Excellent taste

“This tastes so good that my kids ask for it every night! They are very picky, so I'm glad to be able to easily get all this goodness into them! I make it as a hot drink for myself before bed.  My daughter and son both get leg cramps and my son is diagnosed ADD so sometimes winding down from the day is very challenging for him. This has helped them both to settle in for bedtime and it's a product I can feel good about giving them and myself.”

I love the powder as you can adjust the dose yourself to suit your needs.  My husband and I both love it and is part of our daily routine.  We drink it in the evening before bedtime. It has helped me greatly with my metabolism and energy levels. Enjoy!”

“Within 10 mins of drinking Calm, I can feel my chest tightness lessen, my breathing slows down and my thoughts stop racing.  I also take it before bed at times and find that I have a much restful sleep and feel rested in the mornings. Bonus, I love the flavor.”

Why Natural Calm Magnesium Citrate

Everyone needs magnesium! It’s an essential mineral that’s critical to the health of every organ, muscle, bone, blood vessel, nerve, and each cell of your body. 

Yet most of us don’t get enough. That’s why symptoms of low magnesium are so common, including irritability, insomnia, tension, cramps, pain and more.

Natural Calm makes it easier — and more delicious — to get enough magnesium. 

  • Never chalky, lumpy, or fake-sweet, Natural Calm tastes like a soothing fruit tea, with nothing artificial added and no sugar
  • Fast-acting, Natural Calm is proven to be more absorbable than other leading magnesium supplements, so you feel the calm quickly
  • Trusted since 1982, Natural Calm is a top-selling magnesium supplement not only in Canada, but globally (and everywhere it’s sold, customers rave about the results)

Everything You Need to Know About Getting Started with Your Calm Routine

Ingredients in Natural Calm Magnesium

Natural Calm is made from simple, pure ingredients:

Magnesium from deep in mineral-rich waters of the ocean. Citric acid from beets sourced from Belgium. Organic fruit flavours and the naturally calorie-free herbal sweetener, stevia.

The only ingredients in our raspberry-lemon magnesium powder are:

  • Natural Calm’s proprietary magnesium citrate (made from magnesium carbonate + citric acid)

  • Organic natural raspberry and lemon flavours

  • Organic stevia

Citric acid combined with magnesium carbonate dissolved in liquid creates magnesium citrate, one of the most absorbable forms of magnesium available. (3x better absorbed than magnesium oxide.)

Natural Calm is verified non-GMO, gluten-free, and vegan. It’s also soy-free, sugar-free, free from artificial colours, preservatives, and sweeteners

How to Take Natural Calm Magnesium Citrate

Natural Calm is easy to take! And it’s flexible. 

You can add our magnesium drink mix to smoothies, juices, herbal teas… You can drink Natural Calm hot or cold, with or without food. And it’s great in the morning, afternoon, or at night!

You don’t have to worry about “doing it wrong”… Just follow these guidelines:

  1. Natural Calm becomes absorbable faster when dissolved in hot water. If you’re going to drink it right away, first dissolve it in boiling water. Then, you can drink it as a hot tea or cool it down. 

  2. For less fizz, add a small amount of hot water on top of the powder. Measure out the Natural Calm into your cup first and then add a small amount of hot water (about ¼ cup) just to cover and dissolve the magnesium citrate. This reduces the effervescence to a fun, manageable amount of fizz.

  3. Remember that Natural Calm is like lemon. It’s a “citrate”, which means it has a touch of tartness. You can add it to nearly anything as long as you keep in mind that it acts like lemon. (Keep it out of your milk and probably out of your coffee, too!)

That’s it! Now, enjoy feeling less stressed in body and mind with each sip of Natural Calm.

The Natural Calm Fizz is More than Just Fun

It’s chemistry!  When citric acid (from beets) and magnesium carbonate (from the ocean) combine in hot water to form magnesium citrate, the fizz is carbon dioxide. That’s right, it’s CO2 being released from your cup. 

You’ll know the transformation is complete when the fizzing has settled and the Natural Calm is crystal clear, not cloudy.

There’s no harm in drinking Natural Calm before the CO2 fizzes entirely away. You’ll get more out of Natural Calm, though, if you give it a moment to finish transforming into magnesium citrate. 

So, relax and watch the bubbles… then, feel the CALM!

Find the Right Dose of Magnesium Citrate for You

Your magnesium needs are unique. You may need a bit more or less than average based on factors including:

  1. Your diet: The best sources of magnesium are unrefined plant foods, and most people don’t get enough. If your diet includes processed foods, alcohol, caffeine, sugars, and even animal proteins, you may need more magnesium.
  2. Your lifestyle: Stress, exercise, sweat, and some medications can increase your need for magnesium every day. If you take a calcium supplement, you may need more magnesium.
  3. Your size, gender & age: Every cell in your body needs magnesium, and bigger, taller people do need more magnesium. Men tend to need more, but women are more often deficient and need more during pregnancy.


