Nutricost Magnesium Malate Powder (300g) - 420mg of Magnesium Per Serving - Non-GMO, Gluten Free

Used for homemade hydration mixture. Dissolves well.

I tried this product with a specific focus on energy boost without caffeine or other products that provide a jolt, then a crash. This provided me with an even, gentle feeling of increased energy (not a marathon-runner level) that supported a nice stroll around the community; my joints felt fine.

I use this in a recipe for homemade nutritious drink. Cost effective and dissolves no clumping.

What I like about this Magnesium Malate is that it dissolves well in water and has no other added ingredients. Good for calming affects.

I have tried many forms and taken magnesium nightly for several years, used for knocking the edge off migraine pain. Read recently that Magnesium malate was good for body aches and it did take away my all over perimenopausal fibromyalgia body aches, I was seriously shocked how much it helped. I prefer powders over pills because you can adjust dosage easily and they generally don't have additives and fillers like capsules typically do. We took this in a shot of water nightly. The taste is not great (certainly nothing extreme) but my husband found it awful so I switched to a flavored mix for him- I would buy this again though. Also note malate can cause a GI response so we started at ¼ dose and built up to full dose over several weeks and everything was fine. And I'm not an expert but googled how much elemental magnesium is in 1000mg of magnesium malate and it stated approx 115mg, which means 4g would equal about 460mg elemental magnesium, pretty much double of what is listed for serving size.

This is a product that is golden if you wake up with a leg cramp in the middle of the night. If you get them occasionally then you know how painful they can be. I take a slightly rounded teaspoon in a glass of water and pound it down. Can't say that it's tasty with water. It's slightly chalky but the flavor itself is close to neutral. I mix it into my protein smoothie and if I drink that then I usually don't get cramps. When I forget, that's when the cramps show up at night. Fun, fun, fun (not really). Anyway, it takes care of the cramp very quickly for me as I use it noted above. Your mileage may vary. Also noted that this does not bother my GI track in the least bit. Recommended.

I bought this to use to make LMNT at home using the recipe on their site. Straightforward, good quality product.

Wow… maybe I have been severely deficient I magnesium and potassium for years… because I took one provided scoop of this supplement along with another brand of potassium mixed into my morning coffee for just a few days in a row and suddenly one morning I woke up BEFORE my alarm, energetic, enthusiastic, and in a fabulous mood. That has not happened in DECADES for me. Regular electrolyte drinks didn’t help much and had too much sugar. I guess they just had micro doses of what I needed, and not near enough. It has stayed that way for multiple days in a row now. If the high goes away, I will update this review. But this had miraculous levels of effect on me. Less muscle soreness and cramping, more energy, and I am very grateful for this HUGE life change.
