The only vitamin I order online is magnesium glycinate. It is by metgenics(spelling?) I think. A holistic doc I saw suggested it and though I am not sure if it helps I read it is a good kind. I hope you have a good time or did at the wedding.

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 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.

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.

Here is some information on Niacin safety:

http://lpi.oregonstate.edu/infocente...cin/index.html
Niacin has been studied for quite a while now, because in really high doses, it is used to lower cholesterol in some patients.

Most commercial B-complexes have nicotinamide as the niacin form.

Anyone getting liver toxicity at the lower doses, may have a reason for that...pre-existing liver damage from viruses or other situations.
