Abundant Element Magnesium Glycinate Plus 500g Powder $30 (Usually $60) + Delivery ($0 with $80 Spend) @Abundant Nature Health

100
CHEEKY5

Additional $5 off order with code

With all the magnesium deals lately, thought I'd jump in and add another.

Edit - see comments re 365mg of elemental magnesium per 2000mg serve - this product does contain ~ 9% Magnesium Oxide.

500g of Magnesium Bisglycinate Chelate powder, 250 serves per container, 365mg elemental magnesium per serve.

Usually $60, currently on special for $30, with an additional 30% off at checkout taking it to $21 30% off finished, use code CHEEKY5 for $5 off order.

I paid $6.99 delivery on 2 x 500g powder, was posted Monday, delivered Wednesday from W.A to NSW.

I will note, this powder isn't pleasantly flavoured like magzorb, or in tablet form.

It is what it is - no filler, no punches held back, mineral taste.

It's not what I'd call bitter, but it's not something to be savoured.

Description from seller -

Our Magnesium Glycinate Plus powder contains zero additives, flavours, sugars or fillers. Just straight, high-grade magnesium for those who want the real deal. This does not mean it's tasteless, this powder does not taste good or dissolve easily, due to its purity. It requires vigorous stirring or blending to break it down. If you're sensitive to strong mineral taste or prefer a taste-free, easy-to-mix supplement, please consider that this product might not be for you.

Unsure when this one finishes sorry.

  • Snot?

    • No, Magnesium supplement

  • wonder what the use by is

    How do you do the maths on this?

    The product states 2g serve gives 365mg (92% daily recommended intake). Is that the elemental magnesium value or do you reduce that to c. 14% of that number to get the elemental value for glycinate (c. 50mg)?

    If that's the elemental number then grossing up that 2g serve, it would contain 2,600mg of compound supplement?

    @Jolakot seems to know a fair bit about this topic if you wouldn't mind sash ring some wisdom?

    • Yep, it doesn't math ;) Most of the cheap stuff laced with Magnesium Oxide :/

      A 2000mg serve of pure Magnesium bis-glycinate would contain 282mg of elemental magnesium !!

      So to get to 365mg it would be laced with a small amount of non absorbing magnesium oxide (hence the warning of the strong mineral taste) :/

        Can't give the math on how're they're hitting the 365mg/2000mg, just confirming that on the bottle it lists 99% pure magnesium with Magnesium Bisglycinate Chelate as sole ingredient.

        Their other magnesium powder product has Mag Oxide and Gluconate listed as 2 of the ingredients.

        Will flick them a message, if I get a response I'll post back.

          I did some rough numbers based off 14% conversion for bisglycinate and 60% for mag oxide.

          I got 90.75% Magnesium Bisglycinate Chelate (254.1mg/1815mg) and 9.25% Magnesium Oxide (111mg/185mg).

          In the meantime, they responded super fast, provided the spec sheet - mag oxide indeed on the list.

          Couldn't be stuffed working out the mix using the details on the sheet, so banged it into copilot (my napkin math was close enough).

          To hit 365 mg elemental magnesium from a 2,000 mg serving, the blend must be:

          ≈ 1.82 g Magnesium Glycinate (91%) 256mg

          ≈ 0.18 g Magnesium Oxide (9%) 108mg

          Given the price, I still think it's a deal. But will treat the serve as 233mg elemental (based off 85% absorption for glycinate and 15% oxide). Just a bit annoyed I rushed into it without running the numbers.

          • @slimdealin: Cheers mate, you've done the lords work there

            Still much better value than I can see on most Chem WH products

          • @slimdealin: Nicely done ;)

          • @slimdealin: appreciate the work mate!

    Before ordering, consider the fact that Mag Glycinate tastes quite revolting and if you're not planning on encapsulating it, you will end up throwing most of it away. The best way I can describe the taste is artificially sweetened fish with a metallic aftertaste.

    • I can definitely see where you're going with the fish x metal - I'm mixing the below with just enough water to be able to shoot it like a shot (and then chase with more water).

      • Amino flavour 1g (bulk nutrients)
      • Magnesium Glycinate 2g (this product)
      • Creatine 5 g
      • L‑theanine 100 mg
      • Glycine 3 g
      • Inositol 1 g

      I'm going to try with a little citric acid once I run out of the amino flavouring.

  • Thanks OP, just wanted to confirm as it doesn't mention it anywhere on the product page. Is this safe/compatible to insert into empty capsules and ingest?
