I'm very disappointed that iherb just had this new magnesium formula in the form of flakes that could dissolve in water. But they, just ran out, and it said they would have more in on wednesday may 9th but then stopped.

I also am having money troubles lately. I wish that the iherbs rewards program there that I could find an easier way to rack up points. I gave my card out to people, only a few used it. Ohh well.

There are many posts on the web that claim it is no better than other forms of absorbable magnesium.

You can google that and find them easily...
I used the key phrase,
does magnesium threonate really work

You can try it, however and come back and tell us about it.
Here is a rat only study:
http://blog.lef.org/2012/01/brain-he...threonate.html
only about 60% of rat studies pertain to human response however.

I am getting great responses myself to magnesium lotion containing magnesium sulfate, and continue to use it. It helps me sleep, and takes the swelling down in my surgical foot. (old surgical scar and damage).

I think the CVS brand version is not that great IMO. I generally don't like CVS brand lotions anyways. And I try to use Eucerin for dry skin.

I don't know what you expect from magnesium in the first place.
I've completely lost all track of what you are trying to accomplish.

The CVS Epsom lotion is an alternative for oral use of supplements. People low in magnesium, have certain problems, like poor circulation, muscle tension, cramping. Peripheral Neuropathy which needs reduction of NMDA pain receptors. Magnesium is helpful for some ADHD problems as well.

But most of the HUNDREDS of actions of magnesium in the body's chemistry is silent.

Those of us on PN who use the topical form of magnesium do not use it for dry skin. We use it for the absorption of the magnesium. It does help to some extent however I've found for emollient use. It was formulated as a massage lotion which I read somewhere to soothe stiffness etc.

I am trying all different possible options for controlling migraine but no avail so far. Verapamil 240mg a day has reduced frequency from every 3rd day to 2X-3X a month but when there is a migraine attack, a whole day or two are wasted.

Tried butterbur extract for 5 months with no avail.

Now, I am on the way to give Magnesium a try (as ulcerative colitis patients as well migraneuers are known to have low serum Mg). I read through a previous megathread on Magnesium and learned a lot but the thread is old and few links were dead so here I am to ask SPECIFICALLY
If you are taking Magnesium supplements for migraine,
- What form do you take?
- A link to the product you are using.
- How long did it take to see any effect
- If you discontinued as you didn't see any results, how many months did you take Mg supplements?
- Any other supplement needed along with Mg? (Read about Ca supplementation but no evidence to be found)

Don't want to sound arrogant, at the same time, I don't want any more explanation (unless asked) as megathread covered majority of essential stuff on it (although migraine wasn't an indication discussed) and I would like this thread to be very specific to the question.

Many thanks in advance.

Didn't see much change after a year or so, and I stopped taking it. Recently I read "The Magnesium Solution for Migraines" by Jay Cohen, and it got me interested in trying it again. He talks about how different types of magnesium are absorbed differently, and advises to take the chelated form of magnesium, such as magnesium citrate, glycinate or malate. After some research, I ordered "Doctor's Best" brand high absorption 100% Chelated magnesium on Amazon. This brand had many positive reviews on Amazon, including a few migraine sufferers. I have only been taking it for a week now, not sure if it will help or not. But since I did used to take the cheap stuff, I figured it's work another shot. Hope that helps!
I am just curious, after almost 5 month, do you see any effect?
