WHAT IS THE BEST FORM OF MAGNESIUM? IT ALL DEPENDS...
A FEW DEFICIENCY SYMPTOMS
Chronic fatigue, weakness and exhaustionExcessive noise and pain sensitivityHigh blood pressureHeadachesIrritability, nervousness, anxietyDepression and apathyMuscle spasms, tics, cramps, tremors (esp. of hands, feet, or facial muscles)Difficulty with memory and concentrationInsomniaChronic constipationChronic excessive muscle tensionConfusion and disorientationAnorexia (poor appetite)Emotional instability/overreactionAtaxia (an impaired ability to coordinate movement)Irregular or rapid heartbeat
Chelates have less tendency to loosen the stools than other forms.
Magnesium is absorbed after it dissolves, so ability to dissolve is the important factor. Additional activity arises from other complexed molecules -- i.e. chloride, taurate, etc.
