I know that Mag Ox is NOT the kind of magnesium to take. I can't remember what form mrsd suggests.
The doctor who helped set up my daughter's regimen told us to take Magnesium Glycinate.
Carlson has magnesium glycinate, although I have found it cheaper on other sites than on their own. There are a few other manufacturers as well, but you will have to look for it (like methylcobalamin and P5P... not always found at the grocery store).
Klaire lab has a P5P plus product that contains P5P plus magnesium glycinate. One stop shopping. This is actually the product that was recommended to us, and the capsules are nice and small. The Carlson labs magnesium glycinate are horse pills. You should be able to locate either by googling around a bit.
My mom's doctor had her on 800mg daily of magnesium oxide, and she was
still showing up low. I gave her a bottle of the magnesium glycinate....and she did great with it. It was obviously better absorbed.
