Magnesium glycinate as Magnesium bisglycinate | 0.55 lb – 250 g | Crystal Powder Soluble in Water | Third-Party Tested | Heiltropfen®

7 or so months on: Excellent product I’ve used almost daily. So helpful for my sleep, which is better than ever, less stressed. Feel great. Be careful with how much you take - don’t overdo it. I highly recommend a read of the NHS page on magnesium. Make sure you get enough calcium in your diet if you take magnesium! If you consume dairy then this should be easy. I’ve used pretty much every form of magnesium, on and off for several years. My area of study is also in the health sciences. Mg Glycinate/Bisglycinate are considered the ideal forms for an optimal balance of absorption (bioavailability), muscle relaxation and minimisation of side effects (specifically with bowel movements). If you are looking for anxiety reduction and already get enough magnesium in your diet, then this probably won’t be your silver bullet. Mg L-Threonate, AKA Magtein, is the only form of Mg that easily crosses the blood-brain-barrier (BBB). I wouldn’t expect magic from either, and L-threonate is quite pricey. Physically, glycinate is much more relaxing and sedating in my experience. That said, it is hard to get enough magnesium in your diet, it’s becoming rarer in plants, and RDAs (recommended daily intake) for micronutrients are on the lower side. It’s easy to know if you’re getting too much magnesium- you will have loose stools as your body attempts to expel it. There’s a sweet spot. Listen to your body. My overall thoughts: Excellent, well-designed and compact tub. Decent value for money. I’m only approx 10 days into using this, please do keep in mind that sample size of 1 is not something to go by. It tastes just like magnesium (bit gross if not diluted enough). 500ml water minimum to not taste with the 2.5 small scoop. I mix a small scoop in my water bottle 1-2h before bed. I am quite active and therefore sweat a lot. I would easily say that I feel better overall. My body seems to recover much quicker after workouts when I use this. I know already though that I’ve been deficient in magnesium recently, and that getting enough with my level of fluid loss would be a pain. So I am glad I reincorporated it. I’ll be sticking to this brand unless there’s a drastic price increase. All in all very happy. If anything changes I will update this review.

I read about Magnesium and this product really does work. I have had insomnia all my life, but using only a tiny bit of this powder really relaxes me and helps me sleep. As the taste is not that pleasant, I have a tiny bit of Diet Coke with it. Then I have more Diet Coke to get rid of the taste, and then there is no more aftertaste.

I bought the powder as the tablets tend to be huge and I have a problem swallowing them. However, I can't believe our truly vile this tastes. It has a strong acrid taste with an almost coal gas aftertaste. I don't normally post negative reviews as I believe any review is subjective, but in this case I honestly don't think anyone could disagree. Surely something could be added to make it more palatable. Too early to comment on its efficacy

Heiltropfen® Magnesium Glycinate powder delivers a pure, highly absorbable form of magnesium that dissolves completely in water and supports relaxation and muscle recovery with no digestive upset. The taste is decidedly unpleasant—bitter and metallic—so you’ll need to mix it into at least half a litre of liquid or mask it with a flavoured drink. The simple double-ended plastic scoop (2.5 ml/5 ml) does the job but feels flimsy, and it’s easy to grab the larger end by mistake. If you can handle the flavor and don’t mind a generous pour of water (or a mixer), this powder earns four stars for efficacy and quality.

Unpalatable Bitter Not able to mask the horrible taste

Doesn't cause stomach problems at all and tastes okay in water. I was very pleased with this purchase and would recommend to others . After 3 lots it's helped my anxiety , within 3 weeks my hair feel softer and the ache in my hip has totally vanished . I've had magnesium in different forms and took a glycinate version 8 yrs ago but this is definitely the best one for quality and price. Will be purchasing on a regular basis !

It's really clean, the taste is nit good , but I don't mind!

Why does it say 2.5ml measurement but only inc. a 5ml and a 1.25 ? But reads 2.5ml in centre?? Bit bizarre.... Otherwise seems fine.

Tried the magnesium bisglycinate two evenings ago for sleep. It definitely seems to help me fall asleep faster. Thanks for the excellent product.

Il prodotto è eccellente sotto il profilo del suo effetto di regolazione sul transito intestinale ma ha un sapore perfido che lo rende del tutto inadatto ad essere assunto direttamente. Ho risolto totalmente il problema usando delle capsule ad uso alimentare che contengono la preparazione e permettono di poterla ingerire senza avvertire il suo sapore di pesce marcio. Non ho percepito alcun effetto sulla qualità del sonno ma preciso di utilizzare una dose molto bassa del rimedio

Schmeckt furchtbar, aber wenn’s hilft…. am besten gleich was zum nachspülen bereitstellen… 😬 Praktisch finde ich den beigefügten Messlöffel (im Container wühlen, weißer Löffel in weißem Pulver). Der in meiner Dose hat auch genau die richtigen Mengenangaben. Nachtrag: Nach einer Woche habe ich das Zeug entsorgt, es ist einfach widerlich. 🤢 Ich denke, das ist naturbedingt so und der Grund, warum es meist in Kapseln daher kommt. Ich wollte nicht noch mehr Kapseln schlucken und hatte gehofft, in Wasser aufgelöst ist es einfacher… ist es aber nicht 😕 Ich hab jetzt wieder Kapseln bestellt.

This product helps me relax and sleep a lot better at night. I made the mistake of trying it during the day and almost fell asleep in my daughter’s speech therapy session. Getting past the taste and worse aftertaste takes some willpower. It has a strong putrid taste to it with a sickening sweet undertone. I’ve tried it with different drinks to try and cover it up, but nothing works. I will finished the product and look into tablets or capsules instead. It does work very well in aiding sleep and helps with my restless legs so it’s worth the money.

Lo uso da più di un anno ed è davvero efficace, sono Ridotti del 90% i crampi, Inoltre essendo in polvere il rapporto quantità prezzo è ottimo e non bisogna ingoiare tutte quelle capsule, il sapore non è granché ma ci si abitua, è un prodotto totalmente naturale
