Larry

Thankyou for your response to my last questions

Could I trouble you with a couple more questions.

1) When you answered that the magnesium amino acid chelate in the product I take is probably glycine does this mean that it's actually magnesium glycinate and therefore a beneficial form of magnesium?

2) Regarding your advice to top up my magnesium with another form, I can actually get the following tablets very cheaply at my local health food store http://www.optimumhealth.com.au/productpages/product8505.html
I'm just wondering if you took out your calculator whether you would consider this product to be a safe or beneficial form of magnesium?

2) I forgot to ask you in my original questions what magnesium orotate is and whether this is also a beneficial or safe form (ie non toxic) form of magnesium?

3) I read somewhere that magnesium orotate is actually the best absorbed form of magnesium. Is this true?

Thanks for your patience once again Larry

regards
