First of all Larry, thank you so much for what you bring to this board as far as information.
I had been taking Magnesium Oxide, but stopped because of you mentioning it to not be able to be processed as easily.
I bought another Magnesium supplement today called Solaray Magnesium Asporotate (each pill containing 400 mgs of Mag Asperate, Mag Citrate and Mag Orotate)
I took two this afternoon (800 mgs) had some pretty severe diarehha. I just read your post and you mentioned that if this happens, to back down on the Mag because it could cause more of a Magnesium defiency.
My question is this: Should I be taking a Magnesium supplement that contains all 3 of the different types of Magnesium (Aspartate, Citrate and Orotate)?
Or should I look for a Magnesium supplement that just contains one of these types of Magnesium to build up my Magnesium levels without being counterproductive because of the diarehha problem?
Or should I just stick with this product at a lower dose until I can tolerate it without having diarehha?
Would cutting down to only 200 mgs tomorrow of this product sound like a good idea or should I switch to something else?
You advise is extremely appreciated. Thanks
