---Have you tried epsom salt yet? The easiest was is to mix some

water and epsom salt in a spray bottle and spray it on the arms and

legs and neck.

Ca/Mg/Zn from Trader Joe's, but he is complaining about headaches, so

I wanted to try pure Mg (and add Zn later). HFS has: magnesium oxide,

magnesium citrate, magnesium chelate (this one seems to be w /

aminoacids, but the label does not mention which ones are there). I

heard oxide is not well absorbed, what about citrate and chelate?

What forms do you use?

I love pouring it into my bath water and taking a long soak before going to bed.

I really helps to relax me and I sleep so good.

Epsom salts are magnesium sulfate. that works well externally. For

internal, I use Source Naturals Magnesium Malate (another brand

didn't work).

I used magnesium citrate too, Natural Calm. Oxide and carbonate forms

are not well absorbed, so just about anything that isn't those. A

chelated form or ionic is usually good too.

If you end up doing more than one mineral, I like the Brainchilds

Minerals Only. It is a nice, nice balance of highly absorbable

minerals...including selenium and molybdenum.
