Magnesium citrate was working quite well for tics, irritability etc. but it was having too much of a laxitive effect. Anyway, I recently ran out and was a bit short of cash so didn't buy any more.

Then I recently bought (after about two weeks) magnesium malate and started on them yesterday. Today I have a headache and I have mild flu-like aches and I feel very hot and slightly dizzy but I don't know if it's to do with the magnesium malate or not. It feels a bit like how I felt after starting Candida Clear. Which do you think it is most likely to be?:

- I'm over tired (I had a late night the other night)
- candida returning (I recently ran out of Candida Clear (about three days ago), although I don't know if I did have candida in the first place)
- the magnesium malate is chelating aluminium (I don't know whether or not my aluminium levels are high)
- some other reason

Thanks in advance for any advice.

you can try cutting back on the dose. Or dividing it up and taking 1/2 in the morning and 1/2 at night.

The malate works too...I never had side effects like you
describe. You will only tell, if you discontinue it for 2 wks and
retry it.

Maybe it's bacause I stopped the Candida Clear then :s I'd better order some ASAP because if it is that, I don't want to be without it next week when I go camping.

With the malate, do you use it for aluminium chelation?

I don't know anything about aluminum chelation.

Okay, thanks anyway

Hi. Mrs. D.

We got the Malic Acid from Puritan's Pride yesterday. Three Big bottles. What a good deal!!

I took my first pill yesterday at 5 p.m. It says to take with a meal.

The size of the pill was nothing for me to swallow. I took it with my other stuff that I take at 5 p.m.

Bottle is 180 tablets Malic Acid 825 mg. It says 1 to 3 pills a day.

I'm taking one. Just to start.

Oh, the 7 boxes of Stevia packets arrived also.

What a good deal THAT was!!

700 packets of Stevia at around $2.50 per box of 100. You can't find that price anywhere at our local GNC. And they are the only place to buy Stevia.

I would like to ask you your opinion on Multi Vitamins.

I know we all have to take them. I watched an infomercial on something called Ruby Red. It's in powdered form. The guy showed a bunch of vitamin pills and took a hammer and then said "Look at how hard it is to break up these pills". "Now look how easy it is to take Ruby Red"!!! And he just poured the powder into a bottle of water. You can mix it with anything I gather.

Is there any difference between taking tablets or powered vitamins?

And what do you think about Ruby Red. The guy was touting all it's anti oxidant properties.

And I recently saw a special about Raymond Kurzweil and his anti-aging theories and the doctor who has him on this special program so he doesn't die. The most fascinating thing I ever watched on tv. He takes 250 supplements EVERY DAY. He has type 2 diabetes and his genetic history is for heart disease. So far he's hit 60, I believe. He wants to live forever.

I looked him up on the internet. Guess what he swears by?? STEVIA.

Boy was I happy about that one.

Goodbye artificial sweetners for me.!!!

They have many vitamin mixes in their catalog.

I assume they sent you one?

In general powdered versions are more expensive.

I use a powdered magnesium called Ionic Fizz when my GI problems are pretty stable. It has other things in it too.

If the one magnesium malate stops your spasms, that's all you need. I never took more than one of those daily.

2 of them puts you close the RDA, and I would not use 3 without a doctor's approval== meaning knowing you have good kidney functioning.

Thanks my dear.

Between that (and I begun using the Benefiber today), well perhaps I shall be

HAPPILY EVER AFTER very soon!!!! lol

Oh, the benefiber is the coolest way to take fiber.

I dissolved it in a bottle of Poland Springs water. I mean, I have to drink the stuff anyway, why not make it earn it's keep.

You don't taste anything. It looks like water. No grit.

Great Invention.

And yes, they did include a catalog.

Oh, did you hear about Ruby Red? I would love to hear what you think of this product.
