If you take a magnesium supplement, which product do you use?

[Lottapianos]

Posting for traffic. I take 200mg magnesium citrate but the pills from Holland and Barrett are ridiculously huge and hard to swallow. Any other recommendations? Thanks

I take Boots own brand magnesium and calcium capsules. They're 2 a day so not enormous.

Viridian they are 300 mg capsules, no problem to swallow.

Floradix magnesium liquid, it's £6.99 off amazon.

They are also free from just about everything nothing artificial non animal tested and a donation from each bottle is made to charidee.

I heard that it is hard to absorb magnesium so I use the spray from H&B

I buy mine from Morrison's, their own brand tablets 375mg, £3.75 for 45 tablets.

Biocare

Easier to get a spray/gel as it's easier to absorb that way as PP said. I have the gel from h&b, if you're deficient, it itches!

Magnesium Citrizorb by Nutrigold - normal size gel caps

I used to get Floradix magnesium but it is expensive. I couldn't take the big horse pills most shops seem to sell. and I suffered gut issues with the magnesium as I need to take a highish dose. I've just started using Better You Magnesium gel , a lot easier and it bypasses the stomach..

Magnesium is best absorbed through the skin so a bath in Epsom salts is really cheap and effective.

Cytoplan

What would you take magnesium for? I've seen people posting online but wasn't sure what benefits it's brings

I use spray

The compound matters, so the citrate & bis-glycinate are absorbed better than the oxide.

Biocare magnesium malate which was recommended by my nutritionist as easy to absorb.

I take it to relieve endometriosis symptoms and it helps with relaxation/sleep when taken in the evening.

It helps you absorb and utilise calcium too

Boots here too. They're small, easy to swallow and cheap.

Uses: Migraine, restless legs, muscle cramping, sleep, muscle function, stress (helps you to relax), menstruation symptoms etc

Innopure but they are massive so avoid if you have trouble swallowing horse pills

Concentrace liquid. It’s got all the trace minerals from the salt lake in Utah
It’s made a big difference to me since October when I started it.
I probably could do with a bit more magnesium to be honest but as it can act like a laxative it’s all about getting the balance right
I have Epsom salt baths and as you can make the oil from Epsom salts I won’t be paying for £12 oil in future.
