Re: how much magnesium do i need

500mg/day is good for optimal health.

Re: how much magnesium do i need

For best absorption I think Chelated minerals are the best -- I like and use Carlson and Solgar.

I have heard for best absorbtion magnesium chloride is best sprayed on the skin or taken orally as a liquid "magnesium for life"can tell you more about it. I don't think you can overdose on it, you may just have diarrhea if you have too much or itching in the area.
I bought mine online but that's the one you spray on.

The ocean minerals I normally have a bath in and I cannot find the oral one on that website, but I will post another reply of the oral liquid. I found the magnesium spray particularly good for a chronic shoulder problem I have had for years and GP's offered cortizone injections, therapeutic ultra-sounds etc and neither worked. The magnesium did. It makes you wonder who the researcher/professional is here. Most of the time I find you search for and find your own remedies for any illness. Anyway

Re: How much magnesium do I need?

yodle,
I did a search and read about using magnesium chloride both as a liquid and as a tablet for use orally. It sounds great and certainly worth trying.

I will order some from vitacost. I have never heard of using minerals as a spray on but I am open to it's use.

Thanks for the information,

Harry
