Recess Mood Powder, Magnesium L-Threonate Blend with Passion Flower, L-Theanine, Electrolytes, Magnesium Calm Support Powder Supplement - Gradient Berry 28 Serving Tub

This stuff is great. I was originally introduced to Recess in the cans at the grocery store. They are a great alternative to alcohol in the evening to relax with just basic ingredients and not super sugary like some but still taste good. I found the powder on Amazon looking for a cheaper option to the cans. It’s not quite the same as the bubbly canned version but still great. I have a carbonation thing I can use to make it bubbly if I want. It’s also an easy thing to take while traveling.

Recess Mood Powder offers a different kind of energy, calming, restorative, and easy to enjoy. With magnesium and adaptogens at its core, it’s a refreshing way to support your mood and overall well-being. Many people are deficient in magnesium, and this powder makes it simple to replenish while sipping something light and pleasant. It’s perfectly portable, making it great for travel, work, study, or nighttime relaxation. The taste isn’t too sweet and has a mild, sparkling effect that’s especially nice when cold. It blends well with water or any beverage of choice, and its subtle flavor pairs easily with other ingredients. This is a great option for anyone looking to add a little calm to their day, without the crash or overstimulation. Bring chill. Be chill.

Good flavor, takes a bit more for powder to dissolve. I do notice that I sleep better. I purchased twice and do recimmend

Tastes like a refresher. Love it and also the relaxing feeling

Didn't easily mix in water, the taste was chalky. It arrived on time. Would not purchase again as it did nothing for my sleep.

My review is about effectiveness and not flavor/taste. I started drinking the canned Recess nightly, unintentionally, and noticed how much better I was sleeping and feeling steadier mentally throughout the day. And I would feel the difference if I skipped a couple days, but eventually I kind of forgot about it until I saw the powder form at a store and resumed. Along with sleeping better I think it helps my mood through out the day and I feel sharper when I need to focus or be creative. I already take a blend of other forms of magnesium and tend to take 2x-3x the RDA because that’s what feels best, but I think my experience is a testament to how effective l-threonate is. I believe drinking it in either the carbonated or powder form has more of a placebo effect for me in the moment and that the real benefit is in consistency. This powder is great for taking it as a supplement (as opposed to drinking the can as a non alcoholic treat) and for ~$25 for 28 servings, not to mention the other ingredients, is a really good value. Magnesium l-threonate is the form that crosses the blood brain barrier, so it’s the only one that has real cognitive benefits. Recess uses a high quality form and this is a solid dose. I feel best when I use it along with several other forms of magnesium (you can get decent blends for ~$15/month) at a high dose, but staying at 250mg or less of each form. This take could be way off, but part of me thinks stacking the types like this delivers more mg l-threonate to my brain because the other forms are taking the load off of treating my other systems. Considering magnesium is one of the only supplements that every single person should be taking, and this is one of the highest quality forms available, Recess is kind of missing the mark with their marketing of this because I had to piece together just how unique of a product it is. I would have started buying it in bulk years ago if they presented it seriously as a supplement to take consistently vs a fun drink when you want to relax.

If stress were a person, it would be that one overly chatty coworker who won’t stop talking about their cat. Thankfully, Recess is here to politely escort that coworker out of your brain and replace them with a zen garden. Recess is like a spa day in a can (or bottle, depending on your vibe). With its dream team of magnesium compounds, L-theanine, and passionflower, it’s basically the Avengers of relaxation. Magnesium is there to loosen up your muscles, L-theanine is whispering “chill out” to your brain, and passionflower is gently tucking your stress into bed with a lullaby. Together, they’ve created the ultimate relaxation smoothie—minus the kale. I’ve tried Recess after work, before bed, and during that awkward moment when I realize I’ve been doom-scrolling for 45 minutes. It’s like a warm hug for your nervous system, but without the awkward small talk. Plus, it tastes like a tropical vacation, which is way cheaper than actually booking one. If you’re the kind of person who overthinks everything (hello, me), Recess is your new best friend. It’s like having a life coach, a yoga instructor, and a bartender all rolled into one delicious, stress-melting elixir. In conclusion, Recess is the MVP of relaxation. It’s professional-grade chill in a bottle, and I’m officially a fan. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to enjoy my newfound calm—preferably while lying in a hammock and pretending I’m on a beach. 10/10, would recommend to anyone who needs a break from their own brain. Cheers to less stress and more recess! 🍹✨

Flavor is decent. Definitely makes me sleepy and relaxed. But if you add it to 12oz of tonic water it nearly doubles in size instantly... like those volcano science demonstrations we did in grammar school. So now I'm cleaning up half of this sticky stuff.

Lo recomiendo muchísimo! Sirve para estar hidratado y calmado
