Hi ,

I don't know what Desh's response will be, but I started taking Magnesium

glycinate and it is fantastic! I've always heard that Mg is a relaxant, but

never really believed it until now -- man, does it knock me out good when I take

it with dinner!

Dr. Ron Schmid recommends this form (I believe because it's chelated?) and it's

not super pricey. I'm using the Kal brand right now and got 180 tablets (2 per

day) for around $25, though I didn't shop around for a better deal.

I think that it's generally agreed that magnesium citrate is the most

easily digested / absorbed form, even for people with low stomach acid.

However, if you have reflux or heartburn, it may exacerbate that. Also,

some people claim that they reach bowel tolerance to mg citrate more

quickly than other forms, and that they can take more of the mg

glycinate. I have good results with mg citrate (Natural Calm powdered

lemon drink) and good results with the Trace Minerals Research ionic

magnesium. I also have taken some Solaray cal/mg/zinc in the past, but

it did not have enough magnesium. The nice thing about the Natural Calm

powder (very very tart) is that you can hide it in things if the kids get

picky (lemonade popsicles!).

I have been planning on trying mag glycinate the next time I have the

bucks for a big vitamin order from vitacost or iherb.

Thanks and Desh,

I am needing it for helping move things along in a couple of slow

moving kids. So i will go with the one that specifically remedies that

and hopefully find on that has all three types in it for the rest of us.

Thanks!

You could also try homeopathic nat. mur. It is good for water balance

issues in the body. This can also be an adrenal fatigue issue (nat mur

can help that a little but there's other stuff to try too). We work on

that here ourselves.
