I buy this product to drink for a detox diet. Can I drink this type of magnesium??

I wouldn't. You really don't know the dose to take. If you take too much you can dehydrate yourself by being in the bathroom all day with cramping to boot. I would check out a health food store. They can either recommend a dose or another product that will do what you are seeking.

The magnesium l-threonate is great for brain health; however if you're deficient in magnesium (which about half of America is), the other form is what will increase magnesium levels in your body. I take both for that reason. Great products.

I am an environmental specialist and I have been taking this product for about 1 year now. I get what you are saying about the metals. The only advice I can offer is to follow the directions and not drink it undiluted. The levels are safe when consuming a healthy diet that will help to expel any harmful toxins. I also take chlorella and bentonite clay which greatly helps to remove toxins and metals from the body. I hope very much this helps a little. If you still have questions ask your doctor. They might be able to answer more thoroughly. Also, I put this in my diy toothpaste and it has helped to remineralize my teeth.

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?

I might add, the Natural Calm magnesium supplement, although flavored,is a good thing but does not taste that good to me, so I take the delicious Vitafusion afterwards, kind of like a reward!

No. The brand is aptly named. My Doctor recommended them for that reason. She said Magnesium glycinate or citrate were the most absorbable. I was pleased to be able to find them on Amazon for a more reasonable price. I can tell the difference when I skip taking them for a few days.

Silica has amazing benefits and actually strips the body of heavy metals. I've heard that you have to restore the body of its natural levels after doing a DE cleanse...but everything we touch and eat is prevalent with hard metals that I don't think it's necessary. I'm not an expert but I'm sure you'll be fine... Take it like twice a week maybe :)

Sucralose... and I wouldn't buy it again. We didn't like the slight aftertaste of this product. However, if you are used to drinking diet products it may be ok for you. I prefer the regular.

Magnesium loosens your bowels if you take more than is right for you. It doesn't have anything to do with deficiency. Take less. It is recommended on the bottle to start with a small amount to see what works best for you.

I don't remember what they are because I got it, opened it, my two boys and I each took a whiff, and they refused to try it. I tried it once to see how bad it was - it would have to give eternal life before I would drink it regularly. Awful. Let's face it: it doesn't matter how healthy it is, if you can't or don't get it in, you don't get anything from it. I've used Synaptol with success - mix the serving size in a mall amount of water (so that it doesn't coat the glass and short change me on the dosages).

I have bad reflux and heartburn. I need to take magnesium to counter act the depletion of it from all of the antacids. However I'm nervous because citric acid makes it worse usually. Has anyone with these issues had any problems with this product?

Definitely. This stuff works amazingly well too. Learned the hard way not to drink a single thing while detoxing.

That drinking distilled water someone causes mineral deficiencies is an unfortunate bit of misinformation, probably from that crappy Mercola site. Considering that FAR more of your minerals come from the food you eat than the water you drink, you'll be fine. Supplement if you want; not necessary.

I would go to their website and ask. I have only used my Zen Detox one time. I find it very hard to regulate the salt you put in the water to actually get it to keep working during the detox.

Most likely, but the end result is what I'm after.....clean water that I add trace mineral drops to. There's no sense at all in drinking anything else.

Hello. I've just started using this and only drink it at breakfast. I've lost 15 lbs on my weight loss journey so far but one pound since I started taking this product. I'm not necessarily taking it for it to hep me lose weight. I just wanted a GOOD tasting protein/vitamin shake mix to drink in the morning to go along with my low calorie diet. It's truly yummy!

Carl, it's a medium size soft gelatin capsule. Not a pill. So if you cannot swallow it you could open it. It's a white powder and you could just open it and tap it into your mouth -and then just drink -- or tap it into apple sauce or whatever. I think it's the best magnesium for heart brain etc.
