Is this a good buy, and sensible?

Thank you.
Here’s the one I use, for comparison purposes.
I really struggled to find one down here with no carbs.
This type of magnesium isn’t well absorbed at all. If you want to be sure you’re getting enough magnesium buy a separate magnesium supplement such as glycinate or malate which are much better absorbed. The original KetoAide recipe has magnesium citrate which is the most absorbable form of magnesium. Unfortunately oxide is the least absorbable form.
Any Aussies out there been able to find a flavoured Magnesium Citrate liquid in stores? Looking in my chemist today all I found were tablets.
Thanks. What sweetener does your cordial use? I have the no sugar Cottee’s cordial which has sucralose. (BTW What’s the final word on sucralose as a sweetener? Good or bad?)
Sweeteners (952, 950, 955)
[952] cyclamate
[950] acesulphame potassium
[955] sucralose
And yeah, not sure. I’m sure I can find people on both sides of the argument 
Sucralose isn’t as bad as a Ace K or aspartame but all sweeteners raise insulin. If your goal is weight loss you want to keep the artificial sweetener use to a minimum. My original KetoAide recipe has liquid magnesium citrate which is sweetened with saccharin. But since only a teaspoon and a half of that liquid magnesium citrate is used in a quart of water, it’s a trace amount and not enough to spike insulin.
EDIT:
I’ll continue November’s Zornfast thread if anybody wants to fast with me next week. Monday November 26 through Friday November 30th
I’m going to track myself on the November ZornFast thread instead of this KetoAide thread.
It’s more familiar to me, and I might be posting a lot so I guess it’s more appropriate over there.
Ketoaide stopped my keto flu in its tracks. Im finding that switching from a magnesium supplement in tablet form to the magnesium citrate has increased its effectiveness also. I have a few chronic diseases that end up causing muscle issues so this was a big help there. I actually appreciate that more than the help with keto flu 
@Brenda I am assuming this mixture would be fine to drink in a more concentrated form, yes? Reason being, I have a 36 oz Yeti tumbler that I would like to mix three servings in(so essentially a serving to 12 oz. of water instead of 24 oz.). I drink a lot of green tea and water by itself as well so I will be getting plenty of water.
I can’t tell ya what Brenda might say, but my guess would be that it really shouldn’t matter. I use a 20 oz. bottle every day myself, and as soon as make it the mixture up, I simply drink it straight down and then leave the house with my water only bottle. But I have done it in a simple 8 oz. cup before, and then like mentioned, just drink plenty of water afterwards. … If anything, it just going to be a bit stronger tasting in a smaller amount, where the larger amount of water will dilute it more. … If I were to carry the mixture bottle with me out the door, I think I would stick with the larger amount too, but I already drink plenty of liquids throughout the day, so just want to get the ingredients in and then just enjoy the water.
I do the same in the evening once I get home, on days I’m Fasting. So one daily and two on Fast days.
If anything just look at the amount of intake if you will be getting, if you plan on doing this daily. I haven’t crunched the numbers since I’ve been doing this for a while now (1 and 2), but think I’ve read others mentioning drinking 3 a day? But I’ve only ever done 2 myself and seems to work well for me.
Brenda has stated many times she drinks only two of the bottles per day.
Has anyone used this (or can advise if it would be ok?):

I would definitely be game for that.
