Hi, can someone please explain to me, is magnesium taurate the sane thing as taking magnesium and taurine seperately?

I am not sure how much taurine is included with the magnesium. There is no amount listed for taurine.

If you take the Magnesium Taurate then you mst likely are taking the right proportions . The ne who could best answer that question for you would be your health care practitioner, This person would know your body best

No. Not the same. You can't take magnesium alone. It must be bound to something. My doctor chose this particular form for me because I not only need the magnesium, but I also have trouble sleeping. This form helps with both. See this article about the various forms of magnesium and their differences: http://peoplesrx.com/the-best-kind-of-magnesium-for-you/

maybe. it depends on the magnesium salt you take.there is no such thing as magnesium. it must be bound to a carrier salt so you can absorb it.

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.

No, its not, but I think that this is better. Orotic acid is bound to the Magnesium to enhance absorption, but all the tests done, do not prove this to be true. I hope this helps, if not, go to ConsumerLab.com and read it for yourself.

This is NOT MY PRODUCT -- I do not sell magnesium L threonate, or any other vitamin, mineral or nutritional supplement. If you are going to buy a vitamin product, ASK the company that you purchase it from where it is made.

I have absolutely no laxative effects with the Cardiovascular Research brand of magnesium Taurate. This is also true for a friend of mine. I don't know the reason for this but many others report the same in the various reviews available online.

I think you are confusing 2 different products. Drs. Best Magnesium has magnesium stearate. Dr. Best Brain Magnesium has magnesium l-threanatae, which is the only form of magnesium that passes thru the blood-brain barrier. It is in "l" form which means it has already been methylized, which is a process in the liver that makes many nutritionals bio-available to the cells. Many people, like myself, don't methylize on their own, so unless the supplement is in the "l" form our bodies can't use it. Hope this helps make your decision. Eugenia Fredricksen

Hi Kathryn, I'm no expert. There are many different opinions. My mother-in-law has cancer and I was doing some research and came across this article: http://drsircus.com/medicine/magnesium/magnesium-and-cancer about magnesium. Regards.

According to www.medhelp.com Chelated magnesium is far better absorbed than magnesium oxide but is more expensive. Complementary medicine practitioners rely on chelated magnesium, such as magnesium glycinate, taurate and oratate (magnesium plus amino acids) to treat serious cases of magnesium deficiency. These kind of magnesiums have less laxative effect on the intestines than magnesium citrate, so they are recommended if you tend to have loose stools.

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

What I've learned in life is that when taking supplements you do need more magnesium than calcium, as far as the ratio goes. This "raw one" didn't contain mag., that's why I changed to something else. Hope this helps

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

This product is labeled as 99.9 percent pure magnesium. It is a liquid that is taken sublingually which avoids the stomach upset that can occur with magnesium tablets. In my experience, it is very effective.

magnesium oxide is very poorly absorbed. about 4%. it has a laxative property. it is the cheapest salt.magnesium taurate is much easier to absorbed. it has an affinity for the brain & cardiovascular systems.we have this item ready for prompt shipment.thanks

Per capsule, it's listed on the bottle as "125mg Magnesium (Taurate)." I presume they somehow blended magnesium and taurine together, but they're not line-listed separately, and I don't know if that presumption is correct. Cardiovascular Research LTD is listed as in Concord, CA on the bottle, but there is no phone #.

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.

1. The citrate salt is (supposedly) more bio-available (more easily absorbed and distributed through the body) than other salt forms.2. To the best of my understanding, the active form of Magnesium in the body is the Mg 2+ cation. I cannot see any chemical rationale for injesting Magnesium Oxide as a source of dietary magnesium. I don't know if Magnesium Citrate is the MOST bioavailable, but my chemical intuition tells me that it MUST be better than supplements containing Magnesium Oxide.3. Totes LOLed at the "citrate binds with oxalate" comment: meaningless nonsense. 1.

I threw out the bottle Ruth but there were only 3...5-htp, melatonin, and I think something that started with G...gaba? I apologize for not remembering but I read articles stating the danger of consuming 5-htp so I never used it. Some will disagree with the 5-htp idea but I'd rather be safe than sorry. Good luck. :)

Sorry for delay - I was on motorcycle trip to Ozark Mountains in Arkansas. It says on the bottle:: Sodium Chloride, Calcium Chelate, Magnesium Chelate, Potassium Chelate, Vitamin B6, Manganese Chelate, and L-Tyrosine all held together with Rice Flour. I take one everyday while riding to keep in balance - I can tell when I forget. If weather is really hot and I am drinking lots of water, then I take 2 or 3 every day.
