So much info out there on this supplement so I was wondering if anyone takes this? I've read that magnesium oxide is not the one to take. I did read about magnesium malate and that it may help fibro patients.
I'm already taking vit D and B12...also just added krill oil. The only thing on store shelves is magnesium oxide. Thanks for your help! I know that there is an ongoing thread on magnesium...I've read it and am a bit confused.

I take MagOx as directed by the cardiologist...

Bumping this. I know many more take Magnesium. Mariel, for instance is particular about what she takes.

I have no info for you but plenty of good wishes!

I think if you check magnesium on the peripheral neuropathy thread you'll find that Mrs. D (the resident 'supplement guru') advises a different kind of magnesium since the oxide variety isn't used well by the body. On her recommendation I take magnesium malate -- seems to work. But do search the stickies in the PN thread for more information. Best to everyone!

Thanks! Marcia, I was wondering, does the mag malate give you any give you side affects that can come with magnesium use? Kind of had the runs in mind. Thanks for your reply!!