To help with magnesium deficiency, start with a dose of Natural Calm at the lower end of the range for your age and stage and gradually increase.

Signs You’re Getting Enough Magnesium

Once you start taking Natural Calm, the best way to gauge the right dose is by looking at symptoms. If you’re getting enough magnesium you should be:

  • Falling asleep faster & staying asleep longer
  • Waking refreshed & feeling more energized
  • Feeling calmer, less stressed & less anxious
  • Noticing less body tension & tightness
  • Feeling relief from cramping & pain (if you have those)
  • Comfortably regular

Still feeling symptoms of magnesium deficiency? Increase your dose of Natural Calm, but split it into two doses, one in the morning and one at night. 

Magnesium is eliminated from the body daily, and if you take too much magnesium at any one time, you may experience loose stools. 

Smaller, more frequent doses of Natural Calm are the best way to keep your magnesium levels high — and your symptoms of deficiency low.

    “I have been on Natural Calm for a year now and it has truly been a blessing. I will not go without it…I had so many different health issues that Calm has helped me to get through.”
    Scott

  3. Vicki

    “My husband and I have been using the Natural Calm Magnesium, Magnesium spray and Heavenly sleep. Love it all. I have been telling my family, friends, co workers, everyone how much these products have improved my life. For three years I battled with chronic pain, extreme fatigue, and depression and much more. My general health has dramatically improved. I no longer go to bed at six, I have more energy, my pain has decreased, my bowels work better, don’t feel depressed (actually was able to stop taking anti depressants).”
    Vicki

  4. Andy S.

    “I’m a 35 year old male, and once I hit 33 I began suffering from heart palpitations. Sometimes hundreds a day. Multiple visits to health specialists revealed it was nothing serious, but rather a common condition requiring no medication. Essentially an annoyance. To me, it was very uncomfortable and disrupted my life in a huge way. It’s very scary feeling your heart ‘skip’ a beat so often. It literally would take my breath away. I little over a year ago I happened to find an article on-line that mentioned Magnesium has been found to help this condition in some instances. I purchased your product (Natural Calm Magnesium Citrate), and within 2 weeks I stopped having palpitations. Completely! It’s now been over a year and I take a teaspoon morning and night. Truly life-changing and I would have never thought the solution would be so simple 🙂 I’m not certain if the cause was stress, and your product has reduced that, or whether I had low magnesium…but I don’t care! I feel great. I’ll be a life-long customer! Sincerely,”
    Andy S

  5. Darlene Remus

    “I have been using Natural Calm Magnesium Powder for approximately a year now. The main reasons I decided to try this product was to help with my elevated stress levels and sleep disturbances. I have a 20 year-old son who is diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, and as you can imagine it can be very stressful at times. I take this product 1 hour before bed and, just the taste and smell of the lemon-raspberry relaxes me. I do feel that my sleep issues have improved. Yes, I would recommend this product. Thanks!!”
    Darlene Remus

  6. Kerry Holt

    “I am a 42 year old and have had migraines and insomnia for years. With recommendations of a friend decided to try Natural Calm six months ago. Since then I fall asleep more easily and stay asleep and wake up refreshed. I am not as uptight or stressed as well. My migraines are less frequent and less severe. Finding this product has helped me in so many ways. I look forward to drinking my glass of natural calm each day because it has a great taste. Thanks so much for making an amazing product.”
    Kerry Holt

  7. Cathy Boynton

    “Thank you for such an excellent product. I don’t consume any dairy products and even though I take a multivitamin daily, my calcium intake was not sufficient to maintain good health. For a few months I was waking up in the night with excruciating cramps in my legs and feet. Sometimes I would be up for hours trying to work them out. I would cry, the pain was so bad. After a bit of research I learned that deficiencies in calcium and potassium could be a cause. A dear friend recommended natural calm. I started drinking it twice a day and I can honestly tell you that I have not had a cramp since. I would recommend this product to anyone.”
    Cathy Boynton

  8. R. Darling

    “I’m a twenty five year old female, and I’ve been using Natural Calm (lemon flavour! yum!) for the past few weeks. It has changed my life entirely. It was prescribed to me via my chiropractor. After years and years of traditional doctors prescribing hard drugs (anxiety medications and sleeping pills), I was still suffering heavily from nightmares. I never slept well. I was an insomniac. I was anxious constantly from lack of sleep. It had deeply affected my outlook on life and my ability to function in everyday activities. Natural Calm has completely altered my inability to sleep. I fall asleep, dream well, and wake up rested. I’m no longer anxious. I can’t even express how surprised I was, after years of being prescribed hard drugs by my trusted traditional doctors, that something so simple could be so life-changing. I can’t thank you enough. Natural Calm has changed my life for the better.”
    R. Darling

