I got the mag/glycinate after the discussion here about the most

absorbable and well tolerated although someone else noted that

mag/taurinate would be another one after I ordered it. I've heard

about the Natural Calm. If people here vouch for it as a good,

absorbable form I'll gladly take it that way. I can barely swallow

these tabs. Does anyone with a good gut want to buy about 177 tabs :)

This can also be caused by too little mag, my arrhythmias resolved after

starting mag.

it is always advised to take mg up to bowel tolerance. but what about ca? do you

also increase your ca as you increase mg..i did take mg for long term in big

amounts without increasing my ca dosage and i am not sure at this moment if it

was right thing to do.

At night, I take the mag/glycinate tablets and put them in a liter of water. By

the next day, after a few shakes, the tablets are dissolved and drink the

water. I also chew a tablet up and swallow with kefir at times. Of course, I

use a different brand than you do. I use the Kal brand of mag/glycinate. But,

theses two methods might work for your brand also.

MOST people with hypothyoridism are low in magnesium. to correct that

oyu need ot take JUST magnesium. Taking calcium and magnesium does nto

work,. If you are in doubt about how much you are taking order a lab to

see where lyour levels of calcium and magnesium are. Guessing is juts that.

Magnesium $39 and Calcium spot urine $39

I did split at first to make sure that I could take the whole 400mg.

The problems with that are that even split in half they're huge, the

halves have jagged edges (guess I could sand them down) and, most

importantly, with a pretty faulty digestive system, I'm not sure that

I'm getting much benefit from the hard pills. With that said, the

" bowel tolerance " issue might have come up this morning b/c things

were, shall we say, not very solid. Sorry for TMI. I would still

prefer caps to these horse pills, whether they're working or not.

If having trouble gettign enough magnesium due to digestion issues, you

cna always take an Epsom Salt bath. Epsom salts are magnesium and it

absorbs fairly well in a well salted bath, I use abotu 2 bups and as hot

a water as I cna tolerate withotu gettign diozzy when I get out. which

your adrneal status will determine.

That BMAG pack that I am injecting has mag, B-12 and CA in it. I've

asked about calcium supps and been told that I don't need them right

now by three docs. I'm also on vit D - 15000IU/week.

Thanks Pamela. I'm reconsidering all of my mag options again. I'm

supposed to take the mag at night so maybe I'll try dissolving one in

water tomorrow AM and see what state it's in by bed-time. If I'm

going to drink it though, the Natural Calm seems like not a bad way to go.

My mag citrate pills are huge too, so I imagine splitting them

wouldn't help much.

Maybe the powder that people have mentioned is worth a try! I don't

especially like swallowing my horse pill mag caps either, so maybe

I'll make the switch too!
