Your daily dose of Magnesium: Radiance Magnesium Effervescent Powder

Essential mineral  Magnesium is an all-rounder for your wellness ritual, and for good reason. This highly bioavailable supplement helps support Magnesium stores in the body – for quality sleep and relaxation. 

Ingredients:

• 3 cups filtered water - divided
• 1 cup fresh squeezed lime or lemon juice (or a combination of both)
• ½ cup Nutra Organics Natural Gelatin
• ¼ cup Radiance Magnesium Effervescent Powder
  

Method:

1. Bloom* the gelatin by adding the gelatin powder to 1 cup of cold water.Stir to combine and set aside. *Blooming is the process where gelatin dissolves in liquid.
2. Meanwhile, to a medium-large pot, add the remaining water and freshly squeezed lime (and/or lemon juice), then bring to a gentle simmer.
3. Remove from heat, and add the bloomed gelatin mixture until dissolved.
4. Add the magnesium powder and whisk; the mixture will bubble and foam up slightly (this is due to the bicarbonate soda mixing with the citrus).Continue to stir until the bubbles have gone and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
5. Pour the mixture through a sieve into a dish (or your favourite moulds), and refrigerate until set.
6. Once set, cut into pieces and store in fridge. Consume within 10 days.
