Wow! I have read all of these links on magnesium. Quite overwhelming. I have severe
FM and RSD. I ordered the mag. cream from Kirkland suggested by Mrs. D/ Mrs. D you also recommended ,mag lactate over citrate. Idid some additional research on the citrate. Looks like it is for constipaton? Also I read somewhere that it shouldn't be taken with calcium. I took a closer look at my oral supplement and see that I am taking calcium citrate(600mg) and Magnesium citrate 300 mg. also included is400 IU D. I have had chronic diarreha for weeks as I have been double dosing it daily. Most of the labels don't say what kind of mag. it is. I called Life Extensions (good co.). Their product is citrate. Any suggestions for findng the mag. lactate ? Also, I take myo mag from Health Product distributors. It has numerous B vitamins (minimal amts.) 5 mg maganese and 440 L malic acid(from Mg malate and malic acid. Any thoughts as to sources and quantities of good magnesium for severe FM Sydney |

Magnesium citrate is a laxative..but there is a threshold, for each person according to dose. Some people can tolerate it in lower doses, but others
can't. Calcium in the citrate form, as well as the mag citrate, are favored for people with a history of calcium oxalate kidney stones (about 80% of stones are this type). The citrate form is used to deliver calcium for these patients. This is one place to find the magnesium lactate: http://www.medshopexpress.com/081989.html Magnesium lactate (MgL) is “Mag-Tab SR” : 84 mg (7 mEq) elemental magnesium. The salt MgL contains 12% Mg. You can find SlowMag and its generics locally. There is practically no diarrhea risk with them. The generics are MagDelay and Mag64... I buy mine at WalMart--the pharmacist orders them for me, behind the counter. 60 are only about $6.00. Affordable and effective. Two per day is enough. You don't have to buy the most expensive just because lactate showed up well in studies. The Magnesium Chloride in SlowMag works just as well. And BTW...SlowMag (brand name) was formulated originally by the Searle company for use by doctors to treat magnesium deficiency. The patent is now owned by Purdue. It has been around a long time, as over the counter. You can buy magnesium malate at Puritan's Pride: http://www.puritan.com/pages/file.as...CPID=1280&np=1 This is one I use sometimes, and my son all the time. But sometimes it gives my diarrhea, so I prefer the SlowMag. However, the malic acid in this, is recommended for fibro patients. So if you want to get more for your $$...you might try the Puritan product... They have sales all the time, and are very quick and dependable. Their mailing fees remain the same low price regardless of how much you order...I get alot of my standard yearly vits at their buy one get 2 free sales.

If I recall correctly, BonnieG used the taurate, because she found taurine
helpful for TS. Certainly since the mag taurate is not common and hard to find, you can supplement them separately... Taurine itself is very inexpensive, but I don't know its availability in Australia. I know in Canada some amino acids are restricted. I don't think, there is much mag in each tablet of magnesium taurate. Labeling for this product is confusing... I don't think it is 125mg of magnesium...as that would be a huge capsule. I don't recall the size being that large. Elemental values for taurate are about 9% mag. http://www.amazon.com/Cardiovascular.../dp/B00014D5TS All of the chelates give better absorption than the old oxide. The taurate was originally formulated for cardiovascular issues (arrythmias). http://www.drhoffman.com/page.cfm/519 Certainly you can use them separately if you cannot find this product.

Thanks for your response, mrsd.
Yes, the Taurine is very expensive. Used not be able to find it here, but I've not looked in a couple of years. It's possibly available now. I used to buy a really good powder from an osteopath for my RLS. It was calcium/magnesium and some other things. It didn't have the taurine as the mag. but it was chelated magnesium. I just forget which one it was right now. Anyway, thanks for the info. Appreciated. |

Hi Lara
we have never used the mag taurate as my son has been on the calcium/magnesium/zinc with separate taurine for years (in mg of each 1000/500/50 plus 500 each evening) I do know that when we stop giving the taurine, he feels the difference with more frequent tics. As MrsD said.......here taurine is relatively inexpensive and readily available http://www.iherb.com may have reasonable shipping rates to Australia as they seem reasonable on all other things too...dont know if you are allowed to ship it into the country tho