  9. Roger and Joyce Lambert

    “I’m 61 years old and my wife Joyce is 59. We have been on a strict vitamin regime for over 40 years and are in good health. However, my wife Joyce has never been able to rid herself of the “restless leg” syndrome that she has suffered most of her life; that is until now. Natural Calm has apparently allowed Joyce to sleep without the leg problem and so far, she has been free of it for almost a month now. I prepare a Natural Calm tea for her as well as myself one half hour before going to bed and it seems to work well. I also get a better sleep now. I will be getting the rest of my family to try it.”
    Roger and Joyce Lambert

  10. Irene Mielnik

    “When I started to take the Natural Calm as directed, I made only one change. I stopped taking my calcium supplements. To my amazement, within one week….I started to notice a dramatic change and almost…IMMEDIATELY! The ‘charlie horses,’ disappeared! NO LEG CRAMPING! I slept throughout the night without the painstaking leg cramps waking me up and felt more refreshed upon awakening rather than feeling fatigued! The headaches became minimal and almost down to one a week, instead of several a day! The second week and third week only got better and I have been on it for a month now. The only change I made was to not take calcium supplements any longer but started taking Natural Calm. What a HUGE difference this has made!
    Irene Mielnik

  11. Kim Davis

    “I started taking Natural Calm on the 19th of October and to date, I am migraine free. I am a person that averaged 3 to 4 migraines per month. I know it is only been a short time but it has been a very long time that I have had a break from my headaches two months in a row.”
    Kim Davis

  12. Laura

    “I have to tell you that the first night I slept a full 5 hours straight! Unbelievable for me, that hasn’t happened in YEARS! My husband actually said I was snoring at one point!! I am feeling good. I don’t get up with my hip aching and my fibromyalgia pain has lessened and I have only been taking Natural Calm for 4 days. Thank you SO much for giving me the samples and the encouragement.”
    Laura

  13. Susan Kippen

    “So many people have benefited from Natural Calm. Everybody has just wonderful results from it. Situation after situation where back problems go away and sleep problems are handled and depression clears away. I haven’t found anything like it! I’m very happy with it and so are all these other people. One guy who was in pain and on drugs for fibromyalgia is off drugs now.”
    Susan Kippen (South Shore Natural Healing store)

  14. Joe L.

    “About 5 hours ago I took 1 teaspoon of it and had an incredibly good reaction. I felt so relaxed yet amazingly alert and clearheaded. I had been suffering from pretty tough stress at work, had the beginnings of elevated blood pressure, frequent headaches and was starting to get depressed. Just a short while after taking the product I felt so soothe and relieved that I had to write you and tell you. I have tried several different natural products for stress and depression including St. John’s Wort, Kava, and the amino acid GABA as well as numerous formulas that I picked up in health food stores but I never had such a strong positive reaction from one product. This stuff is great!”
    Joe L

  15. J.B.

    “Natural Calm has lowered my blood pressure from high 165/110 to Normal range (130/85) in 4 weeks after nobody else including doctors, specialists, and health professionals could help.”
    J.B.

  16. Rick H.

    “I get chronic headaches. The only thing that would relieve them was taking huge amounts of liquid minerals. I was told that I was taking too much calcium without enough magnesium. The Natural Calm handled the headaches right away. They stopped completely after starting my first dosage of Natural Calm.”
    Rick H.

  17. M.T.

    “I’ve noticed an amazing difference. I have Fibromyalgia, and after starting to use Natural Calm I noticed an Immediate change in energy. I’m ironing clothes and I haven’t ironed in ages!”
    M.T.

  18. Debbie J.

    ” I have had 4 heart attacks, and also have been suffering weekly from angina attacks (chest pains). 6 months ago I started to take Natural Calm daily. Since, I haven’t had any heart or angina attacks, and my irregular heartbeats have stopped entirely. My energy level is higher, and I sleep much better at night. ”
    Debbie J.

  19. Tom G.

    “I tried your product Natural Calm for the first time the other day before going to bed. Honest to God, I slept 11 hours through! Wow! I hadn’t been able to do that for 11-12 years. In short, I found this product actually worked like nothing I’ve tried before. Thanks.”
    Tom G.

  20. S.H.

    “I have been using Natural Calm for about 10 years. When I started taking it, I was suffering from backaches and visited a chiropractor every week. I haven’t had a backache in so long, I can’t remember when they stopped.”
    S.H.

  21. Sara D.

    “I have been suffering from chronic PMS migraines for years. Natural Calm has brought me great relief and helped with other PMS conditions as well.”
    Sara D.

  22. C.S.T.

    “I had a very difficult pregnancy and the midwife had me take Natural Calm to stop the contractions. Well, with a mixture of Natural Calm and rest, the baby not only made it to her due date, but was one week late! I am so grateful.”
    C.S.T.

