Has anyone used this specific product, Swanson Ultra Magnesium Chloride Flakes to make tofu? If so, how did it come out vs. food grade Nigari?

No. I have only used it to make a magnesium cream and magnesium oil. I have used it in baths, never in food. Sorry. I didn't know you could use it to make tofu.
2082886
Not me. I use it to only make a topical (rub) solution to massage into sore, stiff muscles. Sorry...

I bought this product on the wrong assumption because of an article I read about treating arthritis with the Magnesium Chloride Flakes. After reading the WARNINGS, I decided not to use it at all, these is what the warnings say; "Avoid contact with eyes. For external use only. If skin irritation occurs, discontinue use". So even for external use is dangerous. I would explore a different product, my container is unopened still, send me your information and pay for the freight and I will send it to you FREE.

I can only answer part of your question. I would write to the company for further information. www.swansonvitamins.com orcall 1-800 437-4148. The gelatin is made of plants fiber - Pectin from apples is commonly used. There is no mention of leador if extracted oil is better than the freeze dried product. I know that Swanson is a company that makes superior products. I hope this helps at least a little. Oh, in reply to answer #1, the label clearly is marked that it is a plant basedcellulose based gelatin - not animal products of any kind. Unless you live in New Zealand, you probabl;y would not easily find the raw green lipped muscle around. I can only answer part of your question.

it didnt say anything about ingredients. So I do not know if it is only calcium chloride or it gets something more. Where to find without additives, I have not idea. I bought this one to make fresh cheese and it works, but I can not answer your others questions. Sorry.

The texture is more of an icy , but as they melt it becomes smoother. I think it also depends on the ingredients you use. The one I made was kale, spinach, chia, strawberry, pineapple, blueberry, raspberry, honey and water. I put all those ingredients in my Nutribullet and then poured it into the Zoku and in 7 minutes they were done and they were supper delicious, my kids loved them and wanted to have two at a time.... Hope this helps!

To the best of my knowledge, it is the real deal, but I would question if any such product, natural ground material, is completely pure, merely close. For example, natural salt is not completely pure, yet praised for its mineral impurities as well. I have no reason to believe this product is any different. Since I'm using mine for chickens outside, it is not an issue. Best of luck with the product.

I bought and use the San-J Organic Tamari. The ingredient list is: water, organic soybeans, salt, organic alcohol (to preserve freshness)

Good question. Long answer:I have been mixing mine. I combine 1/2 cap ionic Magnesium with 1/2 cap Ionic Zinc, 1 cap Potassium and 1 cap Ionic Selenium all in 3/4 cup of water. Followed by 1tsp Bicarbonate of Soda in 1/2 cup water and (separately) 1tsp of Ascorbic Acid in 1/2 cup water. Then 20 min later 15 lateral drops of Lugol's 2% Iodine in 1/2 cup Distilled water. I did not read these directions, I do not recommend this system, although I have been following same X 1 month and it seems to work for me...so far. After all look at the combinations in one daily multivitamin. Welcome any insights or constructive comments.

It's already less fine than coconut flakes you buy in the store. Maybe you could put it in a food processor or blender, but I would just buy coconut flour.

The material used is essentially the same as that used by Epicurean for their peels and cutting boards, etc. We are happy to announce that Epicurean will be supplying our peels within the next month or so. The composite is FDA and NSF approved for food contact. Contact time is so short that the material is fine. It has been used for years for both in-home and commercial peels.Gary@EXO/Super Peel

Good question, however I have only purchased the flakes which are just wonderful. I recommend the flakes as they can be crushed in your fingers or added as is for wonderful crunch. Try the flakes as is on a chocolate frosting for wonderful contrast. This is also a wonderful hostess gift to someone who loves to cook. I purchased the bamboo salt cellar too. Enjoy!

the old label for this product listed it as "food grade" but when I received item in mail it had a different label that did NOT mention anything about using it internally, I tried to ask "Now Foods" directly but was put on hold for a very long time. In my opinion I am guessing that the label has been changed to avoid any litigation since any clay product can cause internal problems if not taken with extreme caution.

All I know it is from a vegetable source, but unknown exactly what vegetables they use, but,beans, pumkin seeds and swiss chard, and soybeans high in this mineral. Considering soy is the cheapest, prob using this as main source. Just guessing.

Dear Cat Lady, I wasn't even thinking about the salt content in the Bonito flakes to be honest with you. I give them sparingly in the morning along with some crunchy dental treats. I was told at the pet food store the first time I bought them that it is only dried fish and that was it, Unfortunately since all the packaging is in Chinese who knows, I've learned to use them in sauces, soups and chowders all the time and I don't detect any salt when I'm eating. Hope that helps. Be well... Constance Orcutt

I have not used the tofu maker and doubt that I ever will; however you never know. I may run amuck one of these days. I like to make my own soy milk and it seems that after the soymilk maker was done, I strained out all of the akara, put the soymilk back into the machine and mixed the tofu directly in the maker. I've used the tofu form that came with the soymilk maker and I've used a cute Japanese wooden box--I think that the wood one is the traditional tofu box.

Hello. Mine is all finished. It just said pea protein. But like I mentioned in my earlier post, it has a high sodium level - too high for just pea protein. It tasted good enough, I just feel the salt content is evidence that the ingredient list is incomplete.

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).
