Magic Milk powders are warm, milky herbal drinks that sit in the shop's Weight Gainer category. This guide explains what is in them and how the brands say to prepare them.
What a Magic Milk powder is
The two products in this category, ForX5 Magic Milk Herbal Mixed Powder and Iron Magic Mixed Herbal Powder, are herbal mixed powders that you stir into hot water. They are not teas or coffees, and the ForX5 page is explicit that, unlike most products in the shop, it is not a detox or slimming drink.
The ForX5 description calls the result a warm, milky drink with notes of cinnamon, ginger and chamomile. It adds that milk powder gives the creamy taste and texture.
What is in them
Both products list almost the same ten ingredients: milk powder, wheat germ, fenugreek, cumin, cinnamon, ginger, chamomile, milk thistle, dandelion and citrus peel. The ForX5 page describes wheat germ as the nutrient-rich core of the wheat grain, fenugreek as a seed used in Middle Eastern and Indian cooking, and cumin and cinnamon as familiar culinary spices.
The ForX5 listing also states that the product contains milk and wheat (gluten). That is useful to know before you order, simply because it shows the product is a mix of milk powder and grain germ with spices, not a plain herbal infusion.
How the brands say to use them
Powder | Listed ingredients | Use as described |
|---|---|---|
ForX5 Magic Milk | Milk powder, wheat germ, fenugreek, cumin, cinnamon, ginger, chamomile, milk thistle, dandelion, citrus peel | One sachet in a glass of hot water, stirred until dissolved, drunk warm, about an hour before a main meal; 30 sachets per box |
Iron Magic | Wheat germ, fenugreek, milk thistle, dandelion, cumin, citrus peel, chamomile, cinnamon, milk powder, ginger | One sachet a day in one glass of hot water, drunk warm, ideally an hour before meals |
Both brands give the same amount: one sachet a day. ForX5 says to stay within one sachet a day, and Iron Magic says not to exceed the recommended serving.
Common questions about preparation
Hot water, not milk. ForX5 recommends hot water because the powder already contains milk. Mixing it with extra milk makes the drink richer.
Cold drinks. The ForX5 page says to dissolve the powder in hot water first; you may then let it cool.
One box, one month. A ForX5 box of 30 sachets lasts 30 days at one a day.
Picking between the two
The deciding factors are small. The ingredient lists are nearly identical, so choose by the listing you prefer. ForX5 describes its taste in detail, while Iron Magic also has a multi-box listing: the Iron Magic Buy 4 Get 1 Free page is titled a 5-month package.
If you order several boxes at once, the offer is collected under Wholesale, and the delivery page explains how parcels are sent.