  23. John Z.

    “For years my legs would twitch at night and on occasion cramp despite taking both calcium and magnesium for over 15 years. The twitching would be so violent that it would shake the bed and wake up my wife. On occasion I would be awakened and the muscle convulsions in my legs would be strong enough to shake my whole body. A friend told me about Natural Calm. After a week the muscle twitches and convulsions stopped. I slept a lot better and woke up refreshed, like I actually had a good night’s sleep. I have also noticed my chiropractic adjustments holding well.”
    John Z.

  24. Anne Fewel

    “A few years ago, I was having severe joint and muscular aches and pains where I had limited mobility in shoulder and knee joints and had to hold onto something to hobble out of bed, limping. I tried Natural Calm and in 24 hours I had great relief. Within 48 hours the symptoms completely disappeared. I took the daily dosage until the deficiency was handled and now I only take about a teaspoon a day and have not had recurring symptoms.”
    Anne Fewel

  25. A.J.

    “My chiropractor recommended Natural Calm for menstrual symptoms. I cannot believe everyone does not use this product! I have been feeling stressed and overwhelmed since my last child was born two and a half years ago, and it’s been getting much worse in the last few months. I drank Natural Calm last night and could feel an immediate change. All the excess fluid left me, my back stopped hurting and I cannot remember the last time I have been this relaxed. For the first time in months, I woke up this morning not feeling tired and dreading the day ahead. Thank you for this product. It’s amazing.”
    A.J.

  26. J.H.

    “My story is rather simple. I always had heart palpitations, dating back to my high school days. Over the years, I would always get them—sometimes they were quite bad. My MD did not know the cause. I had a battery of tests. The results yielded no new information. They weren’t life threatening but were very uncomfortable and really made my life difficult. I started taking Natural Calm. The palpitations were reduced immediately. I now no longer have episodes at all. My MD is happy for me and actually wasn’t surprised that magnesium made the difference. In addition, I really do feel calmer. I also realized that, as an active athlete, I probably needed more magnesium than most people. So Natural Calm is really what I needed.”
    J.H.

  27. J.D.

    “I am a 34-year-old wife and mother of three great kids. I have suffered for seven years with migraine headaches, chronic sinusitis and muscle aches. I have been a walking medicine cabinet (painkillers, antibiotics) for several years now. Recently, a relative suggested that I have my colon cleaned. Out of desperation to get my body healthier, I made an appointment. The doctor introduced me to your product on a trial basis. I feel like a new woman! Your product, Natural Calm, really put me over the edge as far as what I’d call a miracle! I have had no headaches or muscle aches in two weeks since I started taking your supplement. I notice a profound difference in my overall health from day to day. I was so impressed I called the nutritional consultant’s office and told them how great I felt! I am on my way to purchase more Natural Calm. Thank you so much for giving me my life back. My husband and kids thank you too!”
    J.D.

  28. C.M.

    “I was troubled with mood swings, irritability, crying spells, lots of tension and all the rest of the menopausal symptoms. The clerk at the health food store suggested I try your Natural Calm. Believe me, it has worked wonders! I’m feeling like my old self once again and I’m able to cope with the high stress that is involved in caretaking of an elderly parent. Thank you for this wonderful product. ”
    C.M.

  29. P.S.

    “Four years ago, I was diagnosed with breast cancer…. I was experiencing very restless sleeping, being fatigued and in a great deal of muscle pain. After just two days of taking Natural Calm, I couldn’t believe I was in no pain. Sleeping very well and lots of energy. You can only imagine how ecstatic I was—feeling normal again. This product is beyond words for me! I don’t miss a day without taking it twice.”
    P.S

  30. Brenda H.

    “ From completely curing my RLS that I suffered with for over 6 years, to helping me ‘calm’ before bed when I work nights, there are so many benefits to Natural Calm! You won’t know them until you try it. Dedicated user for over 3 years now. TY!”

  32. Leah W.

    “I just wanted to say your product has saved my life. I have been prescribed every sleeping pill in the book. Only to leave me irritable and feeling out of my head the next day and even more tired. My mom’s naturopath recommended this product to her a couple years ago and she shared it with me. I have been taking this since. Seriously, I can’t express how much this has helped me in my life. I can finally feel like myself and put 100% into my career and life. Thank you for your product!”
    Leah W.

    • Anna O’Byrne

      Heather, thank you for sharing! So glad to hear it has helped you with sleep:)

  36. Diana

    it is good for someone with arthritis?

    • Anna O’Byrne

      Hi Diana,

      Yes, magnesium can help with arthritis! Magnesium strengthens bones; maintains nerve and muscle function; regulates heart rhythm and blood sugar levels, and helps maintain joint cartilage.

