Guest guest Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 I'm sure that I'm mag deficient since most of us are. My doc said that I should try to find a magnesium glycinate supplement as it is the best absorbed and easiest on the GI. Does anyone have any experience with this form of mag supplement and/or a recommended brand or source? Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Is glycinate better than the citrate? Tina > > I'm sure that I'm mag deficient since most of us are.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Would you happen to know the difference between taurate and gliconate?

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Taurate also has calming effect so that is why i prefer it. I also used glycinate but i am more comfortable with taurate form. bw. Nil Re: Mag supplements Would you happen to know the difference between taurate and gliconate?

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 you may also search for chloride form. It is especially helpful if you have digestive problems and will be cheaper if you find it in bulk form. bw Nil Re: Mag supplements Tina I deleted my post about the Citrate as I just read Citrate is good too.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Mark, Thanks so much for looking it up. You have a lot of integrity.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 I had just found the Carlson lab stuff. So you can order it from Vitacost? I need to find a good powdered B-5 too. While I'm at it, does anyone have a favorite of that that they get from Vitacost? > > > > Here ya go this is the one I use: (glycinate chelated is the best > > absorbed) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Assuming that taurate and taurinate are the same thing?

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 >>Your post prompted me to research the Taurate form and I just read that both Mag. and Taurine each have calming effects and thus compliment one another. I'm going to give it a try when mine runs out as I suffer from insomnia. Mark>> makes a 400 mg mag taurate and there have been times when I've taken as much as 1200 and it's worked to stop pounding heart and I think it's good for sleep. Dr. Norman Shealy recommends this form. Dahlia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 I was told on here a couple weeks ago Citrate was the best absorbed. Thanks for the heads up I will check the other kind. a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 My nutritionist has me on magnesium glycinate, Pure Encapsulations brand. Magnesium oil is also very good to use.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Thanks Linn. Was ready to pull the trigger on a mag glycinate supp but now I'm wondering about the mag/taurate supps. I could use the calming properties of both, but easy on the GI is very important to me too. Have you tolerated it well? Thanks, > > > > I'm sure that I'm mag deficient since most of us are.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Hi , I have heard about taurinate form but never had a chance to check if it was the same with taurate. bw Nil Re: Mag supplements Assuming that taurate and taurinate are the same thing?

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Yes, I like it a lot, I used to take mag citrate, but like the glycinate much better. Linn > > Thanks Linn.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 oh.. okay. thanks.. Nil Re: Mag supplements I think it's the same thing as I copied this from the back of one brand: Magnesium (as magnesium taurinate) 250 mg L-Taurine (as magnesium taurinate) 2,672 mg --- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 As a long term sufferer of depression I went to this site, and it is not very good. in fact it is dangerous and can slow down folks and even derail them until suicide is attempted, from getting real help. The idea that depression is caused only by magnesium deficiency is a false one. I have tried that and many other natural remedies for years before realizing I needed medication to treat it. And I wish I could go back in time and tell my younger self that all those decades of incredible suffering and insomnia and migraines from sleep loss and putting my family and friends (the few I had), through Hell was not necessary. Medication could have eased my suffering and made me comfortable to live with instead of the monster I was and still am sometimes. I was being steered down the wrong path by false information such as this website. If I take too much magnesium it makes it impossible for me to sleep. Adding calcium helps but there is a limit quickly reached how much of either ceases to help and becomes harmful. Too much of a good thing ceases to be a good thing, and by itself minerals are not the answer. How I wish it was! Because I would have been feeling better as a teenager when I first tried magnesium and not having to wait until my thirties when I first went on medication for it, to finally start feeling better. I was so gung ho against medication for decades because of false information like this! It is such a tragedy this kind of lies are still being told and harming people.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Has anyone here used the Magnesium Oil? It is used on the skin and is very well absorbed. I found out about it on the Iodine board. They say the best place to get it is ancientminerals.com I have used it some, and now this week more consistantly. The first time I used it, I slept 9 hours straight!!

I found out about it on the Iodine board. They > say the best place to get it is ancientminerals.com > Yes, I use the magnesium oil from Ancient Minerals, and it works great for me. I can't take much magnesium orally as it causes me diarrhea, so I get most of my magnesium from the oil spray, and I am so glad I found it because now I am able to supply my body with the magnesium it needs without the bowel problems One bottle has lasted me well over a month, well worth the cost.
