Magnesium chloride that is not in a long acting formulation, may be laxative. But it is a form that is readily absorbed. Notice that the product has only 62mg of elemental mag in it. That is not very much, so it might be ok for you. Start one a day or at 2 a day in divided doses with this.

I use the long acting versions of this, and it can still loosen me up.

Many people use magnesium citrate. It also can loosen you up.
Magnesium in citrate form, is used to clean out the bowel in large doses= Citrate of Magnesia -- found in most drug stores.

I get most of my magnesium from foods. 3oz of almonds have 270mg, beans, Edamame beans, yogurt, oatmeal are also fair sources.

Start slowly at one a day, to see how you react. And understand that labels do not always give elemental values. It is the elemental value you use to derive the 200mg/day dose, not the combined weight of the total product.

Without knowing how much oxide is in this is it worth chancing?

Marty... I don't really think so.

Most mixed formulas are primarily oxide...esp when the price is low. I've called places up on their toll free number and they can't even tell me the ratios! So basically I don't recommend mixtures for that reason. There is basically NO REASON to mix them up that way anyway. It just sounds "impressive". Some people react to things like this because they sound important. I think it is a
marketing ploy, myself.

Hello,
After reading and reviewing my supplements has anyone ever posted a basic recipe of daily supplements to take and where can I find it. Thanks
Lanny

I was soooooo relieved when my son told me there was not going to be a line per say. It was just the two of them while the parents mingled with the guests. I was really stressing out about this because I would of been sitting. Wish he would of told me this 6 months ago. LOL I would sit until I felt I could stand long enough to talk someone. It was great!

I took this picture myself and was suprised it turned out pretty good

I have been asking this myself. I have been putting one together for myself according to what I have been able to find out and per what the good folks here have been telling me. The one I started with was this one.

Lanny---remind me of your situation, meds you take etc. I can't remember your details. Do you have diabetes? did you take statins/Cipro, etc ...things like that.

I'll look it over and post to you before I leave for vacation.
Some things work better for somethings than others.
I'd like to save you money as well as get you going, on what may help.

I know it's hard to do but I'm trying to keep all these vitamins reasonable Not sure why the mag seems to problematic for me. LOL I would love slow release but can't find anything that's pretty reasonable.



Would these two below be a better choice the the above two??

(630mg of Magnesium Citrate) (.05cents for 250mg) Not sure of the elemental mag in this? I could split up the doses to make it last longer.

150mg of Malate! (.05cents for 150mg) Not as big a dose.
http://www.iherb.com/Magnesium-Malat...blets/692?at=0[/quote]How does the elemental factor work?? If it says 520mg but only 63mg elemental what happens to the rest? (457mg's)??

Vacation! For fun!!!! Have a great time... you need one after all the pestering I've given you.

When you leaving and when you be back if you don't mind me asking? Just so I know your not ignoring me.

Marty...do you have a WalMart? They sell Mag64 there.
You could get it that way. It is the gentlest version IMO.

This is what the bottle looks like:

I get mine at Costco. You don't have to be a member to use the pharmacy there. (at my Costco it is $5.15 for a month's supply).
Not all Costcos have the same OTC special items. Call ahead and ask. I see 3 of them in Salt Lake City. The pharmacy can order it for you, with a couple of days wait. In all pharmacies it is behind the counter, but does not need an RX.

Any pharmacy can order this for you...but I can't estimate how much they would charge.

This type of magnesium was called SlowMag...and developed for doctors to use. It has always been OTC but the brand is about $13 to $15 dollars compared to the generic Mag64.

Your wedding pic is wonderful...I get so teary at weddings etc!
The bride and groom are just handsome and lovely. It will be a grand day for you I bet.

Our goal to leave is the end of next week...depending on rain. I will put up a new avatar and picture so everyone will know.
I have no electricity up there, but when we do the laundry I charge stuff up at the laundromat and if the wifi is on next door we can go online briefly. (it is free sponsored by the tourist center). But sometimes it is "down" and then I am out of luck. We do charge our
laptop for the camera photos and my MP3 this way too while the clothes are washing. I have a 1 hr super fast battery charger too.
The plugs were put in there for ironing I think, but we just charge up all our electronics instead! LOL
