How does this person know that this product is buffered with 50% magnesium oxide? I'm just a consumer and wondering where this information came from

Thank you for your interest in Nuvari's Magnesium ULTRA. The question you are referring to appears to come from a few comments posted on forums or reviews of other products that also use Albion's Buffered Magnesium BisGlycinate Chelate. Albion does not say what they use as a buffer unless you inquire of them directly. When hearing that the buffer used is Magnesium Oxide, some mistakenly jump to the conclusion that this dilutes the formula and makes it a lower quality supplement. But this simply isn't true. As mentioned in an answer to another question about our product, a clinical study done by Albion indicated that their buffered formula offered a slightly higher blood serum level of Magnesium over the non buffered formula. The purpose of this study was actually showing how Magnesium Oxide by itself has very poor bio-availability compared to Albion's formulations.* Yet indirectly the results of this study indicates that when used as a buffer along with Albion's BisGlyciante Chelate, Magnesium Oxide appears to actually offer a slight benefit. As a company, we are careful to rely on scientific research to choose the formulations that go into our products. *Source: "Magnesium: Bioavailability and tolerability of various Albion manufactured organic magnesium sources compared to magnesium oxide" (Albion Minerals, 2008).

We are happy to help! Upon review it appears that it is a possibility that we still carry the old formula which contains magnesium stearate. Unfortunately it is impossible for us to determine for certain whether we carry the old or the new formula at this time.

When I spoke to a representative of the company today she said that the compounds come from China, but their labs verify them for purity and heavy minerals. One does not know their standards.

Interesting in that a book I just read says one should only use "steam distilled" water and that if one sees black chunks formed this indicates impurities.they advise using silver bullion bars as the wire comes from China and may have impurities; " since colloidal silver changes the color of the water, Clear colloidal solutions are frequently just expensive water, regardless of any measure that sellers purportedly get. In the case of ionic silvers, it is impossible to measure the particle count, since the particles are too small to reflect light." from DEFY TOUR DOCTOR AND BE HEALED by Thomas and Sarah Corriher Interesting in that a book I just read says one should only use "steam distilled" water and that if one sees black chunks formed this indicates impurities.they advise using silver bullion bars as the wire comes from China and may have impurities; " since colloidal silver changes the color of the water, Clear colloidal solutions are frequently just expensive water, regardless of any measure that sellers purportedly get.

I have no idea where the product is from because I don't have it anymore. I wouldn't recommended the product anyway because of the problems I had with it and had to return it. You would be taking a great gamble on buying it( if you are planning on it) because the product may or may not work for you. I now get my water at the local grocery store using the RO machine and then replacing the minerals back in it by using a ionic minerals and trace elements.

I emailed the Source Naturals for explanation of the highly confusing label re: amounts of magnesium in this product but they did not respond. Bad!

I think any manufactoring process has traces of what it was made of, in this case my understanding it would be of cellulose. I have used and recommended DMSO for my patients for over thirty years - no complaints, its quite amazing!

Aloha, Edna! My guess is there are minerals in it, and the best source of that info would be to ask the Aztec Salt guys. They're VERY responsive.

The label states that the Calcium is as calcium carbonate and the Magnesium is as magnesium oxide. Both 500mg each. Hope this helps.

Everything I read/see is that this product contains magnesium citrate (400 mg) only, not calcium.

It says it is "Magnesium Glycinate Chelate Buffered" nothing about oxide. Hope this helps.

If it is magnesium oxide, it really is not the best for bio-availability. That would be magnesium taurate, which you can find here at Amazon under the Cardiovascular Research Lab label. A bit more pricey (of course!) but really the best. For my purposes, which involves severe muscle burning/cramping, I can feel it working within 30 mins. or so. My naturopath had recommended the PURE magnesium (which uses mag. citrate...probably the next best type) but explained to me how the taurate was actually the best. Or so goes my two cents worth! :^) Cheers!

I know what the ingredients are in the product by the label. No idea where they the company gets them. Look on the companies website. They had a lot of information.

This 8 oz. liquid form does not identify what form of magnesium is present here. The product label only identifies the product as;"magnesium". I presume the answer to the question can only be obtain by telephoning the company, "Mother Earth Minerals" in Ogden, UT.1-866-989-9876

Ancient Minerals is 100% pure magnesium. You can buy it in various forms: oil (which is not oil at all, not oily. It is so pure and gentle, you can not only massage your muscles with it, but you can use it as eye drops or a mouthwash); flakes, good to put into warm bath water to take a long soak; or a gel rub with the magnesium in a tube that you can carry with you. I bought all 3 forms. I have had a serious back injury for 14 years and live in pain because I don't want the surgery that will correct the pinched nerves, etc. So, when I can't bear the pain, I run my tub about 1/2 full of warm water and put 1/2 bag of flakes in it to dissolve, then soak for 20-30 minutes. When I get out, I absolutely have NO pain. (I just wish I had the money to be able to buy enough of it to do a couple of times every week, so I limit myself to using it unless I'm in unbearable pain). I just can't say enough good about this product. I learned about it by reading hundreds of hours of research on line provided by a doctor in Brazil named Dr. Sircus. The detailed information he provides is priceless, and he shares all the products he uses, their benefits, prices, and where you can buy them. Through him, I found out that magnesium is only 100% absorbable through the skin, not orally. I don't think many people know that, so they buy magnesium pills, which don't even do any good. Well, I hope I have helped you some. There is a lot to learn. All the best. Barbara Fisher
