The first step to wind down the day
The Natural Calm Magnesium Drink comes in 5 flavours, original, lemon, orange, cherry, and raspberry lemon. They all taste great! No strange nor medicinal taste.
The powder dissolves quickly in hot water. Then I add some cold water or juice to cool it down. I took half a serving during the day and the other half before bed. I do feel calmer and less anxious. They'll be handy on stressful days.
Worth trying!
It's a great product to drink: non-GMO, vegan, flavory, sugar free and easy to use (mixes well). However magnesium citrate isn't the best type of magnesium to use as a supplement for me. I prefer to take bisglycinate magnesium which is better for anxiety, chronic stress, insomnia, and inflammatory pain! I don't think citrate magnesium helps for insomnia, it might just help you feel more relax and/or calmer.
I do recommend this product, but I will not buy it again for my personal use.
Great tasting flavours! Buy Raspberry-Lemon! ;)
Why take this product? Because of the flavour!
There are a ton of options and they all taste great. There is even the option to buy unflavoured so that you can simply add this to your favourite drink. I enjoyed taking this powder supplement as a hot drink just before bed! Yum!
However, a review of any dietary supplement for general health is always going to be a difficult challenge over just a few days. Some products are designed to work immediately, whilst others can take weeks or even months to build up to an optimal level. It also depends on how much of a magnesium deficiency you currently have!
Did I notice a difference in my stress levels over just a few days? No! But that's not to say this product is not worth investing in. If you know that you need more magnesium in your diet, or you already take a magnesium supplement, then I do recommend that you try this option.
Because I am 40
I think as we age, we need a lot more self care when it comes to proper nutrients and vitamins. I don't usually go out looking for products but I was sent a sample pack of natural calm and love the Raspberry lemon flavor. Since I am trying to consume more water anyway, this is the perfect way to add a little flavor.
I started taking Natural Calm magnesium because I had read that mag deficiencies can be the cause for anxiety, sleeplessness, headaches and a bunch of other symptoms that affect me. It's been a week and so far it has helped a little. It's not a miracle cure but since magnesium is something that our bodies need and it'a harder to get naturally, I will keep taking it to see if it works better once it's built back up in my system. The raspberry lemonade tastes pretty good so it's not horrible to drink. It does cause diarrhea so I try to take it with a salad for extra fibre.
i use the natural calm magnesium powder in the raspberry lemonade. I love the flavor. its nice and light. I find the natural flavor is supposed to have no taste but it does. its like a salty sour taste. i have been using this product for a few months now. i do find that it helps with keeping calm. its a very nice soothing drink. i would recommend to try. most heath food stores where this product is sold sell trial packs that you can try. awesome.
This magnesium supplement is taken dissolved in hot or cold water. It brings a very nice citrate flavour to the water and is refreshing to take!! Calms the mind :)
Warning: this stuff is powerful. You will need to go to bed after taking it. Which is great for someone like me who has horrible anxiety. Also great if you have issues with constipation (sorry if TMI), but it will make you GO! The only problem I have with this is for me at least, it almost gives me a hangover, in the sense that the effects last well into the next day. So you just feel really wiped. Also, it's not cheap, but it does last quite a long time, as I don't take it every night. I would recommend getting the unflavoured version. I put the powder in 1/4 cup of boiled water and then put cold orange juice and ice in the rest, and drink it quickly. I tried the lemon flavour one and it was overpowering and tasted like Neocitran, which if you like, great, I do not! Overall, if you have anxiety that can get really bad at night, give this a try.
I just began using this product last month, my ND recommended I try it to help ease off headaches related to my cycle. The jury is still out on that as I need about a 3 month trial to see if that is successful. But I am impressed on how effective it is in helping me relax and settle before bed. I was sceptical when I saw the word CALM on the label but it really does live up to that description. I mix it with a little hot water and orange juice and it tastes fine, not a challenge to get down at all. I will continue to use this product as I can already see the health benefits to it. My ND did tell me to only use this product for 2 weeks at a time in order to experience the maximum effectiveness. I think this is a product that I will propose to my friends who are overwhelmed by their busy lifestyle and need help relaxing to prepare for sleep.
