I will have to try that other magnesium but the only thing I worry about is how to get my girls to take them. The only reason we use the Shaklee is because it is a chewable. My girls were in a calendar for tobi this year!! That is who took the picture of my girls sitting on (my husband bride and joy old chevy truck) some times I wonder who he loves more his truck, his girls or me I think it goes in that order LOL!!! But if you know of any company that is looking for models my girls had a lot of fun doing it. Thanks again, Deb A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 18, 2003 Report Share Posted July 18, 2003 Dear Kim , I am so sorry your not going to get to the CFRI conference .I was sooooooo looking forward to seeing you .So was Lois. Did you ask if they had anymore scholarships. Gosh, that was a really big highlight for us too. LOVE & HUGS, GRDMBEV--BEV Re: MRSA /Kim Hi Deb, Minerals dissolve in water. The thing is the process gets trickier trying to get complex minerals across cell membranes. Bioavailable means something is available for the cell to use. Just because something is absorbed, doesn't mean it's bioavailable. And certain inorganic or salts such as carbonates, oxides, etc. aren't highly bioavailable. Think of a mesh window screen -- pretend that's like the membrane of a cell. It's permeable to an extent. Next, pour water filled with marbles onto the mesh. The marbles are complex minerals. Complex minerals have a higher molecular weight that prevents them from being taken up by the cell. The intestines absorb smaller molecular items first. It was thought that amino acids were the smallest, but dipeptides are smaller. So basically what this means is that if you wrap amino acid or dipeptide molecules around a mineral, you fool the body and the mineral is sneaked into the cell. BUT, that doesn't work for just every chelated mineral. It all involves ions and electrical stuff. Albion Labs patented a away to remove the electrical charge, making it a neutral, so the chelated mineral is stable, and more highly absorbable. To the general " healthy " population, maybe this isn't so important. But when you're dealing with malabsorption problems and chronic illness, nutrients are a big deal. Sure, I saw my son improve after adding just 128 mg. daily of magnesium chloride. We feel that his body was so starved for magnesium that it latched on to whatever it could get. But his health really started improving more when he switched to Albion's chelated magnesium glycinate. And there's no denying that magnesium oxide, magnesium chloride, and magnesium citrate did absolutely nothing for me. But within 48-hours of using Albion's magnesium glycinate I saw incredible results. My two-month bout of insomnia ended and I had incredible energy. And after increasing my dose to 400 mg. a day, I know longer have chronic sinus headaches, no more IBS, and my migraines are few and far between and when I do get a migraine I can control it at home with meds. Each of us has to use what we're comfortable with. But all the research I've read shows that magnesium oxide is the least bioavailable -- remember, the cells won't take it up as well as others. And if you take certain forms of magnesium at high doses, then you run the risk of loose stools or diarrhea, and with CF you just can't fool around with that. By the way, I *still* think you need to get those girls of yours modeling contracts! Has any pharmaceutical company ever approached you about using their photo in one of the calendars they usually produce? Kim Kim, Shaklee is known to be one of the best for absorbing the most of your vitamin. I was told to put a pill in a glass of water and see how fast it starts to desolve and it did very quickly.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2003 Report Share Posted July 18, 2003 I crush Patti's magnesium, add a tad of powdered sugar and then pour in just enough apple and white grape juice to make it smooth. Patti eats it right down and says it's yummy...of course she is two. That's how we get all her large pills or yucky meds down her.
