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

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.

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 great. Be careful with how much you take - don’t overdo it. I highly recommend a read of the NHS page on magnesium. Make sure you get enough calcium in your diet if you take magnesium! If you consume dairy then this should be easy. I’ve used pretty much every form of magnesium, on and off for several years. My area of study is also in the health sciences. Mg Glycinate/Bisglycinate are considered the ideal forms for an optimal balance of absorption (bioavailability), muscle relaxation and minimisation of side effects (specifically with bowel movements). If you are looking for anxiety reduction and already 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 easily crosses the blood-brain-barrier (BBB). I wouldn’t expect magic from either, and L-threonate is quite pricey. Physically, glycinate is much more relaxing and sedating in my experience. That said, it is hard to get enough magnesium in your diet, it’s becoming rarer in plants, and RDAs (recommended daily intake) for micronutrients are on the lower side. It’s 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.

Edit: lost a star as I've almost run out and I only started using this 80 days ago using the lowest dose (the tiny 2.5mm spoon) daily - it's supposed to have 166 servings of this size and I've only got half that!! Five stars for the product, even though this stuff basically tastes like ammonia - I have tried many things to make it palatable and finally hit upon adding a vitamin C effervescent tablet, and using just half an espresso cup of water. Since using this product over the past couple of months my sleep has improved from 4-5 hours of very broken sleep a night to a consistent 6 hours a night and in the last week or so I've actually had a few 7 hour sleeps! I just use the small end of the spoon provided half an hour or so before bed.

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.

Arrived in timely manner. I must say that I do not look forward to drinking it in the morning. It takes some psychological strength to actually go through with it. For that reason, I will not buy it again as I don’t even know if it’s better than the tablets I used to take. Not worth the trouble I would say.

Unpalatable Bitter Not able to mask the horrible taste

Do not believe negatives just because of the taste. As julie andrews once sang……

Arrive in time and in full

È vero che il sapore è terribile, ma dopo una settimana ci si abitua. Ma qualità e purezza indiscutibile.

Tried the magnesium bisglycinate two evenings ago for sleep. It definitely seems to help me fall asleep faster. Thanks for the excellent product.

Schmeckt furchtbar, aber wenn’s hilft…. am besten gleich was zum nachspülen bereitstellen… 😬 Praktisch finde ich den beigefügten Messlöffel (im Container wühlen, weißer Löffel in weißem Pulver). Der in meiner Dose hat auch genau die richtigen Mengenangaben. Nachtrag: Nach einer Woche habe ich das Zeug entsorgt, es ist einfach widerlich. 🤢 Ich denke, das ist naturbedingt so und der Grund, warum es meist in Kapseln daher kommt. Ich wollte nicht noch mehr Kapseln schlucken und hatte gehofft, in Wasser aufgelöst ist es einfacher… ist es aber nicht 😕 Ich hab jetzt wieder Kapseln bestellt.

This product helps me relax and sleep a lot better at night. I made the mistake of trying it during the day and almost fell asleep in my daughter’s speech therapy session. Getting past the taste and worse aftertaste takes some willpower. It has a strong putrid taste to it with a sickening sweet undertone. I’ve tried it with different drinks to try and cover it up, but nothing works. I will finished the product and look into tablets or capsules instead. It does work very well in aiding sleep and helps with my restless legs so it’s worth the money.

Il prodotto è eccellente sotto il profilo del suo effetto di regolazione sul transito intestinale ma ha un sapore perfido che lo rende del tutto inadatto ad essere assunto direttamente. Ho risolto totalmente il problema usando delle capsule ad uso alimentare che contengono la preparazione e permettono di poterla ingerire senza avvertire il suo sapore di pesce marcio. Non ho percepito alcun effetto sulla qualità del sonno ma preciso di utilizzare una dose molto bassa del rimedio
