Calm Magnesium Powder
Magnesium is one of the most common deficiencies. This version of Calm also has calcium, which is an added bonus for those with low-density and women over their 40’s. The raspberry lemon flavor tastes great, like lemonade that’s a little on the tart side. I drink this after dinner to help wind down for the day.
This powder helps you de-stress; it relaxes the muscles and helps you sleep. The first time I took this, I was asleep face down within 20 minutes.
“Symptoms of magnesium deficiency include loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and weakness. Extreme magnesium deficiency can cause numbness, tingling, muscle cramps, seizures, personality changes, and an abnormal heart rhythm.” - NIH
When starting to use Calm, try a small amount and work your way up to the recommended dose of 1 tablespoon. Having too much at once will cause loose stools.
You can make this hot or cold. If you make it hot, put the powder in a tall glass. Pour a few ounces of hot water over it, and wait a bit before pouring the rest. Otherwise, if you pour all of the water in, it mix will fizz like crazy and bubble over.
Currently, this 16-ounce version with calcium costs $38 on Amazon. If calcium isn’t a concern for you or if you’re already supplementing with calcium, Costco carries Calm magnesium without calcium that’s $24.99 for 20 ounces.
