Good cal-mag, and it's in powdered form
Calcium-magnesium supplements are nothing new to me, I've been taking them for about 40 years now. Even though my diet is high in both calcium and magnesium (unlike the grain and meat diet that is standard fare and a nutritional disaster), I like the insurance of knowing I have this covered.Calcium is important for far more than bone health, and cow's milk is actually a poor source of this mineral. Standard cow's milk is an excellent source of pus oozed from infected mammary glands, a powerful neurotoxin known as glyphosate, and antibiotics that negatively affect your gut fauna. If you want those "benefits", drink the milk. But don't think that milk is helping you get your calcium.Magnesium is important for many bodily functions, though many people believe its main purpose is to level out your moods. You don't want a deficiency of magnesium for a long list of reasons.While dark green vegetables like kale (and other cabbages such as bok choy), spinach, and broccoli provide generous amounts of calcium and magnesium in the correct proportions, that's true only if they are grown in good soil. Supplementing is wise.This is the first time I have seen a powder-based cal-mag supplement. Atypical of powders, this one has no petrochemical flavorings, nor is it contaminated with that highly addictive drug we call sugar.The label says "Unflavored (plain)", but this is flavored with citric acid. I'm not sure if that's manufactured or natural, but I'm also not sure whether there is any difference between the two. As someone who eats far more than the FDA-recommended servings of fruit each day, I find this taste to be most agreeable.The typical cal-mag supplement is a large capsule that I find difficult to swallow without a huge gulp of water. They don't make small capsules (in my experience) because a big one means the label can have a larger IU per capsule (somehow, that matters to people--I can't explain it).The fact this is a powder opens new possibilities. I simply add some to one of the shakes I have (on training days, 3 shakes; on my one weekly rest day, two shakes). The shakes include an amino complex, creatine, and about half a dozen other ingredients. Adding this boosts my calcium and magnesium intake and adds a bit of citrus taste to that shake.

Part of my nightly regimen to help with sleep issues
Calcium and magnesium supplements have become a staple for me as part of my nightly regimen to help with persistent sleep issues. While in and of itself it is not entirely effective to help me fall asleep, I have found better success combining this with another sleep product containing a mixture of other ingredients (hemp oil, melatonin and theanine). I have found that combining these two products has been very helpful in helping me to fall asleep and stay asleep. This particular product is unflavored which makes it somewhat unpalatable, so I mix it with a similar product that has a raspberry lemon flavor and it goes down much better. The 16 ounce bottle was only 3/4 full but I have found that all my similar products in 16 ounce bottles are exactly the same. I don't doubt that there is a full 16 ounces in them, perhaps there is some settling that occurs. However, if the goal is to make consumers think they are getting more for their money, it is a lost effort on me. Multiply the extra amount of plastic that goes into making the containers by the total number produced in a year, and it seems like an unnecessary amount of plastic going into our landfills every year (although I assiduously steam off the labels and place all of mine in the recycle bins). Having said all that, I will continue to use this product, and it is offered at a fair price point, so overall I am very satisfied.I hope you found this review helpful.

Slept Like a Baby
Well, not exactly like a baby. I didn't wake up every three hours needing to be changed. However, I did sleep very well last night after using this cal/mag product. Very similar results to the product I normally use a few nights every week.The flavor is bland, but not overly chalky and not really unpleasant.The price is better than the product I've been using for the past ten years and that doesn't hurt my feelings at all. made in the USofA, and that works for me since China has been shown to have very lax procedures and regulatory oversight of consumables production. I hope this info has been at least somewhat helpful.

This product has made a world of difference in my sleep
I take this mag/cal product every single evening. Using it regularly has really made a difference in my sleep, mostly because it that fidgety muscle feeling. I feel like my overall health has improved and my immune system too.I mix a tablespoon of the powder with warm water (around 150° F). I found out that using warm water is much better for dissolving the powder, but I also think it absorbs better in my tummy (and the warm water feels soothing). This has become a nightly ritual for me. I look forward to drinking the warm mix.This particular product is unflavored. I do have to say I like this brand, but the raspberry flavor of it is more of my preference. Sometimes I will add just a little honey or maple syrup to this just to add a little flavor to the unflavored product.

Works as described but...
Honest review here.I was excited to get this and try it. I was a little nervous because the safety moisture seal was broke on it when I opened it and a bunch had spilled out. Not a fan of that. I did end up trying it and it does work as described. The taste is mild and I had no side effects from using it.This is a calcium and magnesium 2:1 formula. It has healthy minerals in it and can assist in sleeping. This bottle is a 2 months supply or 60 servings.Each serving is 400mg Calcium & 200mg magnesium per serving.Hopefully the broken moisture seal on it isn't broken on all of them and that was a one off case. Otherwise I recommend it.

Helps me sleep!
This is a powdered magnesium and calcium supplement. We mix it in a little bit of hot water first, and then once it's dissolved, we add some warm water. We take this at night, mainly to help us sleep and it works wonderfully. If stress is really hard during the day, we also take some in the day, but a smaller dose.

Helps with sleep and restless legs
This works well and helps me keep a better sleep regimen. I'm not a fan of the taste. I have another er brand that has a raspberry lemonade flavor that I prefer.
