Hi,
At the risk of starting yet another magnesium discussion, I was looking at the archived discussions of magnesium. Unfortunately, I am confused about the value of magnesium chloride. One post noted that magnesium chloride was the most effective form of magnesium, particularly in its liquid form. However, almost all subsequent posts regard the orotate,aspartate, glycinate forms to be the most absorbable - with the exception of liquid magnesium.
I was hoping someone could clarify a couple of issues. I noticed that magnesium chloride is available in tablet form. Where does this fit in the scale of absorbability?
Also, liquid magnesium is said to be the most absorbable. However, the Carlson Lab's liquid magnesium lists the contents as magnesium oxide, which is considered to be a poor quality magnesium. Is magnesium oxide in this liquid form still superior to the glycinate, orotate, aspartate varieties?
I would appreciate any help in clarifying these issues.
Thanks,
Paul

Hi Paul,
I live in UK and have had trouble finding a suitable
magnesium that does not cause burning, loose
bowels.
I now take Magnesium EAP2 which is for people with
malabsorption. It is available from Biocare,
Birmingham tel. 0121 433 3727 you will have to look up
the code to England.
If you want any more information let me know.

TJ,
Thanks for the recommendation. Is this stuff more effective than the other forms or is the strength of this product that people tolerate it well?
I haven't had any problems tolerating the aspartate and glycinate forms of magnesium, but I thought I might switch to other forms if they are in fact more effective. I thought there might also be more cost effective options as well.
I will look into your recommendation as well. I went to their website, which is still under construction: www.biocare.co.uk

Hi, Paul & TJ.
Any magnesium that causes loose stools is doing so because it is not being absorbed well.
Mag chloride is a good for to use IV but not good orally.
Magnesium oxide is totally worthless any way--IV, liquid or tablet.
Hope this helps.
Walt
