Wooden Spoon Herbs Review: Magic Magenium is Legit
If you’re riddled with nervous energy, can’t sleep well or just have bad habits like popping caffeine gummies, adding a magnesium supplement to your diet could be extra good. I’ve been through all the topical magnesium oils and horse-sized pills with meh-level results. That’s why I decided to try and review Wooden Spoon Herbs Magic Magnesium.
I wasn’t expecting to like it as much as I did, but sheesh—it’s GREAT.
What is Wooden Spoon Herbs Magic Magnesium?
Magnesium, and magnesium supplements like Wooden Spoon Herbs, is known for having a calming effect. It also supports gut health and muscular strength. It’s also known to support bone and dental wellness. Perhaps most important to me though, is the science behind this powerful mineral supporting women’s health. It even staves off bloating and depression. I’m down for anything that helps me skip compression leggings and sadness, frankly.

This USDA Organic-certified supplement comes in an easy-to-mix powder format that dissolves instantly in any water temperature. It has a light lemonade flavor, is totally gluten-free, vegan and non-GMO. The company is even woman-owned.
Each serving provides 200mg of magnesium citrate. It’s sweetened with monkfruit, not sugar, so you don’t have to worry about going bonkers with carbs or inflammatory ingredients. The formula also boasts organic blue spirulina, lending it the bright and cheerful color that so many people rave about. I’m one of those people. by the way.
How to use Wooden Spoon Herbs Magic Magesium
The brand’s instructions say to use one teaspoon daily in eight to 12 ounces of water. They don’t specify whether the water should be hot or cold, so I tried it both ways. Adding a spoonful to the bottom of a glass and then filling it with ice-cold water, stirring and sipping immediately was my favorite way to enjoy Wooden Spoon Herbs.
If you’re dealing with a sore throat or just cold from a long winter day, it makes a nice lemony tea when combined with hot water, too. But to be totally honest, the bright blue color can be a little jarring in a tea cup.
My honest Wooden Spoon Herbs review
It’s incredibly easy to use and genuinely tastes like lemonade, only not quite as sweet as typical recipes. If anything, it tastes more like lemonade with about 90% less sugar. That’s perfect for me, because I don’t like overly sweet drinks. The blue color is also king of exciting. The powder turns from a soft, very pale white-blue to a full on Finding Nemo shade almost as soon as you add water.

I experimented with powder-to-water ratios, finding that little less than a teaspoon per 12-ounce glass of water actually suited my tastebuds best. Sure, you can go full monty with the heaping teaspoon that Wooden Spoon Herbs suggests on the packaging and website, but I don’t need that much to achieve a good flavor and excellent health results.
It should also be noted that I’m a woman, about 5’8” and 150 pounds. If you’re significantly bigger or smaller, you might want to adjust your dosage—but talk to a doctor.
Overall, the effects of this magnesium supplement could be felt same-day. I didn’t have to wait long at all. On days when I took Wooden Spoon Herbs I noticed falling asleep faster and with less of the chaos that results from pre-sleep anxiety.
The transition from soft white-blue powder to electric-blue drink is instant
My mind races, but less when I have a glass of Wooden Spoon Herbs at some point in the late afternoon. That’s also the key, I noticed. Taking it too close to bedtime seemed to dampen the effects—and the same for taking it too early in the day. The sweet spot for me is somewhere between 3 and 6 p.m., usually with a light snack like fruit or nuts.
Pros:
Easy to use dissolvable formula
Won’t clump—even in ice cold water
Great lightly-sweet lemonade flavor
Fun blue color from all-natural algae
Modest price point
Cons:
If you don’t like lemonade, you’re out of luck. It’s the only flavor.
Final verdict
I got my first jar of Wooden Spoon Herbs Magic Magnesium as a gift, but I ripped through the jar in about six weeks because I thought it was exceptionally good. I’m now eagerly waiting for it to come back in stock so I can order a few more jars.
Buy it. You won’t regret it.
The only caveat: the blue spirulina in the formula is mostly for color and flair. If you’re looking to add more sea plants to your diet, you’ll want to supplement with Irish sea moss gel or another similar product.
Rating: 9.5/10
Where to buy Wooden Spoon Herbs Magic Magnesium
Right now you can only buy Wooden Spoon Herbs on the brand’s website, where a jar of Magic Magnesium sells for a modest $26. It’s easily one of the best gifts under $50 for health nuts (and anxiety-riddling millennials like myself), but you’ll want to hurry up. It tends to sell out regularly, and they have a hard time keeping it in stock.
