I just started mine too, NASTY is an understatement. OMG its horrific. I had to drink an entire bottle of Magnesium Citrate lemon flavored. It worked fast though, within 1 hour. Got a break for now, see if more is to come.

Have anyone tried the grape flavor? My local walgreens have both Grape, Cherry and Lemon Flavor. I've been debating on getting the Grape. I thought I read somewhere that someone said the grape wasn't that bad especially if you chill it first and drink it with a straw. I have to do my Oct 5th and I can hardly wait, NOT!!!!
