This link is good about explaining the different types of magnesium. You will see why I suggest the magnesiium malate. The malic acid in it also makes it easier to absorb since the body recognizes it as food. (Malic acid is found in apples). Some of the types are difficult to absorb and I did read that you only absorb about 20% of magnesium oxide. It's inexpensive but it doesn't help a lot. Hope this helps some. Plus there is a link in Fibro 101 about magnesium malate and also vitamin D3 and how these work in the body.

Interesting! I had no idea there were so many kinds.

Glad, too, to learn that magnesium glycinate is easy on the stomach, though I haven't had any issues with the magnesium malate. A good back-up plan, though!

Thanks for the info!

I've been taking it for a week to see if it would help my horrible pain on spine and ribs. So far the pain is easing more each day.

This is terrific news, Joy! yeah Yes, it slowly worked into my system and I did get quite a lot of relief. Go slowly with it and build up the dose because you do t want diarrhea. But once your body is accustomed to it you shouldn't have any problems. I don't and I have Crohn's disease.

You made my Friday night with this news!

thanks sherrine, i was recently researching fatigue and said to take magnesium and vitamin d
didn't say what type though, apparently i took the wrong type, made me very sick, checked drug interactions checker for bit d3-(all i could find at walgreens) and magnesium and said do NOT take together, dangerous and can be fatal. i literally thought i was dying for 3 days

I take both magnesium malate and vitamin D3 together twice a day and have never had a problem. Perhaps it was interacting with your other medications. I'm glad you are doing better now.

yes, i think i was taking the wrong form of magnesium, i see everywhere, take magnesium for this or this and that, but none stating specifically what type!
