OK. I was brave. I took the mag.
As it stands I only need to take 1 teaspoon once a day or at night. In terms of the kegel exercises, I am not having any problems with my urine, however my doctor suggested as a result of a recent accident (back injury)that I needed to strengthen my abdominal muscles etc. The funny thing. I have not done any exercises, lol. Still doing heat treatments. |

I just scanned through this thread and then looked at the label on the cal/mag product that we are using. It contains Mg Carbonate and Mag Hydroxide in a liquid form. Should I ditch it and buy a different product? I can't find much info on any of these forms of mag.
Thanks, Laurie |

Laurie,
I am not familiar with a product such as you describe. What is it called? I have been taking Ionic-Fizz Magnesium Plus for two weeks now. I get this product at my local health food store. It is also readily available from the internet. I have a number of muscles in my neck, back, hips, and arms that have always been very hard and tight. With a lot of self-massage, most of them have gotten at least 50% better. I think in another two weeks, they will be pretty much normal. |

I'm looking around PubMed today for data on this and another question. This is a newer paper than I quoted earlier: Quote:
http://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/magnesium.asp You can see that inorganic salts have higher ratios, but according to some testing being done, have lower absorption ranges. Typically magnesium hydroxide is in Milk of Magnesia...typically it is not a good source of magnesium, as it is fundamentally a laxative. That means it remains in the GI tract and causes water to enter the gut and effect evacuation. But people differ. Very constipated people do not mind, if some laxative actions occur. Sensitive people would be troubled by it. If you have a positive response, feel better, etc..then you are probably getting enough for you. Relaxing muscles, less tension, and sleeping better are signs that magnesium is working for you. I do like the Ionic Fizz too, but it does loosen me up if I use it every day. There are also magnesium glycinate products. (not mentioned in the article above) http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/q...t_uids=7815675 Quote:
Here is an older article: Quote:

Thank you, Mrs. D. I will stick with the product that we are using since my son has not had any intestinal distress, and he doesn't mind taking it. I'm not sure if it is as effective as his previous Mag/Cal supps however, he is much more compliant with this. I'm also curious as to the effect of pH. I understand that Mg can be very alkaline. Can this have an adverse effect on digestion?

It is the hydroxide and carbonate portion that is responsible for the
antacid effects. Not the magnesium portion. Magnesium ions are complexing agents...bind with drugs to prevent absorption however. That is why I put up the interactions list. It would depend on how much and how often the hydroxide type was given. If only once a day, then the acid would return later. Our stomachs work best acid. Proteins need acid for break down and so do other nutrients for absorption. The other mag products do not neutralize acid the same way as far as I know.

Mrs. D,
I've ordered the Ionic Fizz Magnesium, but I'm wondering if it will interfere with the Calcium/Vit.D absorbtion? And what would you recommend for the best Cal/D supplement. I need bone to be re-built very badly and want to take the very best supplements. Thanks for being here. Billye |

the Ionic Fizz will be a problem, with the other. However, they do state that it takes some time to build mag stores back up.
Since you already take a calcium supplement, you won't need the other Ionic Fizz Calcium plus. I saw muscle relaxation fairly quickly. But I can't take this every day, more than 5 in a row and I get loose...like with all mag products...sigh.

Thanks Mrs. D,
The "looseness" won't be a problem. Always have trouble there from the Sjogren's dryness. But I'm really glad to know it won't cause problems. I got it yesterday and it really tastes good. Thanks for the info, 'preciate it. Billye |
