In reply to most absorbable oral Mg, counter diarrhea, posted by iforgotmypassword on April 8, 2008, at 16:37:42
Magnesium glycinate I believe is the most absorbable, with citrate being next best. Though not as common, I have heard great things about magnesium malate. Diarrhea from these is a sign of one of two things: 1)Dose was ramped up too fast, 2)You have reached your body's level of need for magnesium and any excess is going to be flushed.
Another way to get magnesium in is to take Epsom salt baths. One to two cups in a hot bath for 10 to 20 minutes. Start with low amounts and shorter times and work up. The magnesium is readily absorbed through the skin. Transdermal magnesium supplementation. No diarrhea that way.
