Anyone know about elemental magnesium? In other words, when you read that we need, say 400 mg a day, of magnesium, how much of that is elemental?

From the website: "A serving of 1/2 teaspoons is equal to about 2130mg. Since the FDA recommends that 400mg of Magnesium be taken per day, and this is made up of 18% elemental Magnesium, this means that a serving 1/2 tsp in size would be equal to about 380mg Magnesium total, which nearly reaches the full goal of 400mg set out by the FDA."

I don't know how much magnesium is contained in each spray. I just apply it after my shower to my arms and legs like lotion.

A paltry 2.5mg per pill. On average I take 5-9 pills a day.I don't see this being sold in higher mg pills. If you find some with this kind of purity, let me know.

Amazon has a bad habit of combining comments and questions for several forms of a product. I found the tablets too large to swallow. I switched to a long tablet of calcium, and magnesium separately. Sundown Naturals 600 mg calcium plus vitamin D (that's 600 mg calcium PER TABLET) and Sundown Naturals Magnesium 250 mg make a good combination for me, and both are available on Amazon. They also make a 500 mg Magnesium which I just ordered; I haven't opened it yet, but it's clear that they are larger than the 250mg, but not too large.

All I know is what it says. It is good for you and magnesium helps a lot of other things function in your body. I use it for vitamin malabsorption and for fibromyalgia symptoms. Why do an online search or ask someone knowledgeable at a vitamin store?

Not sure about mg, but it's 10% of the DV (daily value for a 2000 calories a day diet)...the amount of calcium you get out of your 2000mg per day of you consume this amount of calories.

It doesn't say how much magnesium is contained per spray - it just says on the directions to spray 4-5 sprays daily. I put it mostly around my shoulders/neck. Hope that helps!

I bought the 250 g pack. With this you'll get around 700 servings (350 mg per serving), but if you take only 250 mg a day (a recommended dosage for an adult) you'll of course get 1,000. And save a lot of money by making your own capsules (taken straight, magnesium tastes awful)-

I suggest you check out www.gotmag.com. They are both good; one works for some people and the other works for others. In general I would say that glycinate is better, but that is my body speaking. You might also check out the magnesium advocacy group on face book which often speaks to this question. Keep adding the magnesium; you will feel better for it.

Ben, another great way to get magnesium is through magnesium oil, which you spray on your skin. Most people don't realize that magnesium capsules offer the least amount of absorption. I am debating trying the concentrace because I'm looking into doing reverse osmosis on my tap water, but that's another whole story. I have been using magnesium oil for quite a while and I love it. It has helped with a few of my chronic health issues. It's not really an oil (not greasy, etc), but that's what they call it.

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

I'm not sure what elemental iron is. But here is what the label reads: Gentle Iron(Iron Bisglycinate) 25 MG, which equates to 139% DV (Daily Value)I tried this because it is supposed to be non-constipating, it is working very well in that regard, although I find there is a little flatulance which I attribute to this, since I have never had that particular problem before. As to how well it works, I will know after I have some blood tests next week, whether my iron level has increased. I do feel more energetic, but that may be in my mind, because I expected it.

I suspect that the question is intended to be "how much elemental MAGNESIUM is in each capsule?" The answer is: Each capsule has 120mg of ELEMENTAL MAGNESIUM, assuming that the label has not misstated anything. (Thus the actual total weight of Mg glycerinate in each capsule is higher, since the glycinate (carbon, oxygen, hydrogen & nitrogen) part of the compound also has its own significant contribution.)

I'll just add that due to the much higher absorption rate this is much less likely to cause... ummm... loose bowels. I still got some of that undesirable effect from this too. I've also use MagMind and that too is a different type of magnesium but didn't get much from it.This is a good one to try out especially if you suffer from undesirable effects from the cheap magnesium

Constant? That's probably the Magnesium SRT. It takes the body a while to get use to. Their SRT formula tries to counter that. Actually it seems that's what the brand is most known for. I had 2 (sometimes 3) a day compared to the normal 1 (sometimes 2) movements each day. My body regulated back out. I'd be little worried if there was too much of a spike. Magnesium is pretty beneficial & most people are significantly deficient compared to the recommended daily amount.
