Magnesium Glycinate Powder Supplement 2-Month Supply

It is extremely dishonest to advertise this as an unflavored supplement. The taste is so unpleasant and off-putting that I dry heaved the first day I took it and nearly threw up. I tried to adapt, because I know it’s a high quality supplement, but I dread the flavor and my body rejects it, so I skip it most days. The flavor is quite bitter and artificially sweet. If you’ve taken Miralax, it tastes like that with subtle notes of pedialyte. I will be returning it and ordering the capsules.

Ok so, apparently unflavored does not mean flavorless. I cannot tolerate the flavor of this powder in water alone, between the sweetness and slight licorice taste of the monk fruit and the mild fishiness of the magnesium. I’ve found a way to take it that’s enjoyable, though, inspired by the “sleepy girl mocktail” from TikTok. First, two shot glasses of juice (I’ve used tart cherry and cran apple), then about a teaspoon of lime juice—lemon would work, too, without the acidity the magnesium turns the juice weird colors and it’s off-putting. Science! (The citrus is not enough to cause acid reflux for me personally, and I’m sensitive to that kind of thing. The pH is just way too basic without it.) Stir in the magnesium with a straw, be patient and try to sprinkle so it doesn’t clump. Then fill the rest of the glass with cold filtered water. It’s much more palatable this way, and I use it to take the rest of my meds/supplements before bed. It’s more work than the better-flavored magnesium citrate I used to take, but glycinate is a better tool for the job (sore feet from ME/CFS) and I don’t miss the artificial flavoring and stevia… So yeah that’s an option if you don’t want to take yet another pill and don’t mind buying juice. Taking off a star because it would obviously be better if it just tasted good in water.
