SlowMag is good. It was designed to be targeted to doctors.

Two a day in divided doses is the typical dose.

SlowMag is magnesium chloride, and well absorbed, so the amount in each tablet is smaller than the larger chelates.

Thanks! That's good to know. Is it better to take it with food? Would it be ok to take the SlowMag with my Omega 3? Does it cause constipation? Just checking.

You can take it with food. The last thing it could be is constipating!

My problem with Slow Mag is it also has calcium:

Quote:
Each two-tablet serving of Slow-Mag® Magnesium Supplement Tablets contains 143 mg of elemental magnesium and 238 mg of calcium. Slow-Mag® Tablets, with magnesium chloride, provide increased absorption versus the magnesium oxide formulation used in many other magnesium supplement products.
http://www.slowmag.com/

Not only that, the ratio isn't good. Dr. Carolyn Dean has plenty to say about Calcium supplements.

Why I Hate Calcium | Dr Carolyn Dean MD ND

Cancel the Calcium | Dr Carolyn Dean MD ND

An alternative slow-release Mg supplement is offered by Jigsaw:

http://www.jigsawhealth.com/supplements/magnesium

As far as I can tell, it has no calcium.

I tried it once, but couldn't tell one way or the other if it helped. I contacted them once to ask for data about absorption rates. No answer.

I remain committed to Magnesium Chloride bath salt.

i think l will buy the cream and use the bath salts.
I suppose they are absorbed at the same rate.
If l use both, is it possible to have too much?

I prefer not taking any kind of oral mag. I used to have the powder, but it used to make me feel weird.

You can choose to eat your magnesium.

Almonds, beans, etc.
