Most of the literature supporting one " form " or another is written by people trying to sell you their particular form. Magnesium oxide is cheap, and available. 250mg once per day virtually stopped my ectopics --- so I don't really care how much was " absorbed " , it worked for me.

Hello and : Just a word of caution for some 42 million Americans that may have an undiagnosed iron metabolism disorder, anything with citrate in it or man made ascorbic acid...can enhance the storage of iron in the major organs...so it is not a good idea to take it unless you know your hemoglobin, hematocrit, transferrin saturation % and ferritin level. Ferritin levels that are just above 50 indicate that iron is beginning to be stored and may increase the chances of having any of the five major diseases such as cirrhosis, diabetes, heart disease, (arrhythmia), cancer and alzheimer's. A large percentage of diabetics have been found to have elevated ferritin levels. > > >snip.............. > I think measuring the percentage of Mg in any compound is > > misleading.