      Thank you,

      Anna

    Can you take natural clam at the same time as other vitamins?

    • Anna Bolton O’Byrne

      Yes! Just avoid taking magnesium at the same time as iron supplements. Thank you!

  39. Deepa mala

    Hi does it help for kids (5yrs) tics ?

    • Anna Bolton O’Byrne

      Magnesium has been known to help with tics, spasms, twitches, palpitations, restless leg syndrome and more. Give it a try!

  40. Meg

    About a year ago Natural Calm became well known around our company and great partners. I sampled the product before a program started where we were giving out samples of this product during the summer. I must say, since the first night I tried Natural Calm, I have not missed a night of enjoying this product.
    I am 24 years old and find it hard to fall asleep before 10:30pm unless I absolutely exhaust myself, but after drinking a cup of this before bed – my sleeps have been better than ever!

  41. Trisha Siwek

    I am so happy with this! I get better sleep. I was taking anxiety meds for panic attacks in my sleep. Since I started taking this every night I no longer have to take my medication. I get amazing sleep and feel so relaxed at night. I can’t live without this stuff! So happy it was recommended to me from a family member! Also helps with bowel movement.

  42. Caron

    Natural Calm has been nothing short of life changing. I have been diagnosed with spinal stenosis, arthritis and anxiety.

    I take it mainly for severe nighttime muscle cramping in my legs and back. If I forget to take it and wake up with cramping, a warm mug of Natural Calm relieves my symptoms in literally minutes and allows me to get back to sleep for a relaxed and calm night.

    Sometimes, I also take it during the day for the same reasons. My need for the product and a higher dosage fluctuates due to stress and other life variables.

    Natural calm has also alleviated my need to take addictive anxiety medications.

    I have recommended this product to so many people because it has improved my life enormously. The ONLY other vitamin/medication that I take is D3 so I’m sure that this product is effective.

    Some friends try it with great results, others won’t even attempt. You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make them drink.

    For me, Natural Calm has been a true , life changing gift.

  43. Robin

    I have restless leg syndrome I was told there was nothing out in the world to help me keep my legs restless,and crampy ,my mother in law gave me samples I trued them oh my instintly gone I calmed right down I was almost in tears thank you for this

    Super thankful for the few little extra samples and the product is fantastic! I think I like my tangerine flavour beat but this one was pretty good.

  46. Sarah-Lyn

    Gives me maximum joint relief…no muscle cramps at night…

  47. Caitlin S.

    First bottle arrived damaged, a replacement was sent out so quickly and arrived perfectly intact. I cannot believe how much the Calm Magnesium helps me sleep, and I don’t wake up feeling groggy. I absolutely am thrilled!

  48. Meghan

    I make this each night as a hot drink and then sleep amazingly the entire night. If I wake up, I will go right back to sleep with little effort. Drinking this supplement has been a game changer for my sleep…. And energy the next day.

  49. Laurie R.

    My only comment is that this product is very sweet. Even with only a level tsp., but otherwise no issues.

  50. Kim S.

    This is my favourite, although I do like all the flavours

    I am amazed at the results that I have seen with respect to the ability to get good sleep after taking the Natural Calm.
    My body takes a bit longer to absorb things so I take this after dinner so that my bed time at 9:00 p.m. is the calmest! There is also the ability to have different flavours so that you can change it up!

    Love this flavour! I’ve been using this product for only a week and am already noticing a better quality sleep. Thank you Natural Calm!!

  93. Bianca Seeley

    This taste delicious. I feel calmer and more relaxed and focused. I love how easy it is to prepare. Usually the magnesium powders I have tried in the past had an aweful taste to it but the rasberry lemon flavor is refreshing.

  94. Lauren Russell

    I’ve been really enjoying this product. It has increased my mood, energy, and I’ve incorporated it as a normal step in my routine.

    Well creeped upto that age of… well old enough, sleeping getting worse with shift work, aging, tense, anxiety. I was recommended to take a magnesium supplement, so while stocking up at costco came across powder form raspberry lemon flavor.
    First week i can honestly say i have noticed a deeper sleep, not as anxious, but yet alert positive thinking change will continue to use.

    I’ve been mixing the flavourless powder with caffeine free herbal tea for over a year now. It’s such an important part of my bedtime routine. This little “miracle” drink helps me relax and fall asleep so much better than anything else I’ve tried. I highly recommend it to anyone trying to find something to aid in falling and staying asleep!

  99. Kathryn V.

    If you had told me a few months ago that a warm fizzy drink would become a beloved part of my bedtime routine, I would have thought you were off your gourd. But past-hypothetical-me was totally wrong! Love this product, and I love the Natural Calm company. Delivery is always so quick, and they include a handful of sample-sized packets as well, which is fantastic. I’ll be happy to continue as a regular customer!

    Two weeks ago I purchased a 452 grams bottle of unflavoured CALM. Disappointingly, the taste and smell of the magnesium powder were, to the best that I can describe, like that of fragrant soap. It was the first time this had happened and I called the company for explanations. They had no explanations but sent me a replacement bottle, which, unfortunately, had the same taste and smell. Now I cannot trust the product and will not use it. It could be contaminated with something I do not know. The company is not replying to my emails and phone messages, so I’m leaving this review.

  106. Michael beauchamp

Frequently Asked Questions

Magnesium Citrate

What is magnesium citrate?

Magnesium citrate is the mineral, magnesium, paired with citric acid. In supplements, magnesium always comes paired with an acid, an amino acid, or another compound.

 

In Natural Calm, magnesium citrate is created when you dissolve powdered magnesium carbonate (a mineral sourced from deep in the ocean) with citric acid in water. 

Can I try a sample of Natural Calm?

We have a selection of samples available for a low cost in our shop.  

Why should I choose a magnesium drink over a tablet?

Magnesium supplements in liquid form are the best absorbed. Tablets, while convenient, are widely-known to be less effectively absorbed. Your body only uses a fraction of the magnesium in a tablet.

What is magnesium citrate used for?

Magnesium citrate is used as a supplement to increase magnesium levels in the bloodstream. 

Every cell in your body requires magnesium and it’s eliminated daily, which means you need to replace your magnesium stores daily as well. Magnesium citrate is a fast-acting, highly-absorbably magnesium supplement.

Can I get the magnesium I need from food?

It is  difficult to get the magnesium we need from food alone. Health Canada confirms that most Canadians aren’t getting enough magnesium from diet. This is no surprise given that magnesium is only found in significant quantities in seeds, nuts, legumes and leafy greens. Most North Americans don’t eat enough of these foods to meet their requirements. For a listing of magnesium in foods see EatRightOntario.ca.

What does 'ionic' mean and why does it matter?

Ionic means that the molecules have gained or lost an electron and seek to attach to something to balance out the electron count. Research has shown that ionic minerals are more easily absorbed by the body. That’s because “the amount of magnesium your tissues can use is based on how soluble the magnesium product is and the amount of elemental or ionic magnesium that is released” (Dr. Carolyn Dean, The Magnesium Miracle, p. 243) Natural Calm magnesium citrate powder becomes ionic when prepared as directed, for fast, effective absorption at the cellular level.

Ingredients

Is Natural Calm organic?

Natural Calm magnesium is sourced from deep in the ocean. It is a naturally-derived product, but because it is harvested, not produced, it is never certified organic. The fruit flavours used are 100% organic.

Is there salt in Natural Calm magnesium?

There is no sodium in Natural Calm. Magnesium citrate is called an organic “magnesium salt” in chemistry terms, like sodium chloride (table salt), but the two are very different. “In chemistry, a salt is an ionic compound that can be formed by the neutralization reaction of an acid and a base. Salts are composed of related numbers of cations (positively charged ions) and anions (negative ions) so that the product is electrically neutral (without a net charge).” (Wikipedia)  These component ions can be inorganic, such as chloride, or organic, such as citrate.

What is the source of Natural Calm Magnesium?

Natural Calm magnesium is extracted from ocean water. The citric acid in Natural Calm Magnesium Citrate Powder is sourced from sugar beets. 

Does Natural Calm contain any sugar, calories or carbohydrates?

There is 0.015 g of stevia per teaspoon of flavoured Natural Calm (no sugar); there are no sweeteners or flavours added to the unflavored version.

Flavoured Natural Calm contains 0.7 calories per teaspoon, and 0.3 grams of carbohydrates. Unflavoured Natural Calm contains zero calories and zero carbs.

Does Natural Calm contain corn or any of it's derivitives?

The unflavoured version of our Natural Calm does not contain any corn or derivatives of corn. The flavouring used in the other varieties (Raspberry Lemon, Sweet Lemon, Orange, Watermelon, and Cherry) does have a sub-ingredient that is derived from corn (organic maltodextrin); however, there are no corn proteins in the product and all flavours of Natural Calm have been verified as non-GMO by the Non-GMO Project. 

Why does it say magnesium carbonate in the ingredients listing? I thought Natural Calm was Magnesium Citrate?

The final product when consumed is magnesium citrate. It is created with a proprietary blend of magnesium carbonate and citric acid. Once added to water, a chemical reaction binds the two together and creates ionic magnesium citrate. As per Health Canada regulation we must list the ingredients in their elemental state.

What is the source of the citric acid in Natural Calm?

The citric acid is derived from verified non-GMO sugar beets sourced from Belgium.

