Combined Mg(2+)/vitamin B6 intake (100 mg/day)

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but...what does Mg(2+) mean? And, what

type of Mg - citrate, glycinate, etc., chelated or not? - and are they referring

to 100mg/day of B6, or some combo of MG/B6?

Thanks. -- HMS

Mg(2+) is the form of magnesium in the supplements you need. There is

no other real choice so you don't need to worry about it.

All of these are fine, just avoid oxide, hydroxide and carbonate.

I don't know, but 100 mg a day of each is appropriate.

Hi Andy,

Why do you feel that people should avoid magnesium oxide?

Pfeiffer uses it in its compounded products that we are having good

results with, and it seems to be a common form being used in

supplements.

Would it be better to ask them to compound the next batch with

another form of magnesium? Do you feel it might promote oxidative

stress, or that is it harder to process?

I think it might be because magnesium in the form of magnesium oxide is poorly

absorbed as compared to other forms.

It is poorly absorbed and destroys stomach acid.

It is common because it is very cheap and low in volume. It is a great

laxative, but not a very good magnesium supplement.

If they want the magnesium to be absorbed, yes.

As above.
