BulkSupplements Pure Magnesium Glycinate Powder (250 grams) by BulkSupplements

Did not help in any ways the descriptions are very deceiving.. disappointed to say the least! No help from cramps, no loss of apitite or good sleep.. used it also to make the hunger water that didn’t work either. Now I have expensive horrible tasting powder sitting around that cost me 80 bucks …. Don’t recommend

Buying the Magnesium Glycinate as a powder is much cheaper than buying it in tablet or capsule form so I thought I'd try it. I had hoped using it would allow me to stop my RX for heart palpitations and tachycardia. My cardiologist said for MY condition it was safe for me to try. Check with your doctor before making any changes to your medication. It did stop the heart palpitations and over the last month the tachycardia has improved but probably not enough that I won't need to go back on my RX again. I'm still giving it a try for a little longer. I will continue taking the supplement however because it definitely had a positive effect regarding stopping the palpitations which in my mind means I must have been Mg deficient. I have not noticed any other differences while on the supplement. The taste was terrible when I was just mixing it in water. I read suggestions to mix it in orange juice and that has made a big difference. I am able to mix it in a small amount of OJ which I can get down in 1 big swallow and it's easily tolerable that way. Seems to be a good product. I rated it 4 stars not 5 due to inconvenience of using a powder and taste. UPDATE 9/15/18 - I like the product well enough that I just bought it again in the 1kg size and bumped up my review to 5*. I'm fine with the taste now and while the product is still more inconvenient than a tablet, the cost makes up for it.

Disgusting

I bought this but am not happy with it. Does not mix well in anything and tastes dreadful

I got this supplement primarily for sleep, and it works great for that purpose. I've struggled with insomnia for years, and I've typically needed a sleep aid to at least fall asleep initially. This magnesium supplement has almost completely eliminated my need for any sleep aids. I still have trouble staying asleep sometimes, but that's much less of an issue than it used to be. And more importantly, the overall quality of my sleep is also much better now. As some others have mentioned, this powder really does taste pretty gross, but I have gotten used to it for the most part. With that said, I find it worth using a powder supplement over a pill supplement primarily for two reasons: 1) I have trouble swallowing pills. 2) I like how I can easily control precisely how much magnesium I'm taking with a powder. This is particularly important with a magnesium supplement because many people (myself included) tend to have trouble absorbing magnesium, even in the glycinate form (this is considered one of the most bioavailable forms of magnesium). That excess, unabsorbed magnesium will travel right through your colon, pull in a bunch of water, and cause diarrhea. Whenever I run into this issue, I can simply cut back a bit on my intake of this powder. Overall this is a high quality product that really does seem to effectively calm the nerves, which is very useful for certain forms of insomnia.
