Best type of magnesium supplement

[Guest guest]

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!DebSent from my iPhoneDeborah K.

Canada has also nearly eliminated it's use as a pesticide on crops. It is formally considered a toxic substance by Environment Canada (feds) and a global ban on it's use is slated for 2015, except for what is considered 'critical use' (ie to avoid a disruption in a specific commercial market).

"In 1992, Parties to the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer recognized that methyl bromide has an ozone-depleting potential (ODP); thus it is identified as an ozone-depleting substance. Since January 1st, 2005, the manufacture, import and export of methyl bromide has been prohibited in Canada, except for use in quarantine and pre-shipment applications, as feedstock, as analytical standards, or for critical or emergency use."

The US has requested that 9,000 metric tonnes (out of a global total of 16,000) be considered critical use in the US. Nearly 40% of all methyl bromide in the US is used on only two crops: Florida tomatoes and California strawberries.

I'm not saying Canada is maintaining high levels of regulation esp with this 'critical use' exemption clause. A quick google shows that you can still buy bromide in Canada at Walmart for your spa (along with the suggested purchase of goggles! love it!).
