Where to begin...Its involved in over 300 enzymatic actions in the body second only to Vit B-6. Main notables are lowing high blood pressure, provides energy for muscle cells (ATP), helps calcium absorb and form bone density, muscle spasm's etc...I take it twice a day for its benefits (magnesium citrate).......

Yes, what 6foot3 said is certainly true. Magnesium is very important in many respects. As for myself, I take Magnesium Asporotate, which is a formulation that provides magnesium aspartate, magnesium citrate, and magnesium orotate.

Numero UNO: no supplement is as useful in promoting a steady rhythmical heart beat.
Anyone with palpitations or tachycardia should try magnesium before anything else...it often works wonders.

I picked up some super Mag. Which contains Vit. C-250mg and Magn.400mg
I am going to take it once a day. It was reccommended to me by a friend for very slow bowels and not being able to relax. I always feel like I have to be on the go. The only thing that ever scares me is I was born with only one kidney and don't want to chance anything with it. Any advice?
Thanks again for all your help,

how does that form compare in terms of absorbabilty/useability to chelated magnesium?

Chelates are ''amino acids'' that are bound with metal ions (magnesium) so they are absorbed in the intestines via the amino acid portal where as Citrates are ''ionic salts'' that bound to metal ions (magnesium) and transport them easily across the intestines. Both work well and i personally prefer the Citrates. Also Chelates require a certain amino acid(s) so mixing them with other proteins may affect absorbtion where as Citrates don't have this problem.......

Hey 6fot 3. What dosage of Magnesium do you take daily?

Sure ... i take 500 mg twice a day with meals.I do not take it with any calcium foods or supplements so it will be absorbed in the small intestines better......

Just a note. Many people cannot take the citrate form because it can cause the loose stool symdrome. This was certainly my case. However, I have no problem with Mag glycinate (chelated).

magnesium has pretty much wiped out all my vertigo I was having for a year and a half along with my head pressure. Its been a miracle mineral for me, anyone else have a similar story to share about magnesium?

I just noticed that I have the Magnesium Oxide and Mag. Stearate. Why aren't these as good as the Citrate and others mentioned so far? Thanks, Steve

Steve,
One is as good as another, buy for the cheapest price. I buy only Magnesium Oxide but if I run out even the awful tasting epsom salts (magnesium sulfate hexahydrate) will do in a pinch.
For somethiing as readily soluble as magnesium salts, taking them as expensive chelates is a waste of money.

Does anyone know if you have to take calcium with the magnesium? I have heard both ways. :confused:
