Just curious.. the natural calm instructions tell you to mix it with hot water and let it fizz.. wondering if it makes any difference whether it fizzes or not?
personally i like the taste of it in cold water better.

You can chill it after it fizzes. Or have it fizz in a small amount of hot water then add cold after its done. I forget what chelate the natural calm uses but what ever it is it's there to make it more bioavailable. The reaction is probably releasing carbon dioxide which probably making the Mg chelate more acidic (grabbing a H ion) and that makes it easier for your body to absorb. Technally nothing is happening to the Mg itself, but the accompanying ions are what make the metal bioavailable so you should let the reaction happen. Though now that I think about it, the reaction could probably could happen when it heats up in your stomach. The only way to really know is to monitor your serum Mg levels but that's too crazy, so I just use warm water. |

Per the Natural Calm FAQ: How do I have to prepare Natural calm? Natural Calm works better with boiling hot water to activate it. Many people only use hot water, but the hotter, the better. The hot water activates the powder and puts the magnesium in an ionic form that enables almost 100% absorption (also called bioavailability). I live in a place that is very hot. Do I have to drink it as a hot beverage? No - put the Natural Calm powder in a cup and put one ounce of boiling water. After it finishes efflorescing (bubbling) then add cold water. |
