KAL® Magnesium Glycinate 400 mg | Chelated Magnesium Supplement | High Absorption, Gentle Digestion | Sugar Free Natural Orange Flavor | 120 Chewables

These magnesium chewables taste GREAT! They remind me of the "vitamin C" chewables they used to sell in a roll, like Lifesavers, when I was a kid. They are SWEET, which my kids really love. I don't mind them either.They are pretty easy to snap in half, though they don't always snap evenly, but they are close enough. I have kids of varying ages & wanted a chewable magnesium supplement to give them to help vitamin D absorption, as well as K2 MK-7 drops they get.My kids are various ages & I am so OVER having to buy a bunch of different supplements to meet the various dose needs. These are FABULOUS! I snap them in half to give my younger kids, & then snap the half piece in half again for my toddler. My older kids get a whole one. The rest of us take the nasty tasting magnesium powder, but the kids would rebel if I tried to give them that, so I got these for the younger kiddos. If we are in a hurry, the older kids & I will take 4 chewables, but we try to save them for the younger crowd to save money. We would all gladly take them every day, but again, it's more budget friendly to save these for the younger crowd.They seem to help them sleep better too, which is a huge PLUS :).Since my kids like the taste (my youngest one BEGS for more! lol), I WOULD purchase them again.Happy I found them!

I've been using the KAL magnesium glycinate for about 3 years. I started with the powder mixed with water at night but it was difficult for me to get down due to the taste and it would upset my stomach. The chewables are FAR more palatable for me and they do not upset my stomach. they are chalky but the overall taste is much more pleasant than the powder.I have not tried other magnesium supplements so can only judge by this one but I have to say it has improved my mood so much, which I did not expect. I began taking it because a friend told me it helped tremendously with her migraines. I figured I'd give it a try and also had read that it can be helpful with heart function and mitral valve prolapse. I started taking it and noticed within weeks a decrease in frequency and severity of migraines. Also, I noticed that my mood had improved and things did not bother me so much. I was in a much better mood all the time. I did not immediately connect the improvement in my mood with the magnesium glycinate right away until I started researching magnesium relating to some tummy issues I suspected it was causing (see below).For me the recommended dosing on the bottle is too high and causes stomach/digestive issues the next day, so I take 2-3 tablets a day instead of 4. I've been taking 2 in the morning but recently added one at night and that doesn't seem to bother me.

Like other reviewers, I want to warn you the flavor is pretty tart. But that's my only negative. I find this supplement to be extremely beneficial! I take the magnesium before bed, and so I love having the chewables on my nightstand. I took the full dose (4 tablets) the first night, and it upset my stomach. I decided to take 2 tablets for a few days to let my body adjust, and I've actually stuck with 2 since then, because I notice it's working... and why not make the bottle last twice as long?! Some of my painfully tense muscles are much more relaxed. In fact, I've been battling sciatica for the past two years, and I swear it's been better since I started taking these. It helps more than PT, chiropractic care and massage all put together. I can't promise you'll love it as much as I do, but I thought it was worth sharing.And for everyone giving negative reviews because the serving size is 4 tablets? That's written on the label and shown in the photos. Just look before you buy! It's pretty common for supplements.

I love KAL brand! I first started using their magnesium tablets which are coated and easier than most pills to swallow (and I don’t swallow pills easily). They really helped me to feel calm with the first dose I took and I was only taking half of the recommended dose.As time went by, I discovered it would be really helpful to have a chewable that I could pop in my mouth first thing in the morning in bed if my anxiety was high. I am not a morning person, I am usually not awake enough to swallow a big pill right after I open my eyes in bed and I needed something to take effect faster. These chewables are perfect for this. They are also more convenient for me to take to work or anywhere else in public than to go through my process of trying to swallow a pill around other people 😕.These chewables are quite tart but chewing them with some water in your mouth dilutes the sour taste somewhat and it’s worth it to me to have a few seconds of sour in my mouth for anxiety relief. I agree with a previous reviewer who said they taste like intense sweet tarts. I have also tried KAL’s magnesium that dissolves instantly in water, which is somewhat less sour. Both the chewables and the instant mix are good options for people who have trouble swallowing pills. They are definitely worth a try!

I decided to try these because the pills I had were large and hard to take. I read other reviews about the taste but wanted to give them a try anyway and honestly, for me the taste is not a problem. I take 4 tablets about an hour before bed for help with insomnia and mild anxiety. The first night, I was a little shocked by how strong the taste was but I got used to them quickly. They remind me of a chewable vitamin C tablet from when I was a kid. Strong, almost sour citrus kind of flavor. If you like sour candy or sour patch kids, you would probably not have a problem with these. For me, I prefer this over trying to swallow large pills and they have been working great for me. I just ordered my second bottle.
