Natural Vitality Calm, Magnesium Supplement, Anti-Stress Drink Mix Powder, Gluten Free, Vegan, & Non-GMO, Original Unflavored, 16 oz

I’ve been using Natural Vitality CALM magnesium powder for a while now, and it’s become a regular part of my nighttime routine. I usually mix it with warm water about an hour before bed, and it helps me unwind and settle in for the night. The taste is actually really pleasant—light and slightly fizzy, with a nice raspberry-lemon flavor that doesn’t feel artificial or overpowering. What I really like is that it helps with both relaxation and regularity, so it’s pulling double duty in the best way possible. I’ve noticed a difference in how easily I fall asleep and stay asleep, especially on nights when my mind would normally be racing. It also helps keep things consistent in the digestive department without being harsh. The powder makes it easy to adjust the dose if needed, and it blends well with no gritty texture. For anyone looking to wind down and support magnesium levels, this stuff is a great pick.

Long review alert w/positive updates!! My autistic preschooler is almost 4 and was diagnosed with encopresis due to withholding. He’s chronically constipated because he’s scared to poop, so his doctor recommended Miralax. We tried it for awhile, but all it did was make his stool very watery, smelly, and he leaked even more. I joined support groups online, and so many parents and doctors recommended Calm. Seeing as he’s very picky, I went with the unflavored formula.We haven’t done a full clean out using this stuff yet, but I know it’s possible to do it with Calm instead of Miralax. He’s currently getting 3-5x/his weight in milligrams of Calm, along with 1-2 squares of Exlax chocolates in the evenings. He’s finally going normally!!! He told me it’s easier to go and not as scary. He’s had ZERO accidents like he did with a capful of Miralax a night, and no panic attacks when he feels the urge to push.I give it to him in the evening. I haven’t noticed as many huge meltdowns during the day since starting it, which is awesome. He’s also sleeping better and having less nightmares. He’s still having growing pains, so I use magnesium oil on his feet at night.MAKE SURE TO READ THE DIRECTIONS!! It has to be mixed with warm water in order to fizz up and become magnesium citrate. I had to increase his dose to 5x his weight (he gets a full teaspoon now), but he said his milk tasted sour. Now I do half at night, half in the morning. Same positive results.I highly recommend it if your kiddo has encopresis. Hope this helps! ☺️UPDATE: We just did a 4 day clean out using PediaLax liquid softener & exlax for the first couple days, then Calm & Exlax. It worked wonders!!! He’s on a maintenance dose of calm now, and pooping regularly.UPDATE #2: here’s a side effect I wasn’t aware of: Hair growth! My son has been taking this for about 2 months now. His barber noticed a dramatic change in his hair. It’s thicker & grew in faster. She said it’s the magnesium! His nails are also growing quicker. I just started taking the adult dose about 3 weeks ago in hopes it helps my thinning hair. I’m not noticing much relief as far as constipation goes, but I’m way less moody and sleeping better. I mix two tsp in warm water (about 8 oz) then add ice cubes & it tastes like lemon water. This stuff is magic. ✨

I've struggled with anxiety issues throughout life, and I'm now a 21 year old adult male and I found this product to work like no other.. It's a powder you put in a drink, works best with hot water, and it really helps chill me out. I get the unflavored stuff, which already has a slight citrus tang to it, but there are many flavors as well and I've tried a few. Goes good with stuff like tea, honey and apple cider vinegar, I add chia seeds to it as well sometimes. I'd highly recommend as it is a magnesium supplement that apparently has high absorption and from my experience I can truly FEEL.. Within minutes too! :) I've taken other forms of Magnesium, like Magnesium oxide in pill form, and didn't notice any effects, this however, really works. This is honestly, easily the most noticeably effective supplement I've ever taken.. I bought a 16oz about three months ago, and I've taken it every night, save for less than five nights I might've skipped over the months, and I just restocked because I'm just now running low. Admittedly, I due take a smaller dose than recommended but that just goes to show how great this stuff is.. A half dose or so before bed every night, does wonders. There are many factors in life, but since I started taking this, I don't really have anxiety attacks, I don't really freak out, I just roll with my life, even when it gets hard. It's not that I don't care about stressors, I just don't freak out so much when they come up. It's like this supplement has helped inject reason and realism into me when I reach a struggle, and thus it makes those struggles less of a struggle. Like I mentioned earlier, I only take it once a day, before bed, and it seems to have lasting effects that help with brain function and anxiety levels, it's only the immediate effects that are strong enough to make me chill into a sleep, but overall I'd say it helps me become more of the functional human I'd like to be. I hope someone or many find this review helpful. :)

I was told by a friend I should start taking magnesium since I have been having trouble sleeping and staying asleep (was up multiple times a night). I’ve only been taking this a few days and I have definitely noticed the difference in sleep! I do agree with others though, the taste is not very pleasant but worth it for me so far.

Excellent Product!!!

Great product but the flavored ones are sweetened with stevia which is not good if you’re allergic to that or have ragweed / hay fever allergy. Please stop putting stevia in products. Otherwise the unflavored is a great product for sleep, nerves, constipation. It’s fizzy when mixed. Best mixed with water before adding to something else. I mix mine with ginger honey crystals.

Great product...been taking for 8 years

When I take Magnesium CALM before bed I sleep very well and wake up feeling rested and energised.