Dosing

How much magnesium do I need?
The recommended magnesium intake for adults is given by Eat Right Ontario as between 310 and 400 mg per day. Other experts recommend a higher intake daily. For example, Dr. Carolyn Dean suggests that adults consume 3 – 4 mg of magnesium per pound of body weight and that pregnant women and children consume 4 – 5 mg of magnesium per pound of body weight.   Daily needs will vary based on lifestyle, health, and stage of life.
How much Natural Calm should I take?

One teaspoon of Natural Calm magnesium citrate delivers 205 milligrams of magnesium: about half of what men need every day, and about 2/3 of a woman’s required daily intake. Age, life stage, body size, gender, lifestyle, diet and health all affect how much magnesium you should take as a supplement. Pay attention to your symptoms of magnesium deficiency. Constipation and poor sleep, in particular, are two major signs that you need more magnesium.

Use

What is the best way to scoop out Natural Calm powder?

Some customers have asked us how to best scoop the powder out of the container. We find that the best method is to tip the container slightly and use a teaspoon. But it’s getting much easier with our new shorter, stockier bottles!

How do I prepare Natural Calm?

For Natural Calm’s magnesium citrate to become ionic and best absorbed, it needs to be fully dissolved in hot, preferably boiled, water. ( It can then be added to cold water or any other beverage if preferred. )

Should I take Natural Calm with or without food?

You may take Natural Calm’s magnesium with or without food depending on your stomach. It is well absorbed with food. Most people like to take Natural Calm on an empty stomach, and the vast majority of consumers prefer to take Natural Calm in the evening, about 30 minutes before bedtime. 

When should I take Natural Calm?

Magnesium is excreted daily, so ideally you should take Natural Calm morning and night. The very best method is to add Natural Calm to a large water bottle and sip slowly from morning until night. During the day, magnesium can help you to feel a steady, calm energy to meet the challenges of work and play. In the evening, magnesium helps activate melatonin, so you can get a deep and restful sleep when you need it.

My new bottle of Natural Calm is only half full. Why?

Natural Calm is sold by weight (grams or ounces), not volume. When the container is initially filled, the powder has a higher volume because of the distribution of air. Natural settling occurs, during which the air rises to the top and the powder becomes denser. 

Can I prepare Natural Calm in advance and drink it later?

Yes. Many customers do prepare Natural Calm in advance, add it to a large bottle or jug of water, and drink it throughout the day. We recommend that you refrigerate any prepared Natural Calm that is unused after one day.

Is it necessary to use hot water, or can I add Natural Calm to cold water?

When you prepare Natural Calm with hot water, the magnesium powder quickly converts to ‘ionic’ magnesium citrate. This is one of the most absorbable forms of magnesium. Many customers add cold water or juice after the fizzing has settled and the hot solution is clear. When the mixture is flat and clear, it is ready to consume.  

Technically, Natural Calm will mix with cold water, but it is more effective when mixed with hot.

Children

How is Natural Calm Kids different from your regular Natural Calm?

Natural Calm Kids is the same award-winning formula as our Natural Calm formulated for adults. The ingredients and concentration of magnesium are the same, however, the Natural Calm Kids bottle includes a chart for dosage by age, on the label. This dosage table makes Natural Calm Kids more convenient for families with children.

Is Natural Calm safe for babies and children
Caution should be taken when considering any supplement for infants or children with a medical condition. Always consult your health care practitioner. From toddlerhood to teenage years, kids can benefit significantly from Natural Calm. Often their diets are low in magnesium, and even children experience symptoms of magnesium deficiency, including constipation, poor sleep, mood disturbances, fatigue, anxiety, and more. Natural Calm Kids Calm is identical to our adult formula but provides dosing for ages 1 – 18 on the label. Kids will love the natural Raspberry-Lemon flavour, parents will love that it contains no sugar, artificial sweeteners, fake flavours or dyes.

Safety

Can I take too much magnesium?

If you take too much magnesium, as with vitamin C, the body will use what it needs and eliminate any excess. The excess will go into the colon, causing it to hydrate, where the only effect is stools that are “loose.”  Millions of people around the world use magnesium simply because of the natural, laxative properties. This would be the only side effect, and any “overdose” is safely depleted through the kidneys. In fact, magnesium is excreted daily, requiring continual replenishment. Take caution if you have kidney problems.  Because excess magnesium is detoxified through your kidneys into your colon, a weak kidney may not work well enough to properly excrete the magnesium.  People on kidney dialysis or who have severe kidney disease should consult their physician before taking any magnesium in supplement form. Anyone with IBS or loose stools should divide their Natural Calm magnesium into smaller, more frequent doses throughout the day.

Is there anyone who should not take magnesium?

People who have kidney disease, a low heart rate (i.e. less than 50), Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome, myasthenia gravis or anyone on blood thinners should consult their doctor before taking Natural Calm.

Is Natural Calm safe to take while pregnant or breastfeeding?

