Calm Magnesium Powder

Magnesium is a miracle mineral. And vital to your good health. From restful sleep, to no more leg cramps, to a more stable blood pressure and no more constipation, the results of its daily use, -every morning before breakfast- are nothing short of a wonder. And there are very compelling facts behind it: As per my GE, Magnesium CITRATE is the ONLY type of Magnesium that the body can FULLY assimilate, which is the type in THIS product specifically. Magnesium's importance has not been promoted enough within the medical community, and its importance as EQUALLY important as Calcium: A Magnesium reserve is hold by your heart in one of its chambers. Calcium contracts, Magnesium relaxes: Systole and Diastole. Do your research: From Constipation to energy metabolism, DNA replication, protein synthesis and detoxification, all rely on Magnesium. Muscle pain and tightness, weight gain -magnesium control the enzymes that controls digestion and absorption-, to unexplained fatigue, depression and anxiety, all are Magnesium deficiencies symptoms. With the highest amount of magnesium in your body concentrated in your heart, its deficiency may be behind your high or low blood pressure. According to NHS, Magnesium helps to turn the food we eat into energy, the production of hormones for bone health in the parathyroid glands, heart health and blood sugar control. Again as per NHS, It is estimated that 80% of Americans are Magnesium deficient. And back to my GE doctor's : Only Magnesium Citrate is fully absorbed by the body. And very easy to know if you take too much: For a short time...Diarrhea. This product is great... The taste is pleasant, it dissolves quickly in warm water and you can easily learn the amount you need to take just based on the dosage that produces a perfect bowel movement.

Natural Vitality Calm Magnesium Powder has earned its place as a go-to evening ritual for anyone looking to wind down naturally after a long day. Formulated with highly absorbable magnesium carbonate that converts to ionic magnesium citrate when mixed with warm water, it works quickly to ease muscle tension and promote a quiet, settled mind. The fizzy reaction upon stirring creates a warm, soothing drink, while the raspberry lemon flavor balances a bright, tart acidity with subtle sweetness that tastes like a cozy herbal tonic rather than a chalky medicinal supplement. Incorporating this 16-ounce tub into a nightly routine is straightforward and fully customizable to your body's specific tolerance. Starting with a half-teaspoon in a small cup of hot water allows the powder to fully dissolve and effervesce before sipping, which you can gradually increase over time as needed. Being non-GMO, vegan, and gluten-free, it offers a clean, reliable way to address common dietary magnesium gaps, support healthy recovery, and smooth out evening stress without relying on heavy sleep aids or artificial additives.

Cures my anxiety so well and helps me sleep. Also has helped my blood pressure.

