Whole Food Magnesium Powder, Mixed Berry

Magnesium supplements can be found in both powder and capsule forms. It is largely up to you based on your preference whether you choose a powder or capsule form. Many people prefer powders due to their convenience and ability to be mixed into drinks. Additionally, there is evidence that magnesium powder will be better absorbed by your body than in a capsule form. That is because when you add water to the magnesium powder, you are ionizing it, which is what is happening when you see it fizzing. Ionizing the magnesium makes it more bioavailable and fast-acting for your body. When you take magnesium in a capsule form, you will need your stomach acid to ionize it instead of having it already ionized in a mixed drink.

The form of magnesium used in this supplement is magnesium citrate, one of the most absorbable forms of magnesium along with magnesium glycinate, magnesium carbonate, magnesium matate, and magnesium taurate. Magnesium citrate is a form of magnesium bound with citric acid, which is naturally found in citrus fruits. You cannot take magnesium by itself - it needs to be bounded to a substance in order for it to be absorbed and dissolve in liquids.

Most people don't experience side effects when taking magnesium supplements. However, some people may experience minor side effects such as diarrhea, nausea, and stomach cramps. If this happens to you, try reducing the dose you're taking and/or taking magnesium with food rather than on an empty stomach. Consult a doctor if you need additional advice on how to take magnesium.

This can vary from person to person! Many will feel the relaxation effects almost immediately while it may take others a few hours to feel the effects. While the relaxation effects may be more noticeable in the near term, the longer term benefits of magnesium as it pertains to brain health, for example, can take longer to experience. We recommend consistent use over a few months to see the best results.
