RE: Best type of magnesium supplement

[Guest guest]



Hi Deb,

Some people use Magnesium citrate and have good results with that. I take Magnesium orotate and also utilize trans-dermal magnesium oil. Because the oil is absorbed through the skin, it by passes the digestive system, thereby eliminating loose bowels that can sometimes be a side effect of taking magnesium orally. Kathleen

Best type of magnesium supplement

I've been reading and reading but haven't found a definitive answer regarding the best formulation of a magnesium supplement. Any advice? Thanks in advance!

I take mag chloride, and it is the best for me. Helps me sleep at night, no bowel troubles. I tried mag citrate, but developed softer bowel movements, and I tried mag malate, and I started waking up again at nights. But other have success with them. What I have heard is that in the end, your body has to make it into mag chloride, so I just go right there! On a general note, anything but mag oxide seems to work for people. Oxide is barely useful to your body, and is known to cause bowel trouble. So try any of the others, including taurate, etc. and see what works for you. Also, what does your question have to do with the post you attached it to? I know we don’t want trimming so that all pertinent information is included, but I can’t find what your question has to do with the post. Let me know what I am missing! I can be a bear of very little brains sometimes.
