BulkSupplements.com Magnesium Glycinate Powder - Magnesium Supplement for Bone & Muscle - Gluten Free - 1250mg (225mg of Magnesium) per Serving, 800 Servings (1 Kilogram - 2.2 lbs)

It does have a fishy smell but it is great not to have my muscles cramping on me.

I've used this product from this company for several years. It always had a bitter taste and when placed in water formed a crystal lump. I just put the powder in my mouth and drank water. Last year I received a bag that tasted very sweet, a lot like powdered sugar. It dissolved easily in water. I contacted the company because it was so different I didn't believe it was magnesium glycinate. I actually thought it was powdered sugar. They assured me that it had been tested and was magnesium glycinate. They said it was from a different source. I was very pleased and liked it a lot better than the previous version. My provider paused my magnesium for a few weeks to try to determine what was causing some GI issues I'd been having for a couple of years. When I resumed, I continued with the sweet version. All was wel. Once I finished that bag and started on a new one, the new one is bitter and forms hard crystal lumps when placed in water, much like the product I'd been taking for several years, or so I assumed. I contacted BS and told them it would be nice if we could get the same product each time. They didn't respond. Since changing bags, each time I restart the mag glycinate, I experience bloating, loose blood-tinged stools and cramping. I discontinue it for a week or so and try to restart. I've even tried restarting at smaller dosages. It doesn't matter. The result is still the same. I tried to contact BS through Amazon but Amazon blocked me with the message that since Amazon shipped the product, I had to contact Amazon customer service. I've voice my concern about this to Amazon because that fact that Amazon stores and ships the product does not make them qualified to respond to product questions. It's fallen on deaf ears. I called BS. The phone rep told me that BECAUSE IT'S A NUTRITIONAL PRODUCT I SHOULD EXPECT inconsistencies. I told her that was the most ludicrous thing I've heard in a while. BECAUSE IT'S A NUTRITIONAL PRODUCT is the exact reason we should expect consistency, especially if we're dealing with a health concern. Everyone's body responds to products in different ways. Once we find one that our body responds well to, we like to continue to use that product. She said that is not a reasonable expectation. She suggested that when I finish one bag, I could call and ask which supplier they were using at the time. When I asked what I'm supposed to do if they're not using the supplier that makes the product I want, she had no answer. After this horrendous experience on the phone, I contacted BS through their chat portal. Again, no response. If this is their official position, it brings into question the consistency of all of the other BS products I use. For several years, BS has been my go to for every product I need that they supply because I only get the listed product and don't have to ingest all of the additives and fillers that most other companies add and because until this last experience, I have, for the most part, been happy with the quality of their products and their pricing. Now I'm having to rethink my decisions.

I've reached out to BS 25/05/26 to enquire about how bad this tastes and if this is what their product usually tastes like so just waiting for a reply. We've been using Mag Glycinate for many years with great results and no issues, however, this is the first time neither my wife or I can actually tolerate the incredibly foul fishy tastes of this product so we're hoping its just a bad batch. We're happy to send it back for them to taste and say, nope, this isn't right or, yeah, this is how I product tastes, so then we'll know not to buy again. Once we get a reply, I'll upldate as we don't like to leave negative reviews if not justified. TBC Blessings, Well sadly no reply, but we were refunded upon return so that's a positive result, so thank you BulkSupps and Amazon for integrity well $pent. Blessings,

This product is mostly magnesium oxide, not glycinate. If you check the ingredients they'll tell you it's a mixture of glycinate and oxide without specifying the ratio. Glycinate is expensive while oxide is cheap, but practically useless unless you want to use it as a laxative. When you mix this in water, most of the mixture turns into clumps. Now glycinate is highly water soluble whiles oxide is not. This tells me most of what you get in this product is NOT magnesium glycinate and likely oxide or some other filler. This powder is only good as a laxative.

Absolute rubbish. This stuff taught me to never buy Bulk Supplements again!
