magnesium Citrate or Oxide?
752123
don't buy anything that says oxide. Its the cheaper product but less effective. Google it and it will give you the information between citrate and oxide.. Since I used it up several months ago I don't remember if it was oxide or citrate.

This is oxide which is terrible! If you're looking for a real good quality Magnesium citrate supplement I recommend this one Zahler Magnesium Citrate, All Natural Supplement with Maximum Absorption, Helps Maintain Normal Muscle and Nerve Function, Certified Kosher, 200mg, 60 Capsules this is a real effective and bioavailable magnesium. This supplement has really helped me with constipation and muscle issues. Whoever I recommended this too has not been let down.

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?

If you're looking for a real good quality Magnesium take a look at this one Zahler Magnesium Citrate, All Natural Supplement with Maximum Absorption, Helps Maintain Normal Muscle and Nerve Function, Certified Kosher, 200mg, 60 Capsules this is Magnesium Citrate which is the most effective form of Magnesium. This has helped me tons with different issues I was having.

I'm not sure however I haven't seen any success with this product so I switched to this Magnesium Citrate Zahler Magnesium Citrate, All Natural Supplement with Maximum Absorption, Helps Maintain Normal Muscle and Nerve Function, Certified Kosher, 200mg, 60 Capsules I finally started seeing results. Somehow I believe Magnesium Citrate is the most effective!

I do not believe there is any magnesium in citracal, only ca citrate and d3, there is magnesium in other ingredients portion, it does not state the amount

I'll just add that due to the much higher absorption rate this is much less likely to cause... ummm... loose bowels. I still got some of that undesirable effect from this too. I've also use MagMind and that too is a different type of magnesium but didn't get much from it.This is a good one to try out especially if you suffer from undesirable effects from the cheap magnesium

The supplement facts portion of our label is provided by our supplier. No federal law is being violated, despite the unfounded accusations in your review. Magnesium Oxide is an essential part of the TRAACS patented Buffered Chelate to control pH. Therefore it does not need to appear as an additional ingredient; it is inherent in the patent. Magnesium Oxide is not added in to dilute the quality of the product, but rather is scientifically shown to enhance absorption and blood serum levels without causing stomach upset or inducing a laxative effect. These facts go beyond simple percentages. We understand that you have chosen not to purchase our product and have targeted us and similar products with inflammatory non-buyer reviews. Nevertheless, we are happy to continue to address each and every concern you may chose to post, however unfounded or contrived.

magnesium oxide is very poorly absorbed. about 4%. it has a laxative property. it is the cheapest salt.magnesium taurate is much easier to absorbed. it has an affinity for the brain & cardiovascular systems.we have this item ready for prompt shipment.thanks

No. The brand is aptly named. My Doctor recommended them for that reason. She said Magnesium glycinate or citrate were the most absorbable. I was pleased to be able to find them on Amazon for a more reasonable price. I can tell the difference when I skip taking them for a few days.

http://www.globalhealingcenter.com/natural-health/types-of-magnesium/ there are a bunch of forms of magnesium. plain 'magnesium' doesn't give enough details to know the form. Mag Citrate is one of the most absorbable. This article gives you more information. Good luck !

I would go with the target mins. The form of zinc (gluconate) in the chelated form has low bioavailability, while the mixed forms in the target mins, especially citrate and picolinate, are more absorbable.

No, there are 200 mg of magnesium, not magnesium citrate, in each tablet. Big difference. Two tablets supply 100% of the daily value of magnesium. Check the competing brands carefully. Some of them advertise the # of mg of magnesium citrate, not magnesium, in each tablet. It's like comparing apples and oranges. If they don't tell you the daily value, it's probably because they are advertising magnesium citrate, for which there is none.

1. The citrate salt is (supposedly) more bio-available (more easily absorbed and distributed through the body) than other salt forms.2. To the best of my understanding, the active form of Magnesium in the body is the Mg 2+ cation. I cannot see any chemical rationale for injesting Magnesium Oxide as a source of dietary magnesium. I don't know if Magnesium Citrate is the MOST bioavailable, but my chemical intuition tells me that it MUST be better than supplements containing Magnesium Oxide.3. Totes LOLed at the "citrate binds with oxalate" comment: meaningless nonsense. 1.

The label states that the Calcium is as calcium carbonate and the Magnesium is as magnesium oxide. Both 500mg each. Hope this helps.

There are old studies that purported magnesium citrate had greater bioavailability, but newer studies state that they are about equal...