I just ordered a bunch more of this stuff from Amazon. I can't really rate the product based on my Amazon purchase but I can talk about the product itself as I've been using it daily for nearly a month now. It is widely available at most Vitamin shops and health food stores but you get much more for your money ordering it through Amazon. I caution everyone when ordering to make sure it is the non GMO kind. I've seen both (regular and non GMO) and it doesn't make sense to me why anyone would order a GMO laden vitamin supplement. But that is just me. Ok, on to the review of the product itself. It is awesome!! I initially purchased it because of the calming effects of the bowels. I suffer from horrible IBS and it has been affecting my quality of life for years. I've been on meds, supplements, special diets, etc etc for years to assist in relief. Much of my IBS is stress related on a subconscious level. Meaning I am stressed out about things but they're not in the forefront of my mind to be able to pinpoint what I'm worried about. Additionally I suffer from generalized anxiety disorder which makes me a worry wart about everything! It is truly miserable at times. For years I suffered with IBS-D (diarrhea dominant) but over the last year or so it has changed to C (constipation) dominant. With the change came even more bathroom troubles and hemmorhoids. Not fun stuff at all. The hemmorhoids are also a hereditary thing so I knew that at some point I'd get them plus having a traumatic stage 4 tear while birthing my son just did that much more damage. In any case, I knew if I didn't do something quickly to assist in this issue, I'd likely be looking at surgery to correct them. So I ordered a squatty potty which helped somewhat but it wasn't helping me to "go". I got to the point that I was drinking two bottles of the mega magnesium citrate a week to be able to go to the bathroom. Two days a week were dedicated to the toilet and that's it. How miserable is that?! I had tried every supplement and OTC med and homeopathic remedy that I could think of. Because I would get so backed up I had constant chest pressure which exacerbated my anxiety symptoms and I have ended up in the ER more than once for chest pain that ended up being trapped gas due to constipation. Something had to give. In one of my sessions of hell (in the bathroom) I became desperate and started googling my symptoms and was relieved (and shocked) that so many people suffered like I did. Not that I wanted others to suffer but because deep in my mind I thought I was suffering from some deadly disease of my guts that nobody could diagnose and one day I would be found dead on the toilet. Sounds dramatic but that's what I felt. In my search for answers I kept coming across magnesium as some sort of miracle cure. I scoffed at the idea initially because I'd tried it before for anxiety and had no luck with it AND it make my constipation worse. Then I started to wonder if maybe, just maybe, my body wasn't absorbing it properly because I had taken it in pill form. I kept seeing this "Natural Calm" being mentioned and thought about it. Honestly I came on Amazon and read the rave reviews but still held off on getting any because it has to be added to liquid and drank (and being super sensitive to taste, I didn't think it would do any good if I didn't use it because I couldn't handle the taste). Then one day I had an exceptionally bad "bathroom day" and decided that I didn't care what it tasted like and was desperate because otherwise I was just going to make up my will and let my stomach kill me. So I went to a local Vitamin shop and purchased a bottle. After purchasing it, I continued to read reviews and watching videos of testimonials and said "screw it" and made myself a cup. The first time I made it I got really freaked out at how much effervescence there was. It reminded me of alka seltzer (which I HATE) and was scared to drink it (I have a legit fear of vomiting). But it smelled good (raspberry lemon) so I just stirred it up until it was clear and proceeded to drink it. I didn't get sick from tasting it. I won't say it was delicious, but it definitely didn't taste bad. I drank the entire cup and within about 15 minutes I could physically feel a sense of "calmness" (honestly, I felt stoned). I went to bed shortly thereafter. When I woke up in the morning, I didn't feel groggy at all. I actually felt pretty good (and morning are usually difficult for me). I got about halfway through my cup of coffee and the bathroom was calling me. So I begrudgingly went expecting for it to be like every other day but much to my elation, I went very quickly and with less pain than normal. How exciting!! That night I drank another cup and had a morning like the previous one the next day. This was obviously working for my tummy so I kept at it. One night I got a panic attack (out of nowhere and for no reason). As I felt it building, I decided that I would reach for my Natural Calm instead of my Xanax. I will tell you right now that if you think this product will work like anxiety meds and that's why you want it, save your money because it won't. However it did take the edge off of the attack enough for me to use other techniques like deep breathing and acupressure to relieve panic symptoms. That was huge for me! I took a slightly higher amount than I had been taking (about a teaspoon) because I was trying to reduce anxiety symptoms. This in turn assisted in a much larger bowel movement the next morning. And I felt amazing! Fast forward to a month later (now). I have been taking this daily. Prior to starting this supplement my medication regimen in the morning consisted of the following: 4 Aleve (I've had three shoulder surgeries and have lots of stiffness and pain) 1 0.5mg Xanax 1 20mg Omeprazole 4 180mg Simethicone caps 4 stool stool softeners 2 TRC constipation pills 2 TRC IBS pills 1 probiotic Today I take: 1 Aleve 1/2 Xanax 1 Omeprazole 1 probiotic That is a 12 pill reduction in a month! This has helped my stomach as well as my joints and muscles. My anxiety has been assisted but I also think that a lot of my daily anxiety symptoms were due to all of the pressure in my stomach rising to my chest cavity. My hemmorhoids have also been drastically reduced and are nearly all healed at this point. I will never be without this product! Helpful tips: Drink a glass of water before drinking your cup of natural calm. Then drink one after. The magnesium needs a lot of water or it can dehydrate you. And if you're dehydrated it will not help your bowels. Start slowly. Figure out what works best for you. I started with a teaspoon at night. I now take two HEAPING teaspoons (or close to that. I eyeball it). Make sure to take it at least two hours after eating. This product needs stomach acid to properly work. If your body is working hard to digest food, it won't properly assist in the absorption of the magnesium (and if you have IBS or other stomach issues you shouldn't be eating within 2 hours of bed anyway). This is not a "cure all" and if you suffer from any sort of bowel dysfunction you need to also manage your diet. But when all else fails, this kicks it up. I rated 4/5 stars simply because I haven't noticed a significant reduction in my anxiety symptoms. Some, but not enough to say it works specifically for that. I've heard of others being able to go off of anxiety meds by replacing this with the medication. I am looking into doing that myself and should I be able to supplement this for the meds, I will update to 5/5. It is an amazing product though.

My husband and I have been taking this product for years, and we would not want to be without it. We take it every night in a glass of warm water before bed, and it not only relaxes us, but it also prevents us from getting leg cramps during the night!

I have tried a few different magnesium supplements, but nothing works half as well as this one. Plus, it’s powder which dissolves in a little water so that makes it very easy to swallow, unlike the tablet/capsule magnesium supplements. I usually have the Orange flavored one, but this raspberry lemon one is also pretty good with just the right amount of tartness in it.

I’ve always used calm as an alternative magnesium supplement, especially at night time when I can mix it with water to help with my muscles. When I found on Amazon that I could get 16 fluid ounces, I was excited. I also take a supplement during the day but at night time this works amazing, especially when you’re working out or if you have cramps during the night time. I highly recommend this supplement. You can mix it with water or juice but at night time I would recommend water in the morning. I would recommend juice. I chose raspberry lemon, but there’s other options..

I love this product, it helps me sleep and calm down in the evening. I got it also for my boyfriend, and he ended taking much more than the recommended dose which does lead to digestive distress. His friends did this too. Needless to say, if you stick to the proper dosage there will not be warzones for the toilet.
