Would taking higher doses help? Taking with fat has already been recommended. Will that help? Just wondering about this. I have not seen the aqueous forms, but I will look for them. |

Just a reminder... this thread is for MAGNESIUM discussions.
Please start a new thread for other topics, as this one is getting rather long already with just the magnesium information.

I may have asked this before but I've tried slow-mag, Now foods magnesuim citrate, and jarrow formula magnesium chloride/taurine. Mostly all of them were big chunky pills, especially the slow-mag which is basically a quarter size pill the thickness of a mentos only bigger. Is there any ones out there that are smaller than these? or come in capsule form? or better? I did get the liquid magnesium chloride by nutricology once as well, which was okay
Well Now foods magnesium Citrate is in capsule form and is something easy to swallow but i do not like the makeup of it or how it works.

Sorry... magnesium is a mineral similar to calcium. Both end up as large tablets, when taken orally. SlowMag is more the size of an aspirin rather than a mentos IMO. It is a bit fatter in thickness however.
IMO it is about the size of an Ecotrin.. enteric coated aspirin. You can choose to eat foods high in magnesium and then not need any supplement at all! Thank you for returning to the topic of this thread. I a really appreciate it.

Yah i know, maybe ill just wait for someone to come by that has purchased other types of magnesium if there is such a person. Until then, I'll probably try to just purchase the liquid again.

Actually all the tablet forms of magnesium are MUCH larger than
the SlowMag. SlowMag only has 64mg in it, which isn't much. The chelates are all huge. Magnesium malate especially is very large. It has 150mg magnesium and 850mg of malate, and is almost an inch long. Since you have swallowing problems the liquids or powders (Ionic fizz and Calm) would be best for you. You can continue with the lotion... it is absorbed. It just does so silently you can't feel anything. I use it before bedtime and it helps me relax too. If you had muscle cramps or other symptoms you'd notice right away. Taking a bath in epsom salts also is effective. 4-6 oz in a tub of lukewarm water.

Yeah i do love my epsom salt baths, that's one thing that i know is helpful. I don't have a liking to lotions in general exact mabye some zoltaren for my kness, but that's about it.
Just a tidbit about the coq10 since mag and coq are both mitochondrial related. I tried the epichealth coq-gel forte one and it is fantastic, in fact i believe the lower doses of it are more effective for me, and it doesnt overload. I guess because it is solubolized? correct if im wrong. the ionic fizz ive just basically despised the taste, whether thru related issues or anxieties i had been having at the time, or rather just the taste of it. It tastes like a, or one of those vitamin cold supplements that you drop the tab in and it fizzes. I prefer something that tastes like it's going to work, like magnesium chloride.

Yes, the Epic4Health product is called Q-gel and solubilized hence you don't need high doses. 30 to 50mg should do.
People taking Statins for cholesterol would need higher because they cannot make their own Co-Q10

Here is a recent link to a discussion about magnesium and migraine:
http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/thread166575.html And here are some examples of papers on PubMed which represent some of the medical papers on this subject: Quote:

Also I am finding today some sites online that still recommend the oxide, so one has to avoid that advice to see any benefit.
