Which Magnesium supplement?

[Guest guest]

I take magnesium glycinate because it's the only one I can tolerate. If you

can't tolerate the other kinds at such high doses, you may do well with the

glycinate form.

My doctor has had me taking a magnesium/ potassium aspartate

supplement. He told me to avoid the oxide formulations because they are not

well absorbed, but just pass through the system and out of your body –

one of the reasons that they are so much cheaper than the better quality

varieties. I take 800 mg most days, sometimes an extra 200 mg if I am

dehydrated. My body does not hold on to magnesium well. Really hot and humid

days will drain it out of me in my perspiration in nothing flat.

I take magnesium ascorbate from iherb.com.

I get my mag and vit c at the same time. Supposedly the two are symbiotic and support the absorption of the other.
