WomenSense WomenSense - MagSense - Berry Flavour, 400 grams
WomenSense MagSense - Berry Flavour - Magnesium Bisglycinate Formula - Magnesium is an abundant mineral in the body that is necessary for many organs and tissues to function properly. Its deficiency has been implicated in cardiovascular disease, behavioural problems, diabetes, chronic fatigue, migraine headaches, muscular complaints, osteoporosis, and premenstrual syndrome. Studies indicate that a significant number of North Americans fail to meet the recommended daily intake of magnesium. MagSense contains magnesium bisglycinate allowing for faster and more efficient absorption – in powder form.

Why people keep reordering it
- Highly absorbable forms
- Chelated forms your body takes up, instead of oxide that mostly passes through.
- Calm and recovery
- Supports muscle relaxation, sleep quality and everyday stress resilience.
- Gentle on digestion
- Formulated to skip the laxative effect of cheaper magnesium.
Best suited to: you already know the formula works for you, two people in the house taking magnesium, your evenings involve leg cramps or restless muscles.
What the research supports
One scoop gives 280 mg of magnesium as bisglycinate, plus 1560 mg of malic acid, in a strawberry and berry drink powder. The tub is 30 scoops.
Studies use 200 to 350 mg of magnesium a day.
- Muscle cramps (evidence: moderate, from randomized controlled trial)
- Muscles need enough magnesium to relax after they contract, and running low can leave them tense and twitchy. Trials at 200 to 400 mg daily report fewer, milder cramps, mostly in people who started low.
- Sleep (evidence: mixed, from randomized controlled trial, meta-analysis)
- Magnesium helps calm nervous system activity, which is why it is often taken at night. Trials on sleep are mixed and mostly small, but skew positive for people whose intake was low.
- Nerve signalling (evidence: strong, from mechanistic review)
- Nerves and muscles both rely on magnesium to fire and reset properly. Correcting a genuine shortfall restores that signalling, which is why deficiency is tied to cramping and twitching.

Is it right for you
Worth it if
- you already know the formula works for you
- at 400 g this is the restock size of the same 280 mg bisglycinate scoop, in strawberry and berry instead of citrus.
- two people in the house taking magnesium
- twice the powder of the small tub at one scoop each, and it mixes into 150 mL of water rather than needing capsules counted out.
- your evenings involve leg cramps or restless muscles
- 280 mg of elemental magnesium is a full trial level dose of the mineral with the best evidence behind that specific complaint.
Look elsewhere if
- someone new to magnesium powders
- the 200 g size first. Flavoured magnesium is a strong personal preference and a 400 g tub of a taste you dislike is a lot of powder to look at.
- anyone taking a separate B complex
- count the B6 before you buy. At 50 mg a scoop this alone is many times an adult requirement, and stacking it long term is what leads to tingling in the extremities.
- people avoiding chicory root fibre
- a capsule form of magnesium bisglycinate. There is 269 mg of inulin per scoop here, which is well tolerated by most people but not by everyone with a sensitive gut.
What to expect
Nothing dramatic on night one. Where magnesium helps, it usually reads as fewer night cramps and an easier wind down after one to two weeks of daily use. If your dietary intake was already good, there may be nothing to notice at all.
How it compares
- Compared with the 200 g orange and lime tub of the same formula
- twice the powder for a smaller step up in price, and a berry flavour instead of citrus. The tradeoff: you are committing to one flavour for months, and an opened tub of flavoured powder is a poor candidate for sitting half used at the back of a shelf.
- Compared with magnesium bisglycinate capsules
- one scoop replaces the four to six capsules a 280 mg elemental dose normally takes, and it arrives already dissolved, which is easier on an empty stomach. The tradeoff: capsules travel, have no taste and carry only magnesium. Here you also swallow the B vitamins, selenium and vitamin E whether you need them or not.