Yes, healthy pregnant and breastfeeding women can safely take Natural Calm magnesium. In fact, magnesium needs will increase during gestation and lactation. Enough magnesium during pregnancy may help with DNA formation and is thought to play a role in preventing complications such as pre-eclampsia. Taking Natural Calm during breastfeeding is beneficial for both mother and baby.

Can I take Natural Calm with medication?

A medically-trained professional may advise you to avoid magnesium while taking certain prescription medications, including blood thinners. If you are taking any prescription medication, please defer to medical advice.

Magnesium will interfere with the efficacy of iron supplements and antibiotics. Discontinue magnesium while on a course of antibiotics. If you take both iron and magnesium daily, take these supplements at different times of the day.

Can I take Natural Calm after it's expiration date?

We do not advise consuming or selling the product beyond its expiration date. Magnesium is a mineral and does not degrade, but the natural fruit flavours in the flavoured versions of Natural Calm have the potential to spoil in the long-term.

Does Natural Calm contain allergens?

Natural Calm does not use common allergen ingredients, however, it is prepared in a facility that processes soy, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, milk, fish, shellfish, and wheat.  The facility is operated by Nutranext, a major US supplement company with a strong commitment to safety and quality. While the equipment is sanitized after processing allergen ingredients, individuals with allergies should be aware that Natural Calm is not currently certified allergy-free.

Are there heavy metals or toxins in Natural Calm?

Natural Calm is subjected to extensive purity and safety testing to pass Health Canada standards for purity. We retain the certificates of analysis proving that Natural Calm is deemed safe and surpasses purity requirements. In the US, the HealthyLiving Foundation independently purchased and tested all Natural Calm ionic magnesium citrate formulas for chemical toxins including inorganic arsenic, cadmium and lead. Natural Calm received the Tested & Approved Seal from Healthy Living Magazine. This seal assures retailers and shoppers that awarded products are free from harmful amounts of chemical toxins including inorganic arsenic, cadmium and lead, meeting the stringent standards of California’s Prop. 65.

Does Natural Calm contain arsenic?

It is important to understand the presence of arsenic in natural products. Natural Calm magnesium comes from deep in the ocean and like any substance from the earth or water, contains trace amounts of inorganic arsenic. Arsenic is an element found in nature and in man-made products, including some pesticides. As a result, we ingest arsenic every day. All water – including treated municipal water – contains arsenic. Soils also contain arsenic and common plant foods are a source. Two tsp of Natural Calm has less than 1 microgram of inorganic arsenic. In comparison, a serving of long grain brown rice from Whole Foods has about 10 x that amount. (See http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/magazine/2012/11/arsenic-in-your-food/index.htm) Most Canadians’ “daily intake of inorganic arsenic from food would be 10.5 µg (micrograms). This contrasts with an intake of <7.5 µg (micrograms) of principally the pentavalent inorganic arsenic species in drinking water.” (From http://healthycanadians.gc.ca/publications/healthy-living-vie-saine/water-arsenic-eau/index-eng.php?page=6#a5.2) From food and water combined, you are likely getting about 20x the amount of arsenic you would ingest from a normal daily dose of Natural Calm (which is 1-2 tsp.)

Side Effects

Is Natural Calm a laxative?

Natural Calm can be used as a gentle, natural laxative. However, the laxative effect is not specific to magnesium citrate and is unrelated to the ionic status of Natural Calm. Dr. Carolyn Dean explains that “…loose stools…(are) a mechanism to release excess magnesium…Even non-laxative picometer magnesium will cause the laxative effect when you reach saturation and take more than you require.” (The Magnesium Miracle, p. 240) Whether you experience a laxative effect from magnesium depends on how much you take in a single dose. Dr. Dean explains, “If you develop loose stools while taking magnesium…it may mean you are taking too much at one time. Never take your daily magnesium all at once; four times a day is best if you’ve been experiencing diarrhea.” (The Magnesium Miracle, p. 247) Some users may welcome the gentle laxative effect. After all, up to 27% of the Canadian population suffer from chronic constipation. This does not include the population with intermittent constipation due to travel, variations in diet, medication, periodic inactivity, etc. Many users find that Natural Calm soothes the gastrointestinal system quickly and effectively. Magnesium works to regulate healthy nerve function, including the nerves of the digestive system. If a recommended dose on the bottle label is causing loose stools or diarrhea, simply cut down the dose or break it up into two or more doses through the day.

I experience a laxative effect with Natural Calm. What should I do?

Too much magnesium taken orally at one time can cause loose stools. Don’t be alarmed! Magnesium is safely excreted by healthy kidneys and loose stools are part of the elimination process.

If you are uncomfortable, simply decrease the amount of Natural Calm magnesium citrate you take at one time. For example, take smaller amounts throughout the day.

Healthy, regular bowel movements are one indicator that you are getting the right amount of magnesium.
