Good for Osteoporosis!
By Pat from New Orleans, Louisiana on February 15, 2012

A friend of mine turned me on to Cal-Mag Citrate (Effervescent Powder). She'd had severe osteoporosis and her now ex-doctor had her on Fossamax, which is very hard on your body. When her jaw started to deteriorate, she switched doctors and the new doctor told her about Thorne's calcium-magnesium citrate. After a year, her osteoporosis was gone and her bone density scans showed that her bones were healthy again.
Pros:
Good product, effectiveCons:
Have to order it onlineI would recommend this item to a friend.
Tastes like cabonated pee
By Jayna from Springville, UT on January 20, 2012

If you want to know what it's like to drink a baking soda volcano Cal-Mag Citrate (Effervescent Powder) is the stuff for you. While I don't doubt the quality of Cal-Mag Citrate (Effervescent Powder) I just can't stand the taste. I prefer using pure encapsulations cal/mag with cofactors. You spend a little more but it has a milder, sweet taste. Plus it includes vitamin D3.
Pros:
High quality
Powder form
Highly absorbableCons:
The tasteA Good nite's sleep
By Don Ford from Everett, WA on May 2, 2011

The tingling/burning sensation associated w/ diabetic neuropathy in my feet had been compromising quality sleep for months and I had found no relief from 'traditional' medicines. My wife's nutritionist recommended Cal-Mag Citrate (effervescent powder): it works like a charm. Gone are the nite tingling/burning sensations in my feet and I now sleep like a bear in hibernation.
Pros:
It works!!!!!!!!Cons:
This is not really a dislike, but I do dream like crazy, something I was prevented from doing since I was unable to get into REM sleep BEFORE taking Cal-Mag citrate.I would recommend this item to a friend.

Love the fizz
By kj from oakland on March 31, 2011

I love this product and have been using it for years. It's very absorbable and doesn't cause constipation. I also like the taste, and the fizz settles my stomach. Sometimes I use it to relieve heartburn as well.

Cal Mag Citrate
By Karen from Delray Beach, FL on January 21, 2011

My chiropractow recommeded this to me. I had osteopenia. Now my dexa scans are ok. I also take a high dose of vitamin D.
I like this product because it is effervescent and doesn't have to be mixed. It is much faster to take and not like a pill that may not absorb as easily.
I would recommend this item to a friend.
It works!
By Betty from Washington state on January 11, 2011

My naturopath gave me this product to try originally, and when I ran out I found it online. I take all my Cal-Mag by supplement, because there's no dairy in my diet. When I added this product at bedtime I stopped having muscle cramps in my sleep. Now I'm giving it to my adult son also.
Pros:
Easy, quick to consume. Effective (see my review).Cons:
No problems at all.I would recommend this item to a friend.

A great product
By Elaine from Kailua Kona, Hawaii on December 24, 2010

This is a great item if you hate to swallow pills and as it has the magnesium too I can also eliminate taking a pill for that. I mix it with orange juice. It is quite a bit cheaper than at my naturopathic's office and I received it quite quickly.
Pros:
qI would recommend this item to a friend.
This really does make a difference!
By Connie from Fort Wayne, Indiana on December 15, 2010

This was recommended for me several years ago after consulting a nutritionist during my breast cancer treatment. I took it, but not faithfully because it was all I could do to drink it when I mixed it with water. THEN, I found that when I mix it with my orange juice it's not only "not bad"... it's Really good!! And I feel better in general now that it is honestly an every morning supplement for me,and I look forward to starting my day with it!!
Pros:
The effervessance in the juice, the way I can feel an overall difference in the delivery of it as opposed to taking capsules.Cons:
NothingI would recommend this item to a friend.
