Re: help with minerals please

but mag citrate tastes awful. i recommend the product " Natural

Calm " (mag citrate with something slightly effervescent) but make sure

you get the plain one (a little lemony and great in tea) - the

flavored versions have extra crap in them.

I'd be interested in your reference that magnesium amino acid chelate is

chloride. I have had REMARKABLE results with it. Its obvious to me that my

body is using it, but if I need to use a different form because of

increasing the exposure to chloride, I'd sure switch!

Thanks for help with this,

Subject: help with minerals please

Hi all,

My boyfriend seems to be severely magnesium deficient. I talked with him

about it last evening and he was very willing to go on a mineral supplement

as well as eat more nuts and seeds. However, I'm not sure what to tell him

about the kind of minerals to purchase. It seems someone posted not long ago

that the form should not be chloride, oxide or sulfate. So I was checking

into colloidal minerals just now and it seems the magnesium form is

chloride. Another article I had saved talked about transdermal magnesium

cholide being the best. What do you all recommend so that we can get

something his gut will really absorb? He doesn't have good digestion at this

point but we'll be working on that too.

THANKS for your help!

I don't get why chloride (you know, the same stuff in salt) or sulfate would

be a bad thing...

My favorite ways of getting magnesium are both topical, either magnesium

chloride salt, or epsom salt (magnesium sulfate).

frontier's magnesium citrate tastes like crap, and certainly not

tart like a lemon - chalky is the word that comes to mind.

Whatever mineral supplement you take, you might benefit from some HCl supplement

if low stomach acid is a problem. A bunch of minerals taken at once can douse

that intestinal fire. HCl is sold in capsule form. An alternative is some

diluted raw apple cider vinegar.
