A popular magnesium drink powder, reduced to £19.69 at iHerb, works out at around 18p a serving, with shoppers reporting uninterrupted sleep and no more 3am wake-ups. The California Gold Nutrition Magnesium Powder Beverage, in orange flavour, has earned thousands of ratings and is being promoted in the retailer's latest California Gold Nutrition sale.
The supplement is priced at £19.69, down from £30.29, and contains around 109 servings. Each scoop provides 290mg of magnesium in the form of trimagnesium citrate.
How the supplement works
The brand says magnesium can support normal muscle and nerve function and help promote a calm, relaxed state. Users mix one scoop with around 240ml to 300ml of water once a day, with or without food. The orange-flavoured powder is suitable for vegetarians and is formulated without gluten, GMOs or soya.
Shoppers should follow the recommended serving instructions and speak to a healthcare professional if they have concerns about whether it is suitable for them.
Shopper reviews
One person said: “I took the recommended dose an hour before sleeping. Within minutes, the tension began to melt. My muscles unknotted, my mind slowed its racing thoughts, and a wave of calm washed over me. I didn't just fall asleep, I drifted into a deep, dreamy slumber that lasted the whole night. No more 3am wake-ups.”
Another added: “Great magnesium. I take it after dinner with vitamin D. I really see a difference from other magnesium. My sleep is uninterrupted, and even if I wake up at night, it is really easy to get back to sleep.”
Some disagreed slightly, with one person saying it “tastes like a sports drink.” Another added: “An interesting additive with a pleasant taste, but the effect is difficult to detect. It sticks together a lot and is difficult to mix.”
Other options and alternatives
Another California Gold Nutrition product on offer is its Pure Vitamin C Quali-C Powder for £19.03, down from £25.38, providing 1,000mg of vitamin C per serving. The 250g tub contains around 250 servings and uses pure vitamin C in the form of ascorbic acid, with no additional ingredients. Vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system and normal collagen formation.
Other options include the Holland & Barrett Magnesium 375mg Powder 200g for £16.99, which supports healthy bones and muscles and can help reduce tiredness and fatigue. A more expensive choice is the JSHealth Vitamins Advanced Magnesium+ Powder Triple Form 180g for £24.99 from Boots, which provides 402mg of total magnesium per daily serve.
Overall, most people praised the California Gold Nutrition powder, as one person said: “Really helps relax the body and muscles. I learned about magnesium helping to soothe and relax the muscles especially at night time. It really does work. I've been taking this just before sleep and I get better sleep. Reduced stiffness, aches and pain.”
