Natural Magnesium Powder 150g from Lifestream, Supports Muscle and Nerve Function, Easily Absorbed, Sleep Aid, 350mg Per Serving, Vegan, Pure Sustainable Marine Source, Magnesium Hydroxide

The RDI for magnesium for adults (if you value such calculations by professional nutritionists) is 310-420mg, which is actually difficult to obtain from food unless you eat plenty of fresh spinach, organic grains and nuts. The main symptoms of Mg deficiency are chronic fatigue and loss of concentration, particularly feeling ‘mentally tired.’Lifestream ‘natural magnesium’ is extracted from seawater by filtration and heat drying, resulting in concentrated elemental magnesium with no added preservatives. Having no colouring or added flavourings, the substance is tasteless and provides the RDI in about 1/3 teaspoon dose mixed in water, so what you swallow is actually magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2), easily absorbed by the GI tract.The only cautions are in patients with hepatic or renal failure, or some chronic lower GI pathologies; otherwise Mg even in large doses can do no harm, so medical supervision is not needed. It’s easy to know when you’re overdosing on Mg: the only symptom you’ll experience is loose bowel movements, which can be moderated by drinking plenty of ater with the Mg dose.

I have been using this to replace Milk of Magnesia which has disappeared off the market with no reason why, so I use it for a digestive condition not so much for the sleep benefits. It works great as a bowl regulator but is best put into a class of juice or squash of choice as it is a little like drinking chalk otherwise that said I have drunk it plain and its not going to kill you I have had to take worse things.

I bought this product as I'm dealing some complex health issues, including constipation and leaky gut and I do not want to take gut irritating laxatives. Of all the magnesiums I have experimented with to get the gut moving, this one is the best by a mile. I cannot state how much relief it brings. As a constipation aid I give this 5 stars. However, I only need to take 1/4 tsp daily to move things: getting near the suggested dose of 2/3rds tsp gives me diarrhoea. So I would not recommend it as your primary magnesium source.The best way to up your magnesium is transdermally, via baths/foot baths with MgCl salt, or creams/oils with MgCl. The next best way is orally via mineral drops, then with magnesium malate and glycinate. I am following the Root Cause Protocol which has a big stress on getting sufficient magnesium.

Well it definitely seems to work and gets absorbed by my body -- I get the urge to visit the bathroom ~2 hours after consuming consistently. Magnesium has a laxative effect in large quantities, so I probably need to calibrate the dose I'm taking as I probably already get quite a bit from diet and just need to take a tiny amount of this to reach the RDI.

Good service, arrived quickly, but the flavour and texture were not for me.

I actually started taking this and another magnesium to help with migraines, which works well.If you increase the dose it acts as a great laxative to clear the system out, without any cramps of pain.It’s really helped with digestive issues I’ve suffered with for years

I mix a teaspoon or so with sparkling water and drink it on regular basis to increase my magnesium intake. As I take it with acerola powder and water, I don't really taste.I have definitely noticed a difference when I wasn't using it, felt more tired and had more aches so now back to using it daily.

Great for sleeping aid, becareful with dose though as i found out the hard way, half a teaspoon can give you the runs 🤣

Keep up the quality of your product.. please do NOT dilute the quality. Worked better than most known and expensive brands for me. So far (1 week) holding well for my highly sensitive child in dire need for magnesium.

I first picked this up in London. It is something I've used for two years. Natural Vitality's Natural Calm, it's a good US alternative. You can have it shipped over though. I would say I prefer this one even though it's harder to find.

I am pleased with this product. It came well packaged and right on time. I would definitely buy it again.
