I've been told that I probably have Fibromyalgia. I want to try to see if a Magnesium Malate might help the symptoms, but I'm having trouble finding the best brand and dosage. The research I've done tells me that an adult woman should have only between 280mg-320mg of magnesium Malate a day. Am I wrong about this? I just don't want a toxic amount in my body. Also, I've read that the most effective form of magnesium malate is chelated (for better absorption). I haven't been able to find one that is chelated.

My first question is what dosage of magnesium malate is best for a 30-40 year old woman for fibromyalgia and magnesium deficiency.

Second question is, what brand of magnesium malate is the Best(Natures Made, Doctors Best, Nature's Bounty, etc.) I'll have to order this online and don't want to have to throw the stuff away if it's no good.

Third, is Magnesium malate what I need to be concentrating on? Would I be better off getting a separate bottle of chelated magnesium and another bottle of malic acid?

Thanks for the help

Hi, Amber, and welcome! I get my magnesium malate on line at Puritan.com. They have an excellent price on this, also. It's made by Source Naturals and it's a capsule with powder in it. This works well for me because I have absorption problems. I take three in the morning and three in the evening.

Chelated means that the minerals are bound to something so the magnesium is bound to malic acid. Malic acid is found in apples so our bodies digest this easier because it thinks it is food. This is how it was explained to me. I'm 67 by the way and have been taking this for quite a few years. I take more than what you read. My doctor said it was fine. Read about it in the link I posted in Fibro 101.

Speaking of Fibro 101, please read this thread. It's the first thread on the forum. There are links to good info about fibro and you will learn a lot there.

I'm looking forward to getting to know you better. Don't hesitate to ask questions because we are here to help you. Hope to hear more from you soon.

I get my magnesium and malic acid in a product called corvalen m..which also has ribose..which gives our cells more energy...this product did pretty good at keeping my energy up until my vit d went too low...that was a crash..but i am working on it.
