magnesium
Hi,
I know that magnesium is important to supplement when using HRT. However, there are so many different varieties of magnesium, that I am not sure which is the best to take. Oxide, malate,citrate, etc?
When I don't take magnesium, I get terrible leg cramps.
Ideas?? Thanks.

Re: magnesium
Good Morning Anne,
I take a chelated form of magnesium.
From what I read this is suppose to have the best absorbtion rate.
I buy mine from the Viatmin Shoppe.
It's called Doctors Best, 100% absorbtion, Chelated magnesium.
Hope this helps.

Re: magnesium
I have been using a store brand of magnesium for many years now. I haven't had any problems with it, seems to work for me. You could try some different brands and see what works best for you.

Re: magnesium
I agree with (((Kim))) ... I have used many different brands of magnesium over the years and have never noticed any one of them being any better or worse than any other brand. So, now I just buy whatever is on sale in the dosage I'm looking for.

Re: magnesium
Anne,
The chelated forms are usually better absorbed. Cheaper is not always better, especially if absorption is a problem.
Magnesium oxide can act as a stool softener, so watch out for that one.
There is also a topical magnesium spray. I get it from Amazon and use in addition to my magnesium pills.
