Guest guest Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Can someone please tell me if Magnesium Aspartate is better than Magnesium Citrate? Am having a hard time trying to find plain Calcium Citrate. What i find is that it comes with magnesium but not in citrate form. Thanks.

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 I don't know which is better but I find Magnesium Citrate at Whole foods and Sprouts. Maybe someone who knows more will answer which is better. > > Can someone please tell me if Magnesium Aspartate > is better than Magnesium Citrate?

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 I came across this from book Take Control of Your health and avoid the sickness industry: " Beware: Some magnesium supplements contain aspartate, which is 40% of the aspartame molecule. Aspartate is an excitotoxin, whether in aspartame or a supplement. It cannot be isolated. It is a dangerous excitotoxin, despite claims to the contrary by some magnesium manufacturers, who shall be nameless. They have a profit motive and appear unconcerned that it causes lesions in the brains of mice. Watch labels! " I would go with magnesium Citrate OR magnesium oil which you can rub on, I believe it is listed in the links area. good luck! > > Can someone please tell me if Magnesium Aspartate > is better than Magnesium Citrate?

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Are you sure of your information? Aspartate is a nonessential amino acid (meaning that it can be synthesized in the body). My understanding of Hans Neipers study on minerals transporters is that aspartate acts as a carrier for magnesium. In simple terms the aspartate, which is a compound that the body normally uses is viewed by the cells as something normal, and since it’s bound to magnesium, the magnesium goes along for the ride. Aspartame is a combination of aspartic acid and phenylalanine, which would be an exciter or excitotoxin. Aspartate to my understanding is a good guy, and aspartame at normal temperatures is an excitotoxin, and when heated above a certain degree (I can’t remember the exact degree) and then turns to a substance similar to formaldehyde. Naturopathic “buzz” topics from several years back made the Desert Storm sicknesses to be aspartame related. Always interested in learning, if that which I have presented is contrary to what you read, I would be interested in learning the research that backed up the book that you are speaking of. I would agree that there are a lot of magnesium sources that are poor quality.

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Note post to other poster by me. I think I found your e-book. If that’s not it, I would still like the information.
