As an ex Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry major I don't mind doing

the biochemistry necessary to understand and help cure my daughter and

self of autism spectrum problems. However, there are super cheap

sources of magnesium out there that make your taking a risk about

dosing and even doing a lot of posting perhaps not worthwhile - that's

been my experience. For example, out Mag Citrate is " buy one get

two free " from Puritan's Pride (see their website) - what follows it

clipped from their site:

-Discount vitamin mineral supplements from Puritan's Pride. ...

MAGNESIUM CITRATE 833MG. 833 mg. 100 Capsules.

Buy 1 for $9.69 Get 2 Free

That's 300 capsules each 833mg (probably more than you'll need) for

less than $10 + shipping. They have lower doses (we have their 100mg

capsules) and they're often running that buy one, get two free - it's even

less. We've had no problems with their content to date.

Just fyi

Thanks for that! that's pretty cheap, but when international shipping,

Australian TGA regulations that won't let you import more than 3

months personal supply according to manufacturer's recommended dosing

and the fact that this product is only 8.33% Mg (833mg Mg Citrate

yielding 100mg elemental Mg) are all taken into consideration, my

source is cheaper, stronger and more convenient for me as I am making

up " multi supplement " pills. I do appreciate the suggestion, though as

I am living on welfare and penny pinching and I'm sure others in the

US will find it VERY useful.

Thanks so much for your thoughtful input.

Kind Regards,

Kelle
