airbucket Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 regarding magnesium, i have been reading some pretty in depth stuff about how careful you need to be when selecting mag supplement. I have been giving my son 250mg of "chelated calcium magnesium" caps for a few months now. Now i read that powdered magnesium is the most absorbable. Also, i read the citrate is best? I want to find a mag supplement that is stricltly magnesium so i dont have to wonder if mag taureate may be affecting him because of the taurine....However i am also told you cannot give mag without calcium, and then i read that when using mag as a tic reducer, you want to make sure you eliminate all anti magnesium vitamins, the ones that work counter to magnesium, calcium bieng one of them! Can anyone add their 2 cents on finding the most absorbable pure form of magnesium with no added ingredients? Should i just buy mag citrate or lactate and get a calcium supplement? do i need to give calcium? thank you!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michele Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 I've given Andrew the Magnesium Citrate liquid that they sell at the drug store in the lime flavor. It is cheap and he really likes it. It is like a seltzer water. I never gave him any additional calcium with it. Do you think the taurine was affecting him in a bad way? I think it is used to calm down the rowdy guys (too many endorphins) . I give it daily as a supplement in pill form.
