Magnesium glycinate as Magnesium bisglycinate | 0.55 lb – 250 g | Crystal Powder Soluble in Water | Heiltropfen®

7 or so months on: Excellent product I’ve used almost daily. So helpful for my sleep, which is better than ever, less stressed. Feel better.Be careful with how much you take - don’t overdo it. I recommend a read of the NHS page on magnesium.I’ve used pretty much every form of magnesium, on and off for several years. My area of study is also in health. Mg Glycinate/Bisglycinate are typically the ideal forms for an optimal balance of absorption (RDA), muscle relaxation and minimisation of side effects (specifically with bowel movements).If you are looking for anxiety reduction and get enough magnesium in your diet, then this probably won’t be your silver bullet. Mg L-Threonate, AKA Magtein, is the only form of Mg that crosses the blood-brain-barrier (BBB) would be ideal. I wouldn’t expect magic though from either, it’s also very expensive.With all that said, it is hard to get enough magnesium in your diet, it’s not exactly found in abundance, and RDAs (recommended daily intake) for all micronutrients are typically on the low side.It’s very easy to know if you’re getting too much magnesium- you will have loose stools as your body attempts to expel it. There’s a sweet spot. Listen to your body.My overall thoughts:Excellent, well-designed and compact tub. Decent value for money. I’m only approx 10 days into using this, please do keep in mind that sample size of 1 is not something to go by. It tastes just like magnesium (bit gross if not diluted enough). 500ml water minimum to not taste with the 2.5 small scoop.I mix a small scoop in my water bottle 1-2h before bed. I am quite active and therefore sweat a lot. I would easily say that I feel better overall. My body seems to recover much quicker after workouts when I use this. I know already though that I’ve been deficient in magnesium recently, and that getting enough with my level of fluid loss would be a pain. So I am glad I reincorporated it. I’ll be sticking to this brand unless there’s a drastic price increase.All in all very happy. If anything changes I will update this review.

I read about Magnesium and this product really does work. I have had insomnia all my life, but using only a tiny bit of this powder really relaxes me and helps me sleep.As the taste is not that pleasant, I have a tiny bit of Diet Coke with it. Then I have more Diet Coke to get rid of the taste, and then there is no more aftertaste.

Well it arrived quickly. Slightly odd taste (as others have noted), to me it's a bit like metallic fish. It's not awful if you're used to things such as soluble paracetamol or cod liver oil. Each dose is 2.5ml (half a teaspoon) in 100ml of water, but if the taste is too strange then I guess adding a small amount of cordial to the water would help. Hidden in the powder is a small plastic measuring spoon. Anyhoo, I'll let you know if it works....

UnpalatableBitterNot able to mask the horrible taste

This is my second magnesium glycinate product - as the other one - this one smells of fish, and tastes fishy and sickly sweet.It may just be that this is what magnesium glycinate smells and tastes like, but I’ll be moving back to magnesium citrate which goes great with my coffee and cannot be tasted at all.Shane I didn’t unpack and try this powder in time to return it.

Doesn't cause stomach problems at all and tastes okay in water. I was very pleased with this purchase and would recommend to others . After 3 lots it's helped my anxiety , within 3 weeks my hair feel softer and the ache in my hip has totally vanished . I've had magnesium in different forms and took a glycinate version 8 yrs ago but this is definitely the best one for quality and price. Will be purchasing on a regular basis !

Why does it say 2.5ml measurement but only inc. a 5ml and a 1.25 ?But reads 2.5ml in centre??Bit bizarre....Otherwise seems fine.

Horrible taste, I tried mixing it with some lemon juice but it's not drinkable. I had lots of weird tasting supplements in my life but I can't get over the taste of this one.
