Magnesium glycerophosphate powder

By Dr. Davis | April 25, 2020 8 Comments

There’s a relatively new form of magnesium available now in major stores: magnesium glycerophosphate in powder form.

I purchased this product from (of all places) Meijer for $11.99 (including a 50% off for second jar) and it yields a very nice, smooth tasteless texture when added to water. I have actually been enjoying the taste of water more with this form of magnesium added. Magnesium absorption from the glycerophosphate form is among the best, better than magnesium citrate, certainly better than magnesium chloride (often prescribed by doctors) and magnesium oxide. (It is unclear how it compares to malate or glycinate.)

Just to be safe and minimize the loose bowel effect, start with 1/2 teaspoon added to 8 ounces of drinking water; this provides 165 mg elemental magnesium. Drinking two 8-ounce glasses per day therefore adds 330 mg of magnesium. Increase the quantity of powder up to 1 teaspoon in 8 ounces water, if tolerated, twice per day to achieve ideal intake.

CVS also sells this form of magnesium for a similar price.

Those of you with need to restore magnesium to healthy levels rapidly, such as those with atrial fibrillation or other abnormal heart rhythms, bothersome leg cramps, migraine headaches, or osteopenia/osteoporosis, I believe that the Magnesium Water recipe that yields magnesium bicarbonate is still the best choice. But the glycerophosphate form is a nice second choice and, because it comes as a powder, is easily mixed into water or other liquids and avoids the large tablets or capsules that some people struggle with.

    This would be helpful for travel or when you can’t find the seltzer water. I prefer the seltzer mix.

    Wow, this is great. I will continue to drink the magnesium drink. But for my partner I’ll buy this. He takes 3 mag. malate capsules morning and evening. And mid day he drinks 8 oz. of mag. water. The powder will be much simpler.

    Can you please add a link to this on amazon on your marketplace? There is not a Meijer or CVS near me and when I go to Amazon or RiteAid all I can see are citrate versions in powder form.l Thanks,

      CVS has it BOGO. So with shipping it’s only like $16.00 for two: https://www.cvs.com/shop/cvs-health-high-absorption-magnesium-chelated-powder-3-oz-prodid-386700

    I found it at CVS and it is on sale – buy one, get one free. Maybe a new item for CVS. The container shows part #24310. CVS Health Magnesium Chelated Powder. 3 oz. They can order it for you or you can buy it at CVS online. I do not see this product at Amazon.

    It’s getting more and more difficult to find milk of magnesia without sodium hypochlorite added to it. The Kroger brand has now added sodium hypochlorite. CVS told me they are no longer carrying their brand of milk of magnesia. Amazon is always out of stock on the Good Sense milk of magnesia. It’s like someone is systematically taking out the sodium hypochlorite free brands of milk of magnesia. Thanks for this alternative.

      It seems to be more a case that the common supplier of the untainted magnesium hydroxide dried up, and everyone had to switch to a source that was using the bleach as a preservative in bulk imports.

      According to inquiries made by some Undoctored subscribers, the brands that used to offer unadulterated MoM are expecting fresh shipments in the near future. With any luck, they weren’t on board the containership ONE Apus.
