  • Effective sleep support beverage
  • Refined, subtle lemonade flavor

  • Occasional stevia aftertaste notes

Wooden Spoon Herbs earns strong reviews for flavorful, beautifully branded herbal formulas—especially Magic Magnesium—which many say improves sleep, relaxation, hydration, and muscle recovery, while dissolving cleanly with a subtle blue lemonade taste. Reviews also flag drawbacks: inconsistent sleep benefits, use of magnesium citrate that can act as a laxative, occasional off-putting sweetener/aftertaste and weak flavor, plus label tape obscuring instructions and flimsy lids.

  • I wasn’t a huge fan of the taste and don’t love that it uses maltodextrin :( would love to see a magnesium complex used here, too! Though, the packaging is beautiful and I love that blue spirulina is used for color!

  • Makes me really gassy, not too sure if it's working as every night I've woken up. Tastes good, and always seem to have some undissolved.

  • I have tried a few products and taken a couple workshops with the founder of Wooden Spoon Herbs. I think the knowledge required to make great herbal products is immense and the founder, Lauren, is incredibly knowledgeable so I trust that her offerings are truly formulated to be as effective and high-quality as possible. Rose-Colored Glasses: Did it do anything for me personally? Hard to tell. Is it fair to rely on a single product to change my entire life? Probably not. Did I enjoy the experience of taking it every day because it tasted good and I'm a sucker for beautiful packaging? 100%! So to that effect, it did indeed lift my mood. Herbal Coffee: I really wanted to like this, but I just did not like the flavor at all. Rose Cocoa: This was my absolute favorite and I'm not sure she makes it anymore unfortunately. I eventually would like to test the Light Ray and Adaptogen Balance tinctures & will update my review when I do!

  • Was very excited to try this product - I see it sold to a lot if the stores I frequent. I found it mild and was disappointed that it had Splenda as an ingredient. I did not do the research that I should on this. Ive been mixing this with my matcha in the morning as an alternative to cold brew.

  • Menstrual Magic/Cramp control! I reach for this whenever I need a step above your regular cramp bark formulation found at health food stores. I do feel as if it’s more potent/effective!

  • I recently stumbled up Wooden Spoon Herbs Herbal Coffee and as someone who can't quite stomach traditional coffee regularly, this is a perfect, warming and delicious alternative. Can't recommend enough.

  • pretty, delicious...and works?!

    This brand is great. The Magic Magnesium is my first product of WSH and I'm impressed. I use it to enhance my daily wellness routine. I love the taste, the color, and all the blog recipes they have for it. Thanks a bunch!

  • Obsessed with Wooden Spoon Herbs! I’m on my 4th container of magic magnesium and it’s the best tasting magnesium I’ve ever had! Their tinctures are also amazing!

  • I absolutely love this brand, aside from the wide variety of products and the delicious taste (I have tried 3 so far) I love the fact that these are all herbal tinctures which are highly more absorbable than capsules. I’ve been taking the magic magnesium for over a month now, I’m on my second bottle and I see a huge difference in my sleep quality, calmness, and post workout muscle recovery. I also just purchased the light ray and mushroom magic but it is too soon to tell how well they work. However, I love the aesthetic and the quality of the products much better than a lot of other brands I’ve tried.

  • I tried the Magic Magnesium through Thingdrop. I stop using my regular magnesium pills and drank 1 teaspoon in water every night for one week. The flavor is really weak, especially for how bright blue it is, I expected the flavor to match the intensity of the color. Compared to other flavored magnesium powders, this was really average. For the magnesium effects, it didn’t provide the same level of calm and relaxation support as my magnesium glycinate pills. I woke up in the middle of the night almost every night. The only other supplements I take before bed are fiber supplements, so it was unlikely my sleep disturbance was cause by that.

    Feedback

    Magnesium citrate is better suited as a laxative. There are other forms of magnesium that are highly bioavailable and promote relaxation and sleep. I’ve been prescribed magnesium citrate for the purpose of using it as a laxative by my functional doctor (MD), so I was put off by the fact that this magnesium supplement was promoted as supporting calm and sleep. I also disliked the packaging. I don’t like that the lid was tapped. I recommend a pressure seal on the container as it prevents humidity from entering and keeps the product tamper-free. Food safety is very important when selling a consumable.

  • I can’t comment on the effectiveness of Anxiety Ally yet as I haven’t tried it long enough but the herbal coffee is so good! It almost tastes like a mix between coffee, chai and hot chocolate but in the best way possible. I’ve done a lot of research into herbalism and it’s clear that the owner knows what she’s doing, the ingredients are well studied and she doesn’t use any ingredients that don’t offer a purpose

  • High quality ingredients, tastes great, and makes me feel even better! Would definitely buy again and I’m interested in trying additional products by this company

  • I love Magic Magnesium! I’m on my second jar now so been using it for almost 2 months almost nightly and it’s amazing. It’s my favorite beverage to help me relax and unwind before bedtime. I also love the blue color (makes me feel fancy!) and I also love the subtle lemonade taste. I’ll definitely be buying more!

  • The packaging is really cute. I do enjoy the taste and I think it’s a reasonable price of the product considering costs of similar items out there.

  • amazing product, provides much needed digestive aid! I have reco'd to my sisters as well and they both love it. Truly a godsend and more affordable than others on the market.

  • Amazing clean brand! The magnesium powder really helps me unwind and get a full nights sleep.

  • Magnesium powder from WSH is magic to me, and its a clean trusted brand and product. I have tried the magnesium powder and have purchased a handful of them in the last year, and it has helped me with my sleep so well. I have anxiety, and sometimes im easy to wake up in the middle of the night and i get racing thoughts and cant go back to bed. obviously there are other factors that contribute to my sleeping and i realize what they are, however when i do have magnesium powder in my home, I love drinking it at night before bed and i fall asleep and stay asleep all night. I love doing sleep mocktails too with a little coconut water in it or sparkling water. The taste is also very subtle and nice - it has a little bit of a lemonade flavor and the color is so pretty. I recommend this product to all of my friends and family.
