I take Mag citrate but accidentally purchased the chelated ones and wonder if they would work better or worse- thanks in advance

CIG - i found a great combo for myself, which has kicked in again after a few difficult weeks and a colonoscopy cleanout: KAL Brand Mag Supps: one with my first meal and then one TwinLab Mag Supp that's just oxide, with dinner (plus a flax or fish oil pill, too.)

I take Paragon chelated mag citrate. Works fine for me but alot of people take the oxide.

The thing with chelating is that it increases the absorbancy enormously. (I know with D and calcium, you want it non-chelated so that it will pass through your intestines and absorb the bile.) If the mag works in the body, rather than in the intestines, chelated should be best. If not, I would assume non-chelated would be best.

Ghitta: glad to hear you are back in business so to speak; i guess sometimes we have to readjust what we are taking and good things will happen. Take care : cig
