BulkSupplements Pure Magnesium Glycinate Powder (500 grams) by BulkSupplements

I mix this in a drink before bed and it has been helping me relax and sleep. I think it’s the combination of both supplementing magnesium and the better sleep but I have seen some improvement in my strength training. I don’t know why I expected anything else, but it tastes kinda nasty so I have to mix it with something strong enough to hide the taste.

It taste just horrible. Doesn't dissolve properly. The powder clumps and forms small hard pellets in the bottom. You can avoid this most of the time by pouring in slowly and stirring vigorously. I have used their supplements for years, but must now rethink that. Take some time and read the other reviews - not good.

Not bad

This product works great for helping me stay asleep. why 4 stars? Because it does NOT mix well in distilled water, and the taste is pretty rough. I take a lot of supplements that taste like dirt with no problem. This was one that I was waiting for the bottom of the bag so I could switch. Yes, it works great so I can't fault the product, but wow... taste is tough to get used to so I'm going to go to capsules.

OK. So, I got this product yesterday and somehow forgot all the reviews about the terrible taste. So, what did I do? I recklessly put 1/4 tsp of the straight powder directly on my tongue and looked around for my water bottle. Oy vay!!! That was not an experience I would care to repeat again in the near future, far future, or any future! That was seriously the most putrid taste I have ever experienced in my life! I drank and drank water and more water. No dice. It wasn't letting up. So, I looked around for the strongest tasting stuff I could find in the fridge, which was sauerkraut. No go. It just made the sauerkraut taste horrible too. So, I drank more water and resigned myself to just letting it wear off. Took awhile. Today, I read over all the reviews with the word "taste" in them. Realized that juice or lemonade or anything of the liquid sort was not going to cut it. So, I thought it over and came up with the following technique: 1. take 1/4 tsp (or however much your chosen serving might be) stir and dissolve in about 4 ozs of warm water. The less water, the better. It's just a carrier and you don't want to extend the experience... 2. Add 1-2 Tbsp of lemon juice. Stir again. 3. Take 1 heaping teaspoon of Peanut butter, and eat it, but leave a good coating on your tongue and all around your teeth and mouth. 4. Give your liquid a final stir and drink it all down without breathing (you might want to actually hold your nose while doing this, if you're not experienced at it). 5. Take a bit more peanut butter and eat it. 6. Now you can resume breathing again. You will not have tasted a thing, except the peanut butter. The idea is that the peanut butter coats your gustatory glands (the glands you taste with). Holding your nose while eating or drinking anything actually blocks you from tasting most anything. You might get a bit of the lemon taste coming through, but nothing else. If you eat the second spoonful of peanut butter, it will clean out all other tastes that may have gotten through when drinking the liquid. I know this because I ventured taking a breath while I was drinking the Magnesium and I did encounter a slight taste of the foul stuff when doing so. Very slight. Maybe less than 10% of the original taste from yesterday. However, I stopped breathing, finished drinking, took the second helping of peanut butter and breathed again and encountered nothing but the taste of peanut butter at that point. I will expect a statue to be erected in my honor by all my grateful followers... 😄 I cannot yet comment on the actual quality or effect of the product, hence the neutral 3 stars. I consider it a plus that I am still alive after yesterday's experience...
