canefan- I just was told there are people with specific problems associated with magnesium absorption and the problem was the different kinds of magnesium being used. The doc said one kind was good for this, and the other for that.
Of course, I paid no attention beyond that point, as I have a bad reaction to magnesium and didn't plan to use it anyway. If you would like, I will track down the doctor and ask - and write it down this time- what was what. Let me know if I can be of help in this regard.

Ive been using CALM recently. When getting off pain meds after surgery i needed something that would work fast cuz of cramping. Thus works fast. It is a powder you put in hot water like a tea. It tastes lemony-you can use sweetner if you need to i guess. It works really fast
For 20 yrs before i used mag tab sr reccomended by dr b
That worked good but not fast

If you have access to IV Mg, or Myers cocktail, which also contains vit. C and the B vitamins, this is the most helpful. At least in my experience.
Topical works pretty well too, also epsom salts baths.

CALMS does work fast.
if I get cramps- the kind that you think you're gonna die- I drink it and within 2 minutes they are gone.
it comes in flavors too- lemon, raspberry, plain (yuck)

I take pure encapsulation Magnesium Glycinate with no problems. The pure encapsulation brand of vitamins is a little price but they don't have any junk fillers. I think their products are high quality.

The CALM supplement causes brain fog and blurred vision for me.
Ugh I can never take stuff that others can. What's the deal with that?

I can't take CALM either, for me I think it's the citrate that's the problem.
The only magnesium I can tolerate is sublingual. Mother Earth (no flavor) or Angstrom (haven't tried it, but it's suppose to be salty) are the brands.
The oil burns my skin, epsom salt burns my skin, and all the pills hate my gut (I've tried every kind of magnesium pill out there, you name it, it's in my failed supplements drawer).

Do you struggle to take other things as well or just the magnesium?

The Mag Phos 6x cell salt is a sublingual. Maybe it
will be tolerable?
