Looking for suggestions on brands of Magnesium?

Does brand matter?

Thanks.

My LLD recommends NutraMedix Magnesium Malate, which I'm giving to my daughter, K.

I've been using CALM powdered magnesium for years and have liked it.

Also, if you are having muscle cramping or pain, your doc can order magesium cream from a compounding pharmacy, which K has found helpful.

Hello!

I use Peter Gillham's Natural Calm, which is a powdered magnesium citrate that mixes completely into warm/hot water.

For magnesium and calcium together, you could try A to B Calm formula.

both are acidic, which is needed to get them into the system.

I prefer liquids to pills for these supplements, as the pill form usually passes through the digestive tract like a rock.

Best,

Cass A

I use Peter Gillham's Natural Calm. You have it at night mixed with hot water. It works well for me for the last 22 months.

It makes me regular and consistent.

NSI appears to have a great Magnesium Supplement for 10 dollars with 180 servings and a large amount in mg for 1 capsule:

The summary for the supplement says:

quote:

An essential mineral needed by every cell of your body, magnesium helps support normal cardiovascular, muscle, nerve, bone, and cellular function and plays a part in more than 300 enzymatic reactions, including energy production and transport, the activation of B vitamins, proper nerve function and the formation and maintenance of protein, fatty acids and bone. Magnesium is vital for cell formation, and helps to form adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the body's energy source.

NSI� Magnesium Ultra provides a variety of the beneficial forms and amounts, including the malate form, which blends magnesium and malic acid (a nutrient that assists in the process of transforming food into energy), the chelate form (which is organic for enhanced absorption), the very common oxide form (which may impart a laxative effect), and the taurinate form (derived from the amino acid taurine, which may benefit fat absorption and cellular stability.
