Natural Calm Magnesium Review: Powder vs Pill

Calm Magnesium Reviews

One of the most popular magnesium supplements is Natural Vitality's Natural Calm. What makes it unique is that it is a powder that you dissolve in water and drink.

This makes it super easy to take when compared to the large pills that make up most other supplements.

Having tried a wide range of magnesium supplements (including Natural Vitality's) I am often asked what I think of it so here I have put together my own Calm Magnesium review.

Calm Magnesium Facts

Natural Calm is made of magnesium citrate which tends to be one of the better-absorbed forms of magnesium.

They also say it is an ionic form of magnesium citrate which means it should be more absorbable than standard magnesium citrate.

What does ionic mean? The short version is that the magnesium citrate has been given a positive or negative charge.

81 %
RDA

This means it should bond better to water and is more likely to be absorbed by your body.

The serving size is two 'rounded' teaspoons dissolved in water which gives you 325mg, or roughly 81% of the RDA for magnesium.

Calm Magnesium Reviews

As regular readers know, Natural Calm is one of my top three magnesium supplements.

What I like is that it:

  • Is super easy to take. Most magnesium supplements consist of giant pills that are tough to swallow and nasty to chew.
  • Actually tastes pretty good. When I first tried it I expected something chalky but instead it's more like drinking seltzer water. Think fizzy with a weak but not unpleasant taste. It also comes in multiple flavors.
  • Is sort of fun to mix it with water. When you drop the powder into the water it's like a chemistry experiment where things start to bubble and move around on their own.
  • Works pretty well considering how easy it is to take.

However, having used it quite a lot I have found it to have a few drawbacks:

  • It is expensive compared to other types of magnesium.

If I go by the average price I can find online (roughly $25 for the 16oz version), it comes out to about $0.22 per serving. The two pill-based magnesium supplements I take are roughly $0.12 - $0.15 per serving.

This means Calm magnesium costs an extra $25-$35 per year if you take it every day.

  • I found that it's more likely to give me bowel troubles than pill-based magnesium.

I was able to resolve this by reducing the serving size but then I was concerned I wasn't getting all the magnesium I needed.

  • It didn't help me quite as much as some of the other supplements I tried.

I take magnesium for a bunch of different reasons (migraines, restless legs, anxiety, etc) and I found that, while it did help me, it just didn't help me as much as I would have liked.

Summary

Overall I give Natural Calm magnesium 4.5 out of 5 stars.

It's pricey and it wasn't the absolute most effective magnesium I've ever tried, but it's so easy to take that I think it's a great option for anyone looking for their first magnesium supplement.

​It also tends to be one of the best-selling magnesium supplements on Amazon.
