what is the form of calcium and magnesium? Is it calcium citrate, malate, orotate? And what form of magnesium?

Calcium(as calcium citrate and calcium phosphate) 1000mg; Magnesium (as magnesium citrate) 40mg; Vitamin D3 (as Cholecalciferol) 1000IU; Phosphorus (as calcium Phosphate) 190mg; Boron (as Boron Aspartate) 250mcg - Provided in 2 tablespoons, and they provide a cup for the 2 tablesooon amount, which also shows 1 tablespoon line.

No, there are 200 mg of magnesium, not magnesium citrate, in each tablet. Big difference. Two tablets supply 100% of the daily value of magnesium. Check the competing brands carefully. Some of them advertise the # of mg of magnesium citrate, not magnesium, in each tablet. It's like comparing apples and oranges. If they don't tell you the daily value, it's probably because they are advertising magnesium citrate, for which there is none.

I hope calcium Citrate because that is what I am suppose to take. I just assumed by the name "citra"cal.

This is not magnesium orotate (orotic acid), it is magnesium lysinate glycinate chelate. Which to my understanding means a magnesium chelate complex with one lysine and one glycine molecule bonded to one magnesium atom. The product is sourced by Albion Laboratories, Inc. I would not recommend the orotate form of magnesium, because it's actually magnesium bis-orotate. This is due to the fact that magnesium has a ionic charge of +2 and orotatic acid has a ionic charge of -1, so magnesium ends up bonding to two orotate molecules. This is not good because it's believed the two orotate molecules prevent it, structurally, from being able to dock within the uridine monophosphate synthetase ("UMPS") enzyme. Should it be able to dock, it may (I'm speculating) interfere with orotidine-5'-phosphate decarboxylase (ODCase), as this is believed to be the case with lithium orotate. I'm of the opinion that only cations with a charge of +1 are useful in orotate form, i.g. lithium, sodium, and potassium. This form of magnesium, along with magnesium glycinate and magnesium bis-glycinate are the best forms of magnesium to use if you're supplementing for mental health reasons. Glycine is a neurotransmitter and NMDA co-agonist. NMDA dysfunction has been implicated in many mental health disorders, especially in particular psychotic symptoms and schizophrenia. Thus magnesium glycinate has a dual acting effect on NMDA receptors, helping to restore normal NMDA function.

The bottle just says Calcium from calcium citrate. I think its different than calcium carbonate which is derived from many sources. I bought it because it IS calcium citrate. I take calcium in both citrate and carbonate.

Magnesium Citrate is a known treatment for constipation. I had too much diarrhea from it to take the dose I needed.

Thank you so very much. The other forms have other ingredients. So just to make sure it is pure magnesium and no other added ingredients?

Citracal Maximum does "not" have magnesium in it. If you want magnesium, then you have to buy Citracal, PLUS-magnesium.

Never mind, I found it! It's carbonate. http://www.naturemade.com/Products/Minerals/Calcium-Magnesium-and-Zinc

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

I am not familiar with different forms of magnesium, but I am pretty sure that magnesium aspartate and Aspartame are two very different things. Aspartame is an artificial sweetener, and you are right: dangerous to your health. I would google magnesium aspartate if I was you, but it seems to me that it's just one of many different forms magnesium comes in. Magnesium Glycinate is the form most easily absorbed by the body.

A simple answer is magnesium citrate is just a pure form of magnesium alone such as oxide and gluconate. They differ in the way the body absorbs it. Oxide tends to be absorbed the worst from my readings. Magnesium Taurate is actually a blend of both magnesium and taurine, ideally giving you the benefits of both.

I think this is the one that was the same ratio-I bought it by accident-Natural Vitality, natural calm plus calcium is more magnesium 230mg calcium-350mg magnesium plus c,d,potassium and boron-you can call them at 866-416-9216
