Guest guest Posted August 28, 2000 Report Share Posted August 28, 2000 Hi Vee, I buy magnesium glycinate at my doctor's office in Ottawa. It is " Magnesium Complex " by Klaire Laboratories; the label says 100 mg of magnesium glycinate; 100 capsules - 22$; free of all common allergens (...) Exclusively designed for the sensitive individual. Regarding mycoplasma testing, I have been tested twice, by two different doctors. OHIP paid for it. A virologist asked for PCR, and an environmental doctor asked for IgM. The samples were transferred to Public Health Laboratories (Ministry of Health- Laboratory services branch). Both tests came back negative, but I don't know if these are the most accurate tests for mycoplasma. Hope this help!

It has malic acid, magnesium glycinate, and a bit of tyrosine I think (don't have the bottle in front of me). It comes in capsules which I find easier to swallow. I take the dose recommend on the label, 3 caps twice a day, and it really helps with the muscle pain and stiffness of fibromyalgia. -- el - andrea@...

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2000 Report Share Posted August 28, 2000 Vee, My doctor suggests 1-2 caps, 3 times/day (so 200-600gr/day). I think this is what Cheney suggests too. Maybe it would be enough for you. I can only tolerate 100g/day. I have problems with almost all supplements. After a few months (4-6 months) I have to reduce and finally to stop them because they make me feel very sick. I start then with another brand. The only supplements I have taken for a longer time are Immunocal (since Dec.'97) (I switch for ImmunePro a few weeks ago to see if I can have better results with that one) and B12 shots -hydroxy, that I have taken for 1 year (but only a little dose each week).

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2000 Report Share Posted August 28, 2000 Eliane, how much do you take a day? I've been needing to take a gram of magnesium a day and it's still not enough! I don't take more so I don't have other problems from over dosing on it. At that rate, I'd have to take 10 capsules a day, so the container would last me only 10 days. If it's more absorbable, maybe I could take less, have you found that? Vee > I buy magnesium glycinate at my doctor's office in Ottawa.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2000 Report Share Posted August 29, 2000 I just ordered some Magnesium glycinate powder from beyond a century, 300 grams for 7.50. This would normally be a years supply I think!!!!!!!. I don't know anything about it, but compared to the other prices flying back and for, even if you need high doses, this is very affordable.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2000 Report Share Posted September 4, 2000 I take Vital Life or Prime Life mag glycinate in capsule form available at local healthfood store. Can look on bottle if you need more info. Been taking that form since 1995. Hannah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 28, 2002 Report Share Posted August 28, 2002 Actually, absorption depends on what binders & fillers are used. So the source maybe " well absorbed " on paper, in real life it is a very different story. Just pick up a copy of THE ULTIMATE HEALING SYSTEM by Lepore. Magnesium Glycinate " This form of magnesium provides superb absorption. " - Dr. Uzzi Reiss, p.153 of Natural Hormone Balance for Women: Look Younger, Feel Stronger, and Live Life With Exuberance. -R On Tuesday, August 27, 2002, at 12:07 PM, Axel Hultman wrote: > Hey , why the glycinate form of magnesium?

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Hi Adam, Sign up.. No problem with that. I work with them As far as I know their site is trustable. labs products are only sold to members.That is what labs asks them to do. I am surprised about NEEDS process. They must have changed their way of process since I have not given any orders.You might try contacting them through their help desk. they have good service. They might find another way to solve the problem. nil Re: magnesium glycinate > hi > > I tried http://www.bayho.com they didn't seem to specify which products > sold magnesium glycinate without signing up to their company first. > > also www.needs.com would not accept payment via the net requesting that > customers outside the USA send a completed form with a cheque. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 Yes, It is a newer patented form of Magnesium.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 Dear all, I think my previous post did not get thru so I am re-posting. I wish to try magesium on my child. He is inattentive, hyper at times, fidgety and also very confused mind. Visited Kirkman website and saw magnesium glycinate. Does it help ? Any good or bad ? I read that magnesium glycinate is also for chelating aluminium but I am not doing chelation so should I choose this or other forms of magnesium (which type) ? What dosage should I give for a 45kg child ? Any long term side effects ? Do I need to give calcium together with magnesium or I can just give magnesium on its own ? Appreciate all feedback. Thanks and regards, Anne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 Hi Dana, If I am not giving other supplements or vitamins/multivits, but just giving magnesium and probiotics only, is there any harm in giving magnesium on long term basis ? Will I " mess up " any minerals balance in his body ? I understand if one gives too much magnesium, it may cause diahorrea, right ? Regards, Anne > > Do I need to give calcium together with magnesium or I can just give magnesium on its own ? > > > If you want to increase the magnesium levels, give the magnesium alone. Giving it with calcium, it will help in the absorption of the calcium and you won't have as much of the magnesium itself absorbed. > > Dana > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 We give magnesium alone....and we give one of two kinds..which have been the most effective for us.....magnesium malate when you need malic acid for the Krebs cycle and muscle pain...and magnesium chelate for general magnesium needs....we also do espson salt soaks..but it seems to help with phenols more than our usual magnesium needs..but who knows it may work otherwise for you. hth Ronni > > Dear all, > I think my previous post did not get thru so I am re-posting. > I wish to try magesium on my child.

Not that I know of. Once your body is fully loaded with magnesium, it should start causing diarrhea. At my house tho, it started causing massive headaches. So watch for those symptoms. >>Will I " mess up " any minerals balance in his body ? If the diarrea continues for a while, yes. Otherwise, I don't think so.

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 We give the PSP with Magnesium Glycinate from Kirkman's and we have never had any problems. We are about to try Oxypowder for a cleanse.
