The right amount of water-soluble magnesium supplement depends on how much elemental magnesium a serving provides. Follow the product’s serving directions rather than judging by the total weight of powder, and include any other magnesium supplements you take.
A water-soluble magnesium supplement is not a sleep medicine, and research does not show that it improves sleep for everyone. Taking it at bedtime has no established advantage over taking it at another time.
A water-soluble magnesium supplement may help if cramps are related to magnesium deficiency, but it is not a reliable fix for every cramp. Exercise, dehydration, and other causes can also contribute.
Yes, you can take a water-soluble magnesium supplement on an empty stomach if its label allows it. Some people find magnesium upsetting to the stomach, so taking it with food may be more comfortable.
Not necessarily; dissolving a water-soluble magnesium supplement in water does not automatically make it better absorbed than a tablet. Absorption varies with the magnesium form and product, so compare the elemental magnesium and directions on each label.
Yes, a water-soluble magnesium supplement can cause loose stools or diarrhea, particularly when the amount is too high for you. The likelihood also varies by magnesium form, so do not exceed the product’s serving directions.
Dissolve a water-soluble magnesium supplement in the amount of liquid specified on its label and wait until it has dissolved before drinking. Use water unless the product directions say otherwise; powders and effervescent versions may have different instructions.
Not always; magnesium can reduce the absorption of some medicines, including certain antibiotics and thyroid medication. If you take prescription medicines or have kidney disease, ask your doctor or pharmacist how to use the supplement safely.
Daily use of a water-soluble magnesium supplement can be appropriate when you follow its directions and account for magnesium from other supplements. Taking more than directed can cause digestive side effects, so avoid increasing the serving on your own.
Keep a water-soluble magnesium supplement tightly closed in a cool, dry place after opening. Moisture can make powder clump or cause effervescent products to react, so follow the package’s storage instructions and use it by its stated expiration date.

To burn the 13 calories in 1 teaspoon (small) (5 g):

Times are calculated with the MET equation for a 70 kg adult. Actual burn varies with your weight, age and pace.
A water-soluble magnesium supplement is a powdered product intended to be mixed into water and taken as a supplement, rather than eaten as a dish. Its flavour and how readily it dissolves depend on the particular formula, so products can vary in how they taste and feel when prepared. Stir it into water according to the package directions.
People may fit it into a morning routine or take it at another convenient time; follow the label for serving size and frequency. A small teaspoon is about 5 g. The nutrition table lists 62 g of carbohydrate and 250 calories per 100 g, with no protein or fat, so it is not simply a source of magnesium by weight. Mixing it with plain water is an uncomplicated option, especially if you want to avoid adding extra sweeteners.
Medium
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Low
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
