storing magnesium supplements...
This subject came up this week. So I thought I'd bring it to this thread.
Magnesium is moisture sensitive. It is hygroscopic, and draws water vapor to it, and will sweat, and eventually degrade the tablet.
If you place magnesium supplements in pill dispensers/minders you may run the risk to damaging other drugs with this moisture attracting characteristic.
Magnesium Chloride in SlowMag is the worst in this regard, but I would consider ALL magnesium supplements to have this potential. So keep your magnesium away from other drugs, keep in a tightly sealed container, with a moisture
packet included. People living in humid conditions, may have more problems than others. Once opened, the shelf life starts to go.
I have not been able to keep SlowMag for more than several months after opening.
