Brand Story By NOW Foods Review: Its really helping me - I don't tend to write a lot of reviews, but I feel strongly enough about this one to take the time. I have worked hard to take care of myself, but often don't feel the way I think I should. I have a history of migraines the past 4 years, allergies and I have always felt difficulty with breathing during intense exercise but now have confirmed asthma as a diagnosis. I have had issues with muscle tightness, muscle cramps, occasional restless leg syndrome, and have always had quite a bit of anxiousness or anxiety. If things didn't go perfect, I would start panicking. If someone did something wrong or that I didn't like, on the outside I would be angry but inside totally enraged, even if it wasn't necessarily a large matter. I have been a competitive athlete and I had plenty of matches where I had disappointing losses against weaker players, or close matches that I lost, or even matches where I had multiple match points and couldn't pull through, all either being due to anxiousness before or during the match, or difficulty breathing, or the lack of ability to keep calm and concentrate. I think this over time has contributed to a much more negative disposition, a viscous cycle. Lately since I have made some diet changes which include stopping the consumption of sugar, I have been somewhat calmer and lost weight but I have also had constipation issues for some reason. I generally find my energy levels to be low, a nap during the day has never been difficult or unwelcome. I read about magnesium a couple years ago and I kept reading articles saying that trans-dermal was the best way to absorb magnesium quickly. I tried a magnesium that is supposed to absorb well through the skin, and I could never say I felt better, and it was uncomfortable spraying a cold spray and it would be slimy on, itchy as it dried and then sticky after drying. It was ineffective and inconvenient. I recently read again in looking for a "natural cure for asthma" about magnesium. I read it helped with asthma, which led me to read more again. I decided to try an oral form of magnesium. I pretty much only go for NOW products for supplements, and have bought quite a few different supplements over time. I find NOW products to be of very high quality for the price, which is usually also the lowest. I think this product is a great price, particularly in the powder form. The taste is minimally sour, really no big deal. I have only had it for about a week now, so it is still early, and my understanding is a magnesium deficiency takes time to bring up. For the asthma, I am taking a prescription now to control it so I don't know how it is with just magnesium, but I can't imagine it could hurt. I am still somewhat constipated unless I decide to take a bit too much magnesium, then that's no problem. Mentally I am finding myself more calm in stressful situations, and if I don't do well at something, I am not nearly as distraught, and if anything I come out of it feeling more determined to do better next time. Things that go wrong are not bothering me the same way either. Its hard to believe, because I feel I am just handling it better because its not as big of a deal as the other times, but really even the small things were a big deal to me before. My muscles feel so much calmer. As I type this, I feel a pleasant tingle in my lower legs and have felt it for a few days despite having done some really hard physical training. In the past I would be really sore and achy right now. My energy levels are still not great, and I don't find the magnesium helping me sleep better (I have always generally slept pretty well, but have found it maybe even more difficult getting to sleep late at night than before). I do feel better waking up than I used to though. There are a number of positive reviews on here about this product, enough to help anyone looking for information to decide, but I sometimes wonder if those reviews are real or not, and I think that for many products I use that I don't necessarily feel a lot of benefits from, I should write something thorough and real about a product that I think is helping me more than any other supplement I have tried with regards to a general feeling of well being. For $6 for a 6 month supply, I don't think you can go wrong with this one. Review: Great for kid's digestion/constipation trouble - Works absolutely amazing for my preschool daughter's constipation/digestion issues. Easily mixes into juice and she doesn't notice the flavor at all.

Easily mixes into juice and she doesn't notice the flavor at all. Would highly recommend! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mystery Solved *by J***Y on September 6, 2018* I emailed NOW to find out what was up with this obviously different mag. citrate formula and got an answer, sent Wednesday, September 05, 2018, which I will share verbatim with you: "In the spring of 2017 we changed to a more fully reacted magnesium citrate (anhydrous form). This is better absorbed but, the taste is less tart due to containing less free citric acid, as this new version is tightly molecularly bound to the magnesium. The original formula contained more free magnesium oxide which was unbound to the citrate molecule. We could not in good conscience continue offering an inferior partially bound product as "magnesium citrate" when a better raw material source was available. Thank you, NOW Foods Product Info" Couple of things to add. - This is NOT sodium picosulfate as another reviewer theorized. That's a stimlant laxative, this is an osmotic laxative. This is gentler and safer. Osmotic laxatives work by increasing the amount of water secreted within the intestines resulting in softer stools. - I recommend searching for the article from Healthline entitled: "How to Use Magnesium Citrate for Constipation" if this is indeed what you are using this product for. - If you use magnesium for relaxation, and perhaps the citrate form gives you too much, shall we say, movement... I suggest magnesium glycinate. This is a great article:"Magnesium: Meet the Most Powerful Relaxation Mineral Available" by Dr. Hyman - I do not have an issue with this product clumping when I add 1/2 - 1 teaspoon to 6 - 8oz of warm water. - I do not have an issue with the taste since I added more water. It has virtually no taste now. - I like the Bulk Supplements brand of mag citrate as well, but I have to use more of it, it is very sandy and it's not as effective for me as this brand. In conclusion. A lot of us long time fans of this product were freaked out by the change in formula. The taste and clumping made us all think something was wrong. Can't understand why NOW never responded to all the recent bad reviews and corrected the misinformation being propagated here, especially when reviews for the old formula were so positive, but whatever. Anyway, it's the same great product, even more effective in my opinion. NOW: I'm ready to receive my lifetime supply of Mag. Citrate for helping drive up your sales. ;-) ## Frequently Bought Together - NOW Foods Magnesium Citrate Powder 8 Ounces - NOW Supplements, Potassium Chloride Powder, Certified Non-GMO, Essential Mineral*, 8-Ounce --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/1777490-supplements-magnesium-citrate-pure-powder-enzyme-function-nervous-system-support](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/1777490-supplements-magnesium-citrate-pure-powder-enzyme-function-nervous-system-support) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
