Review: This Is Wonderful Magnesium! - I want to set the record straight about this product because I see a lot of negative reviews predicated upon the flavor. First of all, not everything thats good for you is going to taste good. Thats just part of life. Second - this stuff really doesn't even taste that bad. In fact, Magnesium Chloride tastes worse. No magnesium product in powder form that you add to water tastes good folks, unless its mixed with a bunch of artificial flavorings - which you DON'T want. The only way to bypass the flavor is to take it in capsules, which in my opinion: is not only much more expensive than buying a in bulk powdered form, but not as effective. Magnesium seems to work best when its mixed and dissolved in liquid. I take a teaspoon of this in my coffee in the morning, and an additional teaspoon at night. I don't complain about the taste, because I know its good for me! Wouldn't you rather do whats best for your health, even if it is mildly uncomfortable? I know I would! We live in a society where we are driven by our tastes buds and not our bodies dire need for real nutrition. As a culture we often neglect health foods because of how our palate has been programmed for nothing but junk. This magnesium tastes strongly like the amino acid glycine in its isolated form. Aside from the strong glycine flavor which is very sweet, there is a very slight fishy smell and flavor. This smell and flavor is not an indicator that this is a bad or rancid product. This is just what pure magnesium bisglycinate tastes and smells like! I love this stuff and it makes me feel amazing and helps with my anxiety and memory. I actually enjoy the flavor! If you find that this powder clumps in your liquid, which it will, I recommend the following: Buy a battery powered handle coffee frother. Its a little device that whips coffee at a high velocity. This will allow you to stir not only magnesium properly into your liquid solution - but any other hard to stir herbal or supplement powders. I give this a 5 out of 5 stars. If you have a weak stomach, I can see how you would not like this. Personally, I come from the perspective of " If its good for me and will help me have a bigger life - who cares what it tastes like. " You can easily slam a teaspoon of this stuff down. Compared to other magnesium products this is not only incredibly cost effective ( under 10 bucks ) but it works wonderfully and I feel like this stuff absorbs much better than the magnesium oxides, citrates, carbonates, malates, etc. The only other form of magnesium that I find works as well is Food grade magnesium chloride. A+ Product. I love the NOW foods brand. They deliver quality products and low prices.
Review: Yes, Terrible Taste, but the BEST Mag on the Market! - 1. Albion (the real manufacturer of the core magnesium in this product) makes the most bioavailable form available! This is an excellent product! 2. There are other supplement companies that use Albion, BUT NOW Foods only adds citric acid! THAT’S IT! One ingredient!! I applaud and praise NOW Foods for that! Too many other companies add inactive ingredients that are super bad for gut health, like Silicon dioxide (silica), maltodextrin, microcrystalline cellulose, calcium laurate (probably the least offensive), etc.. All of these additives disrupt gut health and the microbiome in some way, shape or form. And SO MANY supplement companies use these fillers/anti-caking ingredients in their products! Don’t take my word for it! Google the ingredient + gut health for yourself! All of the ingredients I mentioned have newer research papers on their effects on the gut. 3. Most things that are truly healthy for you DON’T TASTE LIKE CANDY OR FAKE FRUIT JUICE! Too many people have been pampered by societal norms and the overconsumption of creature comforts! Please stop your complaining. This product tastes like magnesium, because it IS MAGNESIUM! Take it because it’s an essential mineral and your body/300 enzymatic functions will thank you!! NOW Foods, please, please, PLEASE don’t ever change this formula to appease the pampered princess people! If you want to make an additional formula for the complainers, feel free, but PLEASE don’t change this one! I relinquish my soapbox. ;-P

## Questions & Answers

**Q: is it non-buffered and chelated?**
A: I contacted Now company and they said it is 100% pure Mg bisglycinate, so it is not buffered with Mg oxide or other cheap forms of Mg that has very low bioavailability.

**Q: Why is this diluted with Citric Acid?**
A: The label indicates 250 mg of elemental magnesium from each teaspoon of magnesium bisglysinate. It also lists that it contains citric acid, which is a common excipient.  This could be for taste or to lower the PH when it gets to the stomach to help absorb the magnesium. I would not describe this as "diluting" the supplement, since the amount of magnesium is clearly indicated by weight.

**Q: Is this magnesium Bisglycinate the same as magnesium glycinate?**
A: Yes, it's the same.  Different names for the identical item (C4H8MgN2O4 - chemical formula). It's 14.1% magnesium by weight.

**Q: Can this be mixed with hot liquids too or just cold?**
A: Yes, but please be aware that a normal chemical reaction can occur when adding liquids to this powder that results in heat being produced, so adding to hot liquids could add more heat than intended.

### ⭐ Taste awful - compared to Thorne.
*by C***1 on November 30, 2025*

I don’t know what it is - but I ran out of my Thorne brand and got this as a backup. Thorne I can literally just drink it with water. This one though? The tiniest amount - no way I can even drink it. I even tried putting it in a small smoothie- which I don’t like drinking a smoothie before bed. It was SO strong, that it ruined the smoothie. I don’t know what it is - but like I said - the Thorne version was almost tasteless. This one was awful.
