This is my magnesium thread:

http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/thread1138.html

Magnesium oxide does not work so please read labels carefully.
In mixtures listing several types, if magnesium oxide is listed,
assume the majority is it. It is very inexpensive and still used
in supplements that have more than one ingredient.

My thread explains doses, and gives options.

Magnesium is lost in the urine in diabetics, and also people who use caffeine and alcohol. Some drugs deplete it also, diuretics for example. If you use an acid blocking drug regularly, the reduced acid in the stomach impacts magnesium's ability to be
absorbed. Add to that poor diet, and that is why magnesium is
low in about 70% of the US population!

I've experimented with calcium, magnesium, and many other supplements and diets over the years. I can't say that I've ever found anything that was helpful.

i think im still recovering from my stupid mag deficiency. when i was severely deficient i felt like i was going to faint ALL the time. i still feel like that sometimes. im eating pretty healthy now and i still feel like crap. just a little less crappy. from my experience mag helped with excessive burning sensations and jaw pain

the take away from me is most of us eat like ****. dont eat too much of anything.



when i had serum mag of 2.2+ my tos did go away for a few days but the rest of my body was messed up

Thanks. Looks like I'll be giving the Mg malate form a try now.
