5 star for efficacy 1 star for palatability
Haven’t had a single leg cramp or Charlie horse since taking this. Only reason why continuing taking this sup as it taste like rotten fish bones and doesn’t mix well, I’ve tried dry scooping but don’t recommend, but I’ve found mixing the powder dry with scoop of creatine helps mix.

Taste is Horrible! But a Solid Product in Comparison to Other Magnesium Supplements
I agree with everyone who complains how horrible this tastes. I disagree with the person who says it is "medicine" and not supposed to taste like candy. First, it is not medicine, it is a supplement. Second, I don't think anyone expected this to taste like candy. I have had many supplements that don't taste horrible. Anyway, to be able to drink this without gagging, I take ice water, add a little lemon juice and a good teaspoon of maple syrup, stir it up and then add a scoop of this powder and stir it up again. It is more palatable. I did try it in a cup of hot tea with agave, and it only made my tea taste disgusting. When I am done with this container, I am going to purchase one of the flavored ones. Yes, it is more expensive because they add flavoring, but I'm spending money on trying to mix it with something else anyway. As far as whether the magnesium helps me -- I started using this because of getting muscle cramps in my legs every night. It seems since I've started taking it, the leg cramps have almost stopped. I purchased the powder because the tablets are too big. Sometimes I can swallow the tablet, but sometimes I start gagging and then cannot swallow them at all. Also, don't be fooled by other brands that state their magnesium is 200 mg or 400 mg. You have to look at how many mg "as magnesium glycinate." This brand is clear on its label what you are actually getting!

You will want to use flavoring
I am trying magnesium, in its many forms, to improve my sleep. I personally have not found this to be ineffective, but given that I've tried multiple forms of MGC without result, it's probably something that just can't work for me. The issue is that the taste is truly foul. It's very bad - not quite undrinkable but punishing for certain. You can mask it with something like lemonade mix but I don't recommend taking it direct. Normally I'd dock a star for the taste, but it is unflavored and the manufacturer can't help the fact that unflavored MGC tastes like a chemical bath.

GREAT AND EFFECTIVE PRODUCT BUT THE UNFLAVORED 7.1 oz VERSION IS UNDRINKABLE, IN MY OPINION!
I had previously purchased the 12.7 oz. "PEACH" flavored container. I decided to try this product in the unflavored and accidentally ordered 2. NOTE; Amazon return policy prohibited me from returning 1 of the 7.1 unopened sealed products. Without the flavoring this product is undrinkable "in my opinion". It tastes like a pure chemical compound, and is very bitter in taste. My only solution to my non-returnable product + the first opened one is to order THE MIXED FRUIT OR PEACH FLAVORED IN THE 12.7 CONTAINER AND MIX IT WITH THE UNFLAVORED 7.1 ONE. THE PRODUCT BEING A POWDER WORKS THE MOST EFFECTIVE AND RESULTS ARE THE FASTEST. i HAVE A FULL JAR OF THE TABLETS FOR EMERGENCY USE. I LOVE THIS BRAND AS WELL AS THE POWDER - MY COMPLAINT IS THE HORRIBLE TASTE OF THE 7.1 oz. UNFLAVORED VERSION.

Taste: ideas to make it palatable
I researched every type of magnesium available currently on Amazon. This was the purest one with no added magnesium stearate and other fillers, or magnesium citrate which can affect mineral balance in the body according to the Magnesium Advocacy Group (gotmag.org). Of course I proceeded to read the reviews and pretty much every review mentioned the bad taste of this product. Instead of being deterred I became curious to see how this product can really be that bad. Before this we were taking the Kal Activgels which I opened for the kids (as prescribed by their doctor) and which tasted so good that the kids enjoyed taking it. When I opened the can I first took a pinch and put it straight in my mouth to see exactly what the fuss is all about. The first thing I noticed was it tasted very alkaline. After a second, as I analyzed what the taste was, I realized it tasted a lot like baking soda, not rotting fish guts or anything else related to fish like some had mentioned. So if you are unsure whether to buy this or not, taste a little baking soda and see if you can tolerate the taste. I don’t think it’s bad at all. No, it’s not full of sugars and flavors. It’s a mineral. It’s medicine. It’s not supposed to taste like candy. Thank you Doctor’s Best for continuing to make a clean product despite the complaints. Please keep it pure. Next came the kids challenge. If so many adults report not being able to tolerate it, surely a 4 and 7 year old won’t touch it, right? I mixed their prescribed amount into a glass of Amazing Grass Green Superfood berry flavor mixed with water. It’s not sweet, just has a slight berry flavor. They both drank it down without a fight. I asked the 7 year old what he thought. He said “eh, not too bad I guess, it kind of tastes like seaweed, maybe seafood, like mussels, it’s not too good but it’s ok”. I also tasted it in that combination and my first thought was a slight seaweed flavor. It bad at all. Now I’m curious how my body handles it. My old glycinate was not being absorbed properly. I’m hoping this one will.

Ummm, it’s okay.
The unflavored one taste disgusting. I hate the taste. It’s bitter, I put it in apple juice and get it down quickly. I do recommend because it’s not as expensive, but it does help me sleep deeply. It’s a very fine powder, and doesn’t mix super well in cold juice. I’m going to try to use warm water to see if that’ll help it dissolve. The only reason I’m giving a 3/5 is because of taste and how fine the powder is, I feel like I’m wasting some because it’s so light. I also want to add, I accidentally got the flavorless one. The peach is much better!

This Product Works for Me - Yay!
This product, in the unflavored version, works for me. The taste, is not as awful as I've read here but that's just me. I've had worse. The primary reason for the purchase is to help relieve leg and foot cramps at night and for possible migraine suppression. My leg cramps have subsided to almost none and I've not had a migraine but I don't get migraines everyday anyway, so time will tell. I would recommend this product primarily because there are no additives and that is important to me and I imagine would be important to anyone who is sensitive to additives. Too, I've not suffered any "intestinal issues" that other forms of magnesium supplements can cause.

The flavor is a little unusual, but it gets the job done. Helps me relax and wind down, and I’ve definitely noticed the benefits. Not the tastiest thing I’ve tried, but worth it for how well it works.

Pure and clean;
This is a very good source of magnesium ,pure ,clean with no additives or capsule shells.It helps with relaxation and sleep .The only downside is the taste which is expected as this is not a flavored magnesium,this is pure original taste.Personally I don’t mind the taste ,I drink it down and forget about the taste .one has the option to add it to juices if you wish ,but then there are many other brands with flavored options.

الطعم أكبر عائق
رغم ان المنتج كويس ولو تلاحظوا كمية الماغنيسيوم المثالية لكل جرعة، وتقارنوها بالكبسولات، فهذا المكمل يفوز بالتوفير والكمية، لكن اكبر مشكلة واجهتني هي الطعم والشعور بعد البلع، اذا تقدر تتحمل الطعم فأنت محظوظ، انا لم اتقبل لا الطعم ولا الشعور بعد البلع اللي يجي فالحلق. نصيحتي جمع شوية واشتري الكبسولات، صحيح اقل فائدة وأقل كمية وتحتوي مكونات إضافية زايدة، لكن الصراحة الطعم عائق كبير
