Garden of Life Dr. Formulated Whole Food Magnesium Pulver

A drink rather than a capsule

This is a powder you mix into water and it fizzes, which changes how it fits into a routine. People who dislike swallowing capsules get on with it well. People who want something quick before bed sometimes find making a drink is one step too many.

350 mg of magnesium per serving, from a whole food source rather than an isolated salt, with three probiotic strains included.

Start with half

Half a serving for the first few days. 350 mg is a decent amount of magnesium and going straight to a full dose is how people discover magnesium's laxative effect the hard way.

Build up once you know how you respond. Some people are fine at a full serving from day one, others aren't.

Taste

It's flavoured and fizzy, which covers the mineral taste better than an unflavoured powder would. Mixing it in a larger glass rather than a small one makes it milder if you find it strong.

When to drink it

Evening suits most people, since magnesium fits naturally into winding down. There's no rule about it though, and if mornings work better for your routine that's fine.

Check with your doctor if you're pregnant, nursing, taking medication or managing a health condition, and space magnesium apart from any medication, since it can affect absorption of some drugs.
