Magna reviews and discussion

I was intrigued by Magna who had been targetting me with their ads. The hydration market is oversaturated but what stands out is the focus on magnesium, which is the new buzz for better sleep and recovery. I got the starter kit which got me a free bottle too, but also was dying to try the apple juice flavor (stands out again from the lemon limes, berries, etc). I will say unfortunately there is an aftertaste I can't shake, so this is going to be my husband's to finish. Love to see the product out in the market and worth while to try!

I hate how much I love these (because of the priceeeee)... I genuinely think that this is an incredible product and I will tell you why. I got samples of these at an event and at my run club and I tried it because ya girl needs extra magnesium all day everyday. Let me tell you, I did NOT like that first flavor I tried. I don't remember which one it was. So for a while, even though I generally liked how it made me feel, I left my samples untouched. But then I was running low on my favorite electrolytes and went back to my Magna sample pouches and drank them a few days in a row with some flavors still being rough while really liking others. And, unfortunately for my wallet, I really noticed a difference in how I felt. It shouldn't have been a surprise because I have been told by numerous doctors that I need more magnesium (but after my favorite magnesium supplement was discontinued I just stopped doing that) but it really did make me feel better. Anyway, so after looking into the price I was a little discouraged, but Black Friday deals helped me pull the trigger and now I'm happily drinking these every day. It's like a little treat. I feel a little guilty for abandoning my other electrolytes but these just cover everything I need for now. Maybe once I run out and prices are back to normal I'll go back to my old faves.

I got to try the variety pack and apple juice flavor. Based on flavor alone, I'm actually very impressed with the right amount of sweetness. I work out a lot and I do feel it helps with my muscle recovery, and sometimes you don't want to guzzle down a candy-sweet drink all the time. I'm kinda over the blue raspberries, and pink lemonades, and sour gummy flavors out there so these were refreshing for a change. The variety pack is good. Watermelon lime is tasty, more lime than watermelon. The watermelon note is the artificial/candy type, not like the real fruit. Blood Orange, Lemon Lime taste closer to light gatorade flavors, and the Ice Tea is pretty spot on to a lipton/snapple ice tea. All are good with ice. The new Apple Juice flavor definitely has a strong scent of apple but the sweetness is VERY mild/delicate (think rock or palm sugar). You won’t get that sharp sweet taste of a biting into a real apple, it tastes more like the lingering aftertaste of apple. My tip: I find that squeezing a lemon and a few drops of monkfruit gives it the tartness of a pink lady.

We have been pleasantly surprised by the flavor of the Blood Orange formula and enjoy drinking it. We got the watermelon lime as samples and haven’t tried them yet, but are excited to! The Blood Orange is a sour orange juice flavor, which again, we love! I’m always trying to get in magnesium (in any form) so this is a plus! It takes a bit more shaking/stirring to fully dissolve, which I assume is the magnesium in the formula.

Tbh I was not expecting to like this as much as I do! They're not too salty or too sweet, no weird aftertaste, and no gross gunk left in the bottom. Lemon lime and iced tea lemonade were good, but I didn't find myself reaching for them. Watermelon lime may have just made me a liquid iv convert, though. If there were more flavors like that, I'd be fully sold. But none of the others speak to me right now. Also the pouches are kinda hard to open. Love the magnesium in it and will deff try again!

Shipping, order and packaging experience was all great! Unfortunately, this REALLY upset my stomach. I took it on an empty stomach, which friends later told me I wasn't supposed to do... but it doesn't say clearly on the packaging that you need to do so, so I don't think it was that big of a fumble for me to not know that? I wish this agreed with me, but after what happened to my stomach, I'm really nervous to try again. I will when I'm safely at home and have a very full stomach. The taste was decent and the color was surprisingly bright. While it killed my stomach, it did get rid of my headache, so, you know... exchanging one ailment for another...

I've been using the Watermelon Lime flavor and it's had a noticeable effect on my recovery and mental relaxation. I take magnesium supplements to help me sleep but I can tell that the absorption and response to this powder after a workout far exceeds what I get from a nighttime pill. I prefer these as a 1x/day drink after coming home from work to help my body relax. I have other recovery sports drinks that I prefer. I wish the brand offered a larger package with scoops or a refillable option rather than the individual packets.

Absolutely love Magna! Not only do I love the branding, but it actually works! I have been taking a packet first thing when I wake up, and in the afternoon. I have noticed a change in my energy levels, and just having a consistent feeling of being productive. Huge fan!

Magna is my new favorite electrolyte brand. The magnesium is a plus for me but not the reason why I drink it (not sold on the benefits...) The apple flavor is superb, it tastes like really apple juice, not artificial and sweet like all other electrolyte flavors. Took a photo of Magna Apple because I think it's cool that it even looks like apple juice :)

Started to look into the benefits of Magnesium as a supplement, and came across this brand. I like the simplicity and straight-talking detail the brand goes into in terms of the how & why & what this formula can help with. Extra points for the hydration bonus it comes in - which, as a box, comes in individual sachets making it great for on-the go— especially in the summer. The Blood Orange flavour is DELICIOUS— sour, but not too much and most importantly, does not taste fake. It also came with a trial sachet of the Watermelon (pictured, which... I'd give a miss TBH).

Love this brand! Great flavors, well saturated, and keeps me hydrated. The Watermelon Lime and Mint Limeade are the best in my opinion. Lemon-lime tastes pretty standard. Ice tea is nice, but you can start to taste the artificial sweetener quite a bit with this one.

Background: One of the best, if not THE best electrolyte powders on the market. What makes Magna unique is that it is predominantly magnesium and specific types of magnesium salts that help with recovery, brain function/cognition, and overall health. Many magnesium pills, powders, and drinks prior to magna would send a person to the bathroom, but not Magna. Shopping: Using the special link through Thingtesting, it was easy to order it. Delivery: It took a bit longer to get here, but I'm glad it came. Effect: I felt it work from the first time I tried it. I took it after a workout and within a few minutes, I felt a sense of calm. I helped me recover faster. The second dose I took in the morning...it had a sense of calm, clarity, and focus. Flavors: Many electrolyte drinks have a strong taste of sodium or potassium salts, artificial sweetners, and flavors. Not Magna. The flavor was easy, subtle, not overpowering. I have tried all three flavors - my favorites in order are Lemon Lime, Watermelon, and Lemon Tea. Call me a purist, but I don't like the taste of lemon in my tea! Overall - highly recommend!

"Love Magna! It's my go-to for staying focused and energized. The taste is awesome, and it really helps me feel sharper and more alert. Perfect for workouts or busy days at work. Plus, it helps with recovery after tough sessions. Definitely recommend!"

Another powdered supplement brand enters the scene! Tastes good and dissolves not so great, leaves little chunks in your water since the powder isn’t thaaat finely milled. Honestly not sure if the magnesium claims live up the hype though, was taking it more like a liquid IV than as a vitamin.

Great product. I took them before my morning runs everyday for a week and I felt the energy + hydration boost. They're a little pricey and the aftertaste isn't the best so I did not repurchase.

I'm not sure this is totally amazing. The flavors seem pretty standard for this kind of thing - they don't stand out as super special. However, I like what's in it and my kids like it. My son does lots of sports and likes it for recovery. He uses it like an electrolyte drink. My daughter was taking a magnesium and B vit. supplement to help with PMS cramps but prefers this to the big magnesium pills. They both like it and will continue.

I really enjoy Magna! I have PCOS and magnesium is essential for me - I really enjoy the flavors and have found myself reaching for magna over an afternoon coffee.
