NOW FoodsSupplements, Magnesium Oxide, Enzyme Function*, Nervous System Support*, 8-Ounce

I bought this for my daughter who cannot swallow pills. The taste is much better than magnesium chloride drops, and more convenient than CALM (magnesium citrate). I sprinkle on her yogurt, or Kefir. Putting on top of thick Kefir prevents it from sinking down and stick to the bottom of glass like with juice. I also sprinkle on top of whipped cream & strawberries for her. It becomes slightly bitter if you leave it out too long. If you take it immediately with food, it's neutral in taste. I have stomach upset & diarrhea with Nature Made magnesium tablets (with magnesium stearate & other additives), but this pure magnesium oxide doesn't upset my tummy nor cause explosive diarrhea. It helps me to be sleepy immediately. We soaked a magnesium citrate capsule in vinegar and that took hours to dissolve, versus this powder which works immediately. Very effective for the tiny amount used, I sleep better with this product than with other forms of magnesium (capsules, Mg citrate, and Mg chloride). What I like the most is it doesn't cause excessive gas & diarrhea like other magnesiums that I tried.

It works very well as a gentle laxative!Senna tea, milk of magnesia, and other laxatives have me sweating, running to the toilet, and wishing it would all end while I regret my life choices. Come on, we’ve all taken way more than the “recommended dose” because we wanted quicker relief… but at what cost?Well, I can happily say, not this one. This one is so nice to me.It’s much more gentle and just as effective without the pain and suffering.I take a tsp mixed with cold/room temp water. It dissolves very easy. A little confused by the comments stating otherwise?Also, this is A LOT of magnesium oxide powder. I don’t see any reason you would ever need to buy this again.I bought this to help with phase 1 of Dr. Bakker’s Candida Crusher protocol. Not because of constipation. I’m trying to reset my gut, and kill those nasty buggers proliferating in my tummy!I take a heaping tsp with water on an empty stomach either in the morning, or at night before bed. And boy howdy, it works like a charm!

My 10yo daughter has had constipation for about quite a few years. Doctors put her on Miralax. She eats lots of fruits and veggies but still has the issue. After 2 years, we decided to make a change. We've tried Metamucil (made it worse), prunes (worked but the taste was too much for her), and magnesium citrate (worked only briefly but made her too sleepy due to better absorption). We then found out that magnesium oxide has poorer absorption thus does not create too much calming effect and stays in the gut to help generate that desired laxative effect instead. I also noticed that she was overly skinny when she was on Miralax and low in energy. After switching to MgO, her body has gained some healthy amount of weight and energy level is better.We use a sifter to sift slightly over 1/4 tsp of MgO powder to make it less grainy, and dilute it into some oat milk. She then drinks it with a straw while stirring to prevent it from settling onto the bottom. She gets one dose every other day and this keeps her regular. She's been on it for around a year and it's been working great! We told the pediatrician and she was happy with it. We are just so glad that she no longer needs Miralax!

This stuff is so relaxing. It helps me sleep at night. The quality is also really good. I don’t react to it.

Buen magnesio.

Should have paid closer attention. These are tablets and they are huge. I mean to order capsules.

Me ayuda a descansar mejor y a mejorar para ir al baño.. la mejor hora para tomarlo 6 pm. Pero debe ser con disciplina

You can get more out of a serving of this powder than any other otc supplement but it tastes like Fill In The Blank
