BulkSupplements.com Magnesium Malate Powder - Magnesium Supplements, High Bioavailabilty - Unflavored & Gluten Free, 2.5g per Serving, 500g (1.1 lbs) (Pack of 1)

I’ve been taking this magnesium malate supplement for a bit now, and while it’s hard to say definitively what it’s doing, it seems perfectly fine. I haven’t noticed any negative side effects, and it’s easy enough to take and fit into my routine. Like a lot of supplements, the effects are subtle (if they’re there at all), so I can’t point to any dramatic changes. But it feels like a solid option if you’re looking to add magnesium malate to your lineup and want something that appears well tolerated and straightforward.

I make my own hydration supplements with this stuff. Way cheaper than the name brands.

Good quality! I used this to make my own electrolyte powder.

I bought this to make some electrolyte mix in bulk to use over the next year or so going by LMNTs homemade mix (just google "LMNT homemade electrolyte mix", where they share the recipe for DIYers). The price is good but there is a definite "off" taste to Magnesium Malate that is either masked by LMNT flavoring (I made the unflavored variety) or not present in other sources of magnesium malate. I tried each ingredient (regular table salt, potassium salt substitute, and this magnesium malate) separately and it's definitely the magnesium giving the weird aftertaste. It's not terrible, but it's not great if you are expecting a normal "salt" flavor. I also cannot comment as to whether this aftertaste is a "magnesium malate" thing or this specific brand, as I don't have anything else to compare to....so to be fair, it may just be the way magnesium malate tastes. Just be aware that unless you mask the flavor, there will be a funky aftertaste.

Used this to prepare homemade LMNT. You can make bulk of many items, once you decide that are making you feel great, and you want to keep it in your routine. It saves money to make some water salts and use those to hydrate.

I use this along with sodium and potassium to make my own hydration mix. Works really great and will probably last me a very long time.

11/24 update- ADDED OXIDE! Facts: cutting it with oxide cheapens it, it doesn't take much oxide to add GI productivity, and obviously changes the quality of this product that I absolutely will no longer use with the oxide. IF I WANTED OXIDE I WOULD HAVE ORDERED OXIDE! why else do you sell the other separate forms?! They function differently for specific things. so a year and 3 kilos later this was a sneaky switcharoo- only the back label pic has been updated while the title, bullets, description, and even video on page state and show the old label without oxide- but who checks before every order? I will from now on. The title and front label should clearly state it is not just magnesium malate any longer, and to boot it is not even listed on back as to how much oxide vs malate there is- 100% unacceptable! Shame on you Bulk because this was awesome as just magnesium malate! I already have BulkS magnesium hydroxide but that is for a completely different purpose (occasional reflux) and will take you to the bathroom many times- I could have added that if I wanted to- I DO NOT!!!!!!!!! I further read through the reviews and my husband and I did notice a change in sourness at beginning of year as others mentioned, personally I did not mind (kind of a sour patch tart and that is what malic acid is used for) but my husband disliked and it shows that this product has been manipulated more than once. I currently have 8 more Bulk supplements subscriptions I will have to monitor for changes. *SO BEWARE* I don't take these but I checked for y'all- Bulk's magnesium glycinate, carbonate, and L-Aspertate all have added oxide now as well! 4/24 update: I enthusiastically feel this has helped my all over muscle soreness and sleep quality and will definitely continue this as I believe magnesium has been an important supplement for me for many years, *but full disclosure it is not the only supplement I have recently added that may have helped with soreness as stated below. I did have to start slowly with this to avoid a GI cleanse- 1/4 tsp and increasing by that amount every 3-4 weeks: it took me 3 months to get to my current 1 tsp. it has not helped with my chronic fatigue but no supplement ever has- likely because of my ADD. To avoid GI issues I do take this at night with my supplements that help sleep -but I do not think this makes me tired like magnesium taurate does. this mixes well in a small shot of room temp water but clumps in cold (milk) so I mix all my supplement powders together to avoid this. *At night I also take fish oil and taurine- which I slowly added over a few months. I also added trans-resveratrol, moringa, and tulsi to my morning matcha tea- all of these could be helping with soreness and inflammation but I truly feel the magnesium malate has been the biggest help in my fibromyalgia perimenopausal all-over-everything-hurts muscle soreness, a very big win! oddly my new 1Kg batch seems more potent- my shake wants to explode when opening so I now take this alone in a shot glass of water- it has a sour patch type taste from the malic acid and is tolerable. original: after trying magnesium threonate, malate, glycinate, and taurate- I have been taking magnesium taurate pills for the last 5 years because I believe they cut down on the intensity of my migraines. being 3+ years perimenopausal I've been struggling with increased migraines and muscle fatigue/pain so I wanted to revisit magnesium malate for soreness while adding taurine as a separate supplement for migraines. first day I split dose 1/2 tsp morning and night, but after day two with minor GI discomfort I chose to start with1/4 tsp and increase dose slowly. the fine powder mixes well even in small amount of room temp water- rather tasteless, and certainly not noticeable with many other powders in my cold smoothie. bought 8oz as a trial which seems a decent trail amount, so fingers crossed I can get some results from this supplement.

Powder can be dense or fluffy. 1 tsp on my scale came out to 2 gms (not 2.5). so if you need to, get a milligram scale to weigh out your serving.

I used this with my earlier purchase of potassium to make my electrolyte mix

Great price and seems to be a quality product, my only small gripe was the the zip lock resealable part of the packaging is misaligned so I cannot reseal the contents adequately with its original package.

Shocked by the taste This is very difficult to consume. With water tastes like citric acid. Unpleasant to the palate. I guess will need to mix it with something to hide the taste.

Other than that very happy with the product

Bought to diy LMNT (they have the recipe on their website) and this is one of the ingredients. Works well, dissolves easy enough. Would recommend.
