Natural Vitality Calm, Magnesium Citrate Supplement, Anti-Stress Drink Mix Powder, Gluten Free, Vegan, & Non-GMO, Raspberry Lemon, 0.12 oz, 30 Packets

I read so many reviews about this product before purchasing it ( I think I went through all 200+ reviews on Amazon) because I've tried so many natural supplements to try and medicate my rampant anxiety that usually hits its peak around the time I go to bed every night. The worst review said that the size of the packet was too small, so I decided to go for yet another product and tried it. After a couple of days I definitely saw an improvement, albeit a small one. After another few days of taking it, I noticed that the results were more consistent, but it still wasn't enough to get me to sleep at night. I was reading through a lifestyle blog and it mentioned this other herbal supplement TranquiliX - 90 Caps #1 Top Rated For Rapid Anxiety and Stress Relief - Pharmaceutical Grade Anti-Anxiety Formula for Relaxation and Stress Reduction With Mood Support & Patented AES® Delivery System for Maximum Absorption that was supposed to have amazing results so I decided to try that. Here's the trick, the Tranquilix (as will all other herbal supplements) usually take about 6-8 weeks to actually make changes within your body, but you'll see small amounts of success as you go along. I decided to continue using the natural vitality drink in conjunction with the supplement, as a sort of in between. It absolutely worked! Now, 3 months later, I actually keep some of the stress drink around and drink it whenever I've had a particularly troubling day, but for the most part I just take my supplement and go on. While I don't think that this stress drink could be my sole go-to for relief, I do think that if you have mild or normal amounts of stress it would definitely work for you.

I really like this supplement. I make a warm cup every night before bedtime and find it very relaxing. Not only does it help me sleep well, my night time leg cramps have disappeared completely. It has a soft fruity flavor and is lightly sweetened with stevia which is very enjoyable. I travel a great deal and find that these packets are perfect to throw in my suitcase so I don't need to bring along the large bottle. Using the large bottle is more cost-effective at home. Sometimes when I travel I don't have access to hot water so I just put the powder in a cup and add cool water from a bottle. Although it doesn't fizz up much it tastes fine and works just as well.

This stuff was suggested to me by my dietician because regular magnesium supplements give me lots of digestive distress. My doctor wanted me to try magnesium, and I was totally game. I bought the supplements (a pill) she suggested, and that night I took one. In the morning, when I woke up and made my morning stop at the bathroom (I'm a regular gal what can I say ;), i noticed my stool was a bit loose. Nothing major...i could handle it. Nbd, right? That night I took another magnesium tablet. I woke up in the middle of the night with violent diarrhea. My stools were loose for the next day after as well. I stopped taking the tablets and things went back to normal within a day or two. I shared this with my dietician and I said "I AM NOT TAKING MAGNESIUM SUPPLEMENTS". Of course she laughed, said she totally understood and that it's a common complaint. And then suggested this saying many of her patients have had luck with it. I bought it, and low and behold- LUCK! It doesn't give me the stomach trouble I get from taking tablets, it truly does give me a sense of calm, and the taste is Great! It dissolves nicely in water and is easy to drink. I will never go back to magnesium tablets again!

I have been using this brand for years before I go to bed. Hopefully it helps me sleep, calm and unwind. The small packets are great for travel, as opposed to carrying around the large container. I did find these little packets inconsistent in terms of tearing them open. Sometimes it was easy, other times it wasn't and I used scissors. These are definitely worse value for the money than buying the larger 16 ounce containers, so I don't use these on a regular basis. But for travel, they're perfect.

I really like this stuff. First of all, the packet form is really convenient. I can take it with me, and I don't have to worry as much about freshness since each one is individually sealed. Plus, it's easier to measure. Then there's the product itself. It has definitely seemed to help my health. I haven't noticed any sleep benefits, but I have noticed that I get a lot fewer headaches now. I also rarely get heart palpitations anymore, which I used to get a couple times a week. And finally, I'm pretty sure it has helped with my mood. I feel less depressed lately. I think it's related, although I couldn't tell you for certain. I take it by dissolving half a packet into a small amount of hot water, then adding more water and ice. It makes a nice, cool, refreshing drink that I kind of enjoy the flavor of. All in all, I would definitely buy this again. Since I only take about 1/2 a packet twice a week, this will last me several months. That ends up only being a couple dollars a month for noticeably improved health. I'll take it.

I have suffered from severe anxiety and hypochondria foir 10+ years and I am prescribed medication for my frequent panic attacks. I saw a study that said magnesium helps relieve anxiety and invasive thoughts and being desperate I will try anything. I saw this product and decided to try it because of all the reviews. It's been a few weeks now and I havent had a panic attack in over 2 weeks, I can't even recall a time I didn't have at least one. I will be taking this forever. I am so grateful that I found this. I don't know if it will help you the way it has me but it's worth trying! Update: Its been months now and I am still doing better than I have in YEARS. If I miss a few days I get a panic attack. This had given me my life back. Everything feels better.

I have been buying Natural Vitality's Magnesium citrate for a few years now. I was introduced to it by my roommate, because I have period cramps that can render me unable to walk at times. I noticed it also helped with constipation when I had my period as well. I have anxiety as well and it also helps minorly with my mood swings. I prefer the packets because I can keep it in my bag. It's a lower dosage than what is recommended on the containers of their bulk magnesium citrate. 1.5TSP vs 2TSP I think the raspberry lemon and cherry flavors taste the best. Sometimes I mix them with coconut water or other juice which it gives it a slightly different flavor. Need to know: If you haven't used this before, it will make you go to the bathroom (poop). First time I ever tried it, I was running to the bathroom 15 minutes later. It may cause sleepiness. Multiple friends of mine have taken it in the evening and said they were out within a few minutes.

believe the hype! I have insomnia, in the sense that its very hard for me to fall asleep, but I can sleep all night and its even hard for me to wake up in the morning. I take this product on days when I catch myself struggling a little to fall asleep at night, and it helps calm me enough to allow myself to rest. On days I have taken it, its worked within minutes and really helps me rest and have a good nights' deep sleep. The trick is to take it right before bed, and not entertain yourself with anything else after (I think it might be a placebo effect, not sure, but it works!) The product itself wont make you sleepy, it calms/ "um-stresses" you when you can't "shut off your brain" or are feeling anxious. I have taken it during the day, and even gave it to a "mother of the bride" once on the day of the wedding- and like magic, it just calms you down! As for the side effects; I didn't experience any. Many have said it "helped" with constipation and most blamed this on the amount they started taking. I used the entire pouch since day one, but have never had more than one in a day. I cant speak to the health benefits either because I haven't taken it consistently enough- but my husband and his family swear by magnesium supplements. Finally, I bought the Raspberry-lemon flavor, and its quite good, but I like that sort of fake citric flavor taste.
