Hey everyone! I've been taking magnesium gummies for sleep (desperate parent of a toddler here 😴) and I'm obsessed with the mixed berry flavor from my current brand. But I tried the citrus ones last week and they were SO bitter - like chewing on lemon rinds! I need to reorder soon and want to branch out. What's the consensus on the best flavor? Not citrus, please!

Totally feel you on the citrus - some brands use way too much peel oil! As a fitness pro, I take these post-workout. My go-to is raspberry-lemonade from Nature's Way - it's tangy but sweet, not bitter. The berry flavors are usually safe bets though. Have you tried any with tropical flavors? I've heard mango is popular.

Fellow fitness pro here! I rotate between brands for variety. If you love berry, you might like the blackberry-acai from Olly - it's rich without being too sweet. Avoid anything labeled 'zesty citrus' or 'sour lemon' - those are the bitter culprits. Pro tip: check if they use natural flavors vs. artificial - makes a difference in aftertaste!

Thanks both! Raspberry-lemonade sounds promising if it's not bitter like straight citrus. And blackberry-acai - yum! I'll check those out. Anyone tried the strawberry or cherry ones? My toddler steals mine sometimes (oops) so bonus if it's kid-friendly flavor 😅

Strawberry is usually a crowd-pleaser! The Garden of Life ones taste like strawberry candy tbh. Cherry can be hit or miss - sometimes medicinal tasting. If toddler-approved matters, maybe avoid anything with 'tart' in the description. Let us know what you pick!
