Guest guest Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 All forms of magnesium are good; this form is supposed to be highly absorbable and less irritating gastrointestinally. Start with a low dose to make sure it doesn't give you diarrhea. The usual dose is 400 mg, but you might need more depending upon symptoms. And no, you don't want to add calcium to that. Ellen magnesium glycenate My dr is suggesting this for headaches. What is the dose? Does calcium go wiht it/ dose? thanks Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Just my two cents - if you have an oxalate issue, is it good to mix magnesium WITH calcium. Don't know all the details but it helps halt the leaking of the oxalic crystals from the gut (or something to that effect).  I use a magnesium malate from NOW and it has a good ratio of mag to calcium - much more mag than calcium and it's cheap. ________________________________ From: ellen <variegatedfoliage@...> Sent: Sunday, March 11, 2012 11:24 AM Subject: Re: magnesium glycenate  All forms of magnesium are good; this form is supposed to be highly absorbable and less irritating gastrointestinally.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Life extensions has a very good one. One capsule gives you 500 mg unlike many other brands I tried where you have to take 4-6 capsules to get that much. Also the price is just under 8 $ for 100 capsules Deepak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
