Scored magnesium gummies at Costco – too good to be true?

Honestly, I've been using the Kirkland magnesium gummies for a few months now. I'm a meditation newbie, but I do notice they help me chill before bed. I think big box stores can negotiate lower prices, so quality is still top notch. Just check the label for magnesium type – I prefer glycinate, but citrate is okay. If it's oxide, that's a pass for me.

The real question is do they taste good? I've had some magnesium gummies that taste like chalky cardboard. If they're the ones I think they are (orange and raspberry?), they're pretty decent. I got a bottle at Target on clearance and they were fine. Price doesn't always mean bad – sometimes it's just overstock.

Quality isn't just about price – it's about third-party testing and bioavailability. I've analyzed the label on those Costco ones. They use magnesium citrate, which is decent. The dose per gummy is lower, so you might need two. But for that price, you're getting a solid deal if you don't mind a bit of added sugar or tapioca syrup. I'd say it's a steal, but check for heavy metals if you're that worried.

Thanks everyone! I feel better about grabbing them. I'll double-check the magnesium type and maybe do a bit of research on their testing. The taste seemed fine from the sample – I think they had a sugar coating. Appreciate the input!
