Size Name:8 OZ
I have found this powdered form of magnesium citrate very useful for mixing with a smoothie or a pan of porridge, along with powdered calcium citrate from the same firm. I also add powdered vitamin B3 (the niacin form), and none of these three items seems to affect the taste of the porridge in the slightest degree. When using these powdered ingredients, I'm far more confident that the minerals and vitamin are being absorbed into my system than when I use tablets or capsules. The reason that I take these items, amongst various others, is that I was given a potentially serious diagnosis of a heart condition recently. After taking the prescribed drugs for seven days, I rejected them and started a fairly in-depth investigation into how I could sort myself out by means of nutrition and a good exercise regime. After six weeks or so working on improving my nutrition, I certainly feel very much better than I did during the week that I was on the three drugs prescribed by my GP. At least one of those drugs (aspirin, a beta-blocker, and Simvastatin)literally devastated me, and my own doctor agreed that I was right to stop taking the latter two. I compromised and now just take the aspirin. However, we are masters of our own fate, and none of us should just unquestioningly take what our doctors prescribe without looking into all of the pros and cons.

I chose this product because it comes in an unadulterated magnesium citrate powder. I have a lot of food intolerances and often react badly to supplements but had no troubles at all with this one. I also loved that I could experiment with my own dose and stop when I reached the level that caused me diarrhea (a simple way of judging your personal ideal dose). I am using this product to aid reduction of oxalates since this drains magnesium and calcium supplies in the body but I found it also helped with long term problems with muscles pains and chronic fatigue from Fibromyalgia and also for constipation and period pains. I was particularly impressed with how well it worked for my period pains which has progressively been getting worse and lasting for several days. This time I had one very mild cramp that lasted maybe 15 minutes. I was also very pleased with my increased energy levels. If you have any of these problems I would definitely recommend trying out a magnesium supplement and with its good quality, lack of additives and powder form I'd certain suggest NOW Magnesium Citrate. Some people find the citrate hard on their stomachs and they might want to try Now Foods, Magnesium Malate, 1000 mg, 180 Tablets

Great for easing muscles
8 Jun 2007
This is a great product the only reason I gave it 4 stars is because it is SOUR tasting!! Worse than a lemon. I usually mix it with sweet leaf stevia powder to make it taste better. It helps ease ache muscles and ease constipation. It is very good for your heart and helps some what with PMS. But it has to be taken regularly. I take it when I can not get any good blue berries and other fruit that has magnesium in it.

this stuff is sour like a citrus. It dissolves well and doesn't taste bad to me at all.

WORKS VERY GOOD FOR LIVER FLUSH
30 Dec 2011
Size Name:8 OZ|Amazon Verified Purchase
If anybody out there does natural therapies for health you probably know that most liver flushes require drinking quite a bit of epsom salts for the magnesium laxative effect. Nasty tasting stuff.
I experimented with mag. powder until I found correct laxative dose. Instead of the salts, I added correct amount of Mag. Oxide powder to juice and downed it quickly instead of drinking Epsom Salts.
Of course, you check with your doctor before doing any therapies.
WHEW! Got that said.
