I keep coming across articles that say that we only absorb a small fraction of the supplements we take.
Liposomal Vit C seems to be the latest one which claims about 85% absorption compared to less than 25% of
regular Vit C.

Not sure about all this myself.

Hi Rochelle,

I have switched to using and suggesting Magnesium oil, and have found:
Improved flexibility, and less severe pain and cramping for pain sufferers and athletes
Improved sense of well being for those with bouts of sadness and depression

Best,
Lynn

I'm not actually taking Magnesium for anything in particular - only
because I believe it is something that I should take being the age I am
and controlling my Type 2 inherited diabetes with a low Carb low GI
diet and exercise and my HBP with Ayurvedic Ivy's Mukta Vati. No
homeopath has managed to find a constitutional remedy that has had any
effect on either of these!!

is there a particular brand that you find better than others? or worse than others?
I don’t think I get enough Mag in me, especially when going thru SAD and eating not as well.

Magnesium oil is Magnesium Chloride
I have not suggested a particular brand to anyone.
All followup reports have been positive

one other thing
one person was reporting increasing unbearable pain which ceased to be a problem once they decided to discontinue taking Statins

For what its worth, I always share this little story. Years ago I developed burning sharp pain in my shoulder. It was excruciating.
Stopped at my local HFS which really was back then and spoke to the owner. He recommended Mag for me.
When I said I take a Calc-mag supplement, he said it was the wrong proportion. I should be taking 2:1 Mag/Calc
and not the reverse which is what the current wisdom was. Bought a mag product and took a healthy dose.
80% improvement within hours. A second dose cured the condition and it has not been a problem since then.

....... which makes me ask how much of the magnesium oil should I take
as I have ordered it now. 10 sprays = 180mg absorbable elemental
magnesium and the suggested dose is 1-3 sprays at a time.

Thanks for that. It gives me a clue where to begin. If that is a day that bottle I have ordered with 800 sprays in it could be quite cost effective!! How would I know if I have had too much?!!!

I find one or two sprays does the trick.
Start with one and work your way up as needed.

Dear Rochelle,

I am speaking from my own experience, and not by what someone else has said. I got a lot of pain relief out of magnesium oil. It was a real eye opener, especially with regard to transdermal absorption. But I decided that I might be covering up other causes of inflammation, so I spread out to MSM, turmeric, vitamin C, etc. I found that I could live without painting or spraying myself with magnesium oil, although I am happy with doing it every now and then. I take about 1600 mgs. of magnesium chelate every day via pill form, spread out over the day. But I prefer "attacking" my pain and inflammation using more than one "weapon".

I am going to paint myself with magnesium oil again right now, just to see what happens. I will let you know what happens. This will be the first time in months.

I generally try things that other people say are working for them, but I depend upon my on experience and thought to decide whether I keep doing them.

You can order magnesium chloride crystals and make your own magnesium "oil" at home. It is far cheaper than a store brand spray. And it is far easier than making scrambled eggs.

I doubt if I answered your question, but I hope that it helps anyway.

Subject: [Minutus] Magnesium tablets versus magnesium oil [1 Attachment]

[Attachment(s) from Rochelle included below] I am about to reorder Magnesium which I take daily and I came across
magnesium oil. I seem to remember it being mentioned here.
Question – am I best to continue my 1 x 500gm Magnesium tablet a day
or massage 3 sprays of magnesium oil into my skin when 10 sprays gives
180mg of absorbable elemental magnesium as this appears to be the dose
although it does say use often!!

I have just found an interesting pdf which I am attaching in which it
seems to say that only 10% of the tablets are absorbed intimating that
I would be better off with the oil!!
Thanks

*Maybe* that is true of the oil -- I don't know anything about it -- but it's certainly not true with tablets. But with tablets, the effects of overdose are prompt, mild, and short-lived -- you could get an excessive "loosening of the bowels."

(I also used to find that if I took too high a proportion of magnesium compared with my calcium supplement, I would feel *more* restless and antsy, until I took a little more calcium to bring it back into balance. That still seems weird to me, and I'm guessing it's not a common problem, but I don't know.)

The usual dosages for magnesium are anywhere from 400 mg to 1,000 mg per day, depending in part on how depleted the person's adrenals are (the adrenals are responsible for recycling magnesium, as well as sodium, and I suppose other minerals as well). Adrenal stress leads to a higher need for magnesium (and sodium, and other things as well).
