The magnesium is in the form of magnesium aspartate. Is aspartate similar to Aspartame? I have read about the dangers of Aspartame

They are not related. aspartate is an amino acid. aspartame is a poisionous chemical used as a sweetener. (antifreeze is sweet too)

I am not familiar with different forms of magnesium, but I am pretty sure that magnesium aspartate and Aspartame are two very different things. Aspartame is an artificial sweetener, and you are right: dangerous to your health. I would google magnesium aspartate if I was you, but it seems to me that it's just one of many different forms magnesium comes in. Magnesium Glycinate is the form most easily absorbed by the body.

the different types of magnesium are indicated for different health effects. i bought glycinate as recommended by my naturopath doctor because it has a calming effect and promotes better sleep. I am not an expert but i think magnesium citrate is used to help blood sugar , magnesium malate for pain, and there is something for heart health too.Try asking a doctor because dosage matters and he can match your supplements to medication and your health history.

I can't say for sure, but doubt that it is the same thing, I only found with Aminos acid, and that is poison!!! This person needs to look further, I only use Coconut Crystals, very few of that, cause I mix Swerve, which is just like sugar, and an excellent replacement!!!!!

Sorry I would be of no help, I bought it but never ended up using it. I just use 1 magnesium supplement every day. 500 mg.

Hi, The only Magnesium it has listed is 'Magnesium' of 200mg. It does not have any references (not even in their Statement Of Elements document) on any other Magnesium element. Hope this helps.

Interesting question posed! I look on the side of the box and right there in black and white is not only the ingredients list but also the nutrition panel. As a diabetic, I've come to expect aspartame in nearly any drink that's labeled 'Sugar Free' Actually, sugar free ONLY means there is no sugar in it, not unsweetened.

Serving size is 2 tablets. Magnesium 500 mg. as magnesium oxide, aspartate, alpha-ketoglutarate, citrate, taurinateThese are huge tablets. I put mine in with smoothie ingredients in the VitaMix.

it is pure magnesium in size of angstrom ion...to get detailed info on this, go to Mother's Earth Minerals home website and they explain in detail how it works

Unfortunately, I tossed away the box for this particular 'dark" product. However, I also have "milk chocolate" of the same brand and as far as I can see there is no aspartame.

Monosodium Glutamate (MSG), Aspartame, and many other toxic chemicals that evidence based research has confirmed dangerous have been approved by the FDA. I hope it ISN'T approved by the FDA, it might be good for you. Anyone buying a Standard Process product anywhere than from a licensed and board certified health care professional is NOT getting the true product. Follow the facts and look into Standard Process policies. Heads are going to roll after whoever is responsible for selling them online is found under the ongoing federal investigation.

The bottle that I purchased says Magnesium citrate only ..., no calcium. I believe this company sells a magnesium/calcium combo but this is not the one I purchased or the Solgar Magnesium Citrate that was emailed to me to answer your specific question to. Hope that answers your question.

What I've learned in life is that when taking supplements you do need more magnesium than calcium, as far as the ratio goes. This "raw one" didn't contain mag., that's why I changed to something else. Hope this helps

Hi Herman, Yes, that's correct, we have updated the formula. We are always looking to improve and offer an even better experience for our customers. I'm not sure I follow, though, are you asking if if the new formula is dangerous? Or stating that it is dangerous? Either way, it's not. The formula has taken some small tweaks, but by and large is the same formula, just stronger. We took a few of the smaller ingredients and worked in more of the stronger ingredients, plus added D-Aspartic Acid. The new formula is now even stronger and more potent. Thanks, Matt

I like to take magnesium at bedtime - only one to start as too much magnesium works as a laxative. Magnesium reduces muscle tension and induces relaxation.

Thank you so very much. The other forms have other ingredients. So just to make sure it is pure magnesium and no other added ingredients?

This is NOT the only form of Magnesium that is absorbed differently in the body as there are several forms. Taurate is a great form but is also one of the most expensive. (Magnesium forms that are more readily absorbed: Chelated magnesium, Magnesium taurate, chloride, glycinate, orotate, malate, L-Threonate or magnesium oil (a solution of magnesium chloride & water that can be sprayed or rubbed on the body). Magnesium taurate, glycinate, and orotate forms have less laxative effects than citrate.) (Book: The Magnesium Miracle - Dr. Carolyn Dean) http://drcarolyndean.com/magnesium_miracle/ Forms of Magnesium to avoid: glutamate - neurotoxin related to aspartame; aspartate - neurotoxin same as previous; oxide

I'd quit the calcium supplement as we usually get enough from our food. Too much calcium without magnesium can cause big problems.
