings per 32 fl oz bottle, it provides a month's supply, offering good value for the investment. In a short time I've noticed a positive impact on my well-being, especially in terms of muscle tension. Adding this to a magnesium soaking routine to really address my chronic muscle pain.

Excellent product but it causes temporary abdominal sensations.

Very easy to use, and the liquid is much better absorbed than any pill, which are often too thick to properly process, resulting with your peeing most of it out. This combination of products all supplement each other, boosting their overall effectiveness, over taking any one by itself. Plus, it's easy to add to any drink you prefer, making taking it even easier, as you'll never notice then flavor or worry about it at all. I've taken the individual pills before, and they're hardly ideal.

I will say the taste is ok but it is a little cloying (I got the pineapple). If you are new to this product, I would strongly advise two things: 1. Make sure you have a little food in your stomach 2. Take half a dose at a time. The first time I took it, I really did not have much food to eat AND I took the full dose without really reading the description! It upset my stomach and it took a few hours to get back to normal. The next day, I ate a small snack and had a full dose ... it was better but my stomach was a little upset for a while. Third day, I ate a small snack and took half a dose and all was well. I took the second half of the dose with another snack later. Fourth day, I took a full dose after eating a full meal and that was ok too. Keep in mind that everyone reacts differently. I typically have a strong stomach but I found these things above helped. Hope it helps you too ... we shall see in a few months how my levels are!

We needed to supplement our son's calcium after his bone density scan came back low. It was very important to me that we find a high quality and clean supplement for him. We decided on this product and push it nightly through his g-tube. We haven't had a follow-up scan yet, but he is tolerating it well and I feel good about the quality and potency of this. I'm grateful to have this available through Amazon.

I have purchased this product in the past from local stores, but found the pricing on Amazon good and shipping convenient, so I started ordering it from Amazon. I'm not sure what happened, but over the past year (my two more recent orders--I don't always use this so I have some distance between shipments) this stuff gets gloppy really quickly to where you can't fully use the product. The first time this happened, I didn't notice until I felt I ran out of product sooner than I should have. It also seemed watery. Low and behold, a big, tough glob of this got stuck in the bottom. I tried adding more water and vigorously shaking to help loosen it up and get more product but was only mildy successful. The rest was stuck. Since I recycle my bottles, it took quite a bit of effort to get the glob out: I soaked the bottle in soap twice, then had to poke at it with a knife while hitting the bottle--with cap on--against the floor to get it all out. I figured I may have had a bad one, or spent too much time using it after opening it, even though there is no "use within [this time period]" statement on the bottle. I ordered another and got smart by making sure I shook it like there's no tomorrow before pouring a capful, then stored it, cap on, upside down in the fridge. While I could get product out, it was gloppy and too disgusting for me to drink. Instead of being the consistency of milk, it was like drinking a pasty, curdled milk. I had to spit it out or I would have thrown it up. The product does not expire till next year. Also, in the earlier stages of this latest bottle, while it was the expected consistency, it was too much in flavor, essentially tasting gross--keep in mind it's "pina colada"...I like pina coladas, but not this version of one. Despite the more pronounced flavor, it was still manageable to drink since it wasn't gloppy for the first two doses. Once it got gloppy, it was too disgusting for my mouth. The pics and video I have are opening it right after having it upside down in the fridge--the product is staying at the top of the bottle as a result. Once I pushed the glob down with my knife, it goes back down to the base of the bottle. I had a hard time recording this on my own so I got some more product out with my knife to really show how gloppy this is (the last two pictures). I have no choice but to toss this. Either Amazon is not consistently pumping out a good shipment of this product or the company is doing poorly with its formulation. Unfortunately, they only have a "feel the difference" guarantee. I guess perhaps I could state to them that their guarantee is null--and so a refund is due-- since the product isn't consumable, and therefor, I'm unable to feel the difference because I simply can't consume it. I'm not sure if I want to bother since I already got rid of the bottle awhile ago. I'll certainly update if I do. Lastly, there is 1mg of ITM iron in this. I'm not sure what ITM is or why they put iron in this type of supplement. Fortunately, I have cal/mag/zinc caplets by Solaray in storage, so I'm not without my nighttime need of calcium and magnesium. While I'm not a fan of taking 4 caplets each time (to get almost the same amount of cal/mag--1000mg/500mg--as Trace Minerals does in a cap--1200mg/600mg), the caplets are at least consumable.

I've used this Trace Minerals product for about two years, and I like it. I think the percentages of calcium/magnesium/zinc are good. The added D3 is a plus too. In the past, I had a problem with thinning bones, especially in my back and hips. My last bone density test showed a bit of bone growth. That was good news to me. I noticed that some reviewers found that the product was thick and difficult to mix. I haven't found that to be an issue. The directions say to "SHAKE VIGOROUSLY," and I do--a good 30 seconds before I pour it in the lid. I've received several flavors and I liked them all. Piña colada is very good. I recommend Trace Minerals.
