T. Caporaletti, magnesium products are well known for their laxative properties. Any time you take upwards of 400 - 500 mgs of elemental magnesium daily it's not uncommon to have laxative issues, or, the problem can occur if you have a higher sensitivity to magnesium. You might want to spread out your intake over the course of the day, or try a "time release" magnesium product, like JigSaw Magnesium w/SRT, which is excellent. RWM

Magnesium Citrate is such a laxative that it is dosed before a colon exam! Versus this Magnesium Glycinate, easiest gastrointestinal Mag & this lower-priced & pure bulk form w/o bad additives/fillers often in pre-encapsulated. You can drink or put into capsules yourself (PureCaps on Amazon best). If you prefer flavored, Vitacost's Kirkman Buffered Mag.Gly tastes good w/o bad additives/fillers & is comparably priced :)

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.

Yes. But it is very easy to swallow. There are many types of Magnesium supplements out there ( sulfate vs citrate) and this is the right one to be taking ( this correct type is difficult to find). I find the benefits are worth the size of the capsule-shaped pill ( not a big round pill). I hope I helped you.

Mine is Magnesium Buffered Chelate. The reason I bought it was because of it being Chelated...the best form of Magnesium I believe. I'm sorry that I therefore can not answer your question. Try contacting the seller through Amazon. Maybe they can find the Chelated Magnesium for you. I hope so.

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.

Thank You for your question regarding Nuvari's Magnesium ULTRA. We work hard to offer consumers the highest quality products available on the market and so we are happy to answer any questions. Our product is indeed buffered and we feel strongly that, when it comes to Magnesium supplements, this is actually a good thing! Albion's Buffered Magnesium does use Magnesium oxide as a buffering agent, but it does not comprise 50% of the supplemental Magnesium as mentioned by the questioner. Of the 150mg of Magnesium in one VCap, at least 90mg will be in the chelated bisglycinate form. We believe this formulation is a superior form of supplemental Magnesium for two primary reasons: First, it is proven to be gentler on stomachs. The alkaline pH of Buffered Magnesium counteracts the acid in the stomach, neutralizing any stomach upset. Second, Magnesium Bisglycinate buffered with Magnesium oxide is clinically proven to offer higher blood serum levels of Magnesium. A study by Albion Labs indicates that the overall absorption of their buffered form was slightly higher than the same amount of their non-buffered formula.* We believe our consumers may count on Nuvari's 100% Buffered Magnesium Bisglycinate Chelate formula to have a higher bioavailability and delivery to the bloodstream than other oral magnesium supplements while also being gentle on the stomach. *Source: "Magnesium: Bioavailability and tolerability of various Albion manufactured organic magnesium sources compared to magnesium oxide" (Albion Minerals, 2008).

Floyd, Go back to the product page at Now Foods Calcium & Magnesium, 250 Tablets and look to the left of the picture. There are more pictures of the bottle from many angles. Just click on them until you find what you're looking for. I also just uploaded my own image in the proper orientation for reading, but it's a bit blurry. It should be available in a few minutes. Hope this helps!

I do not believe there is any magnesium in citracal, only ca citrate and d3, there is magnesium in other ingredients portion, it does not state the amount

The bottle that I purchased says Magnesium citrate only ..., no calcium. I believe this company sells a magnesium/calcium combo but this is not the one I purchased or the Solgar Magnesium Citrate that was emailed to me to answer your specific question to. Hope that answers your question.

As other reviewers have already posted, this is magnesium oxide, the hardest to digest for some. I've taken it and haven't had any stomach problems, but it can cause nausea for some. Having had Roux-N-Y, must be careful of the stomach. My doctor recommends a protein-bound source such as Magnesium Malate or Glycinate as being the best, but to take at least Magnesium Citrate for higher digestability.

Magnesium Taurate is magnesium combined with taurine. It's my understanding that for oral applications magnesium must be bound to something. The issue is what is trying to be accomplished. Most other combinations of magnesium can result in some type of stomach reaction, stool softening or a laxative effect. May Taurate is about the only magnesium combination that we have heard of that doesn't appear to do that so that you get the benefit of the magnesium and the taurine.

Why is this called magnesium oil, when in fact it is just ions of mag salt in aqueous solution? This is how snake oil is sold, not medically efficacious treatments. Can someone please explain?

I'd quit the calcium supplement as we usually get enough from our food. Too much calcium without magnesium can cause big problems.

I don't know how much magnesium is in each spray, but I do know my Dr told me to apply it to tight painful muscles that I have due to Fibromyalgia. I mostly apply to shoulders and upper arms because that's where the pain usually is. He said most is not absorbed into the blood stream, but if it is, it just loosens the bowels and goes out that way. You can't have a toxic buildup.
