I've read that some Magnesium products use Magnezium Oxide as a filler to make the pills smaller. Does this brand do that?

I don't know but they are not what I would consider a small pill. They are capsules.
1389788
They contain only magnesium glycinate (120 mg) & ascorbyl palmitate {fat soluble vitamin C} (10 mg)

No. The brand is aptly named. My Doctor recommended them for that reason. She said Magnesium glycinate or citrate were the most absorbable. I was pleased to be able to find them on Amazon for a more reasonable price. I can tell the difference when I skip taking them for a few days.

No. The entire reason I purchased a Magnesium Glycinate preparation in capsules rather than a Magnesium Oxide preparation (like MagOx tablets) is that it is felt to be far more absorbable and therefore more bioavailable in the glycinate form. There is a book called "Beat Your A-Fib" by Steven Ryan, Phd that explains the benefits of magnesium glycinate over magnesium oxide. Best wishes,

We have conducted further research into this matter and have spoken further with our supplier and Albion. It appears that our supplier failed to list the following other ingredients in the supplement facts provided for our label: magnesium oxide, citric acid, maltodextrin, silica. These ingredients are part of the formula manufactured by Albion. They are not added in afterwards by our supplier. Nevertheless, it is required that they appear in the ingredients. We are very disappointed to learn that our labeling is incorrect. We will be closing our Amazon listing this week in order to have our product relabeled and the ingredients listed properly.

Go to the product and enlarge the pic of bottle. I've switched to magnesium theonate, 500mg in one cap.

No. Not the same. You can't take magnesium alone. It must be bound to something. My doctor chose this particular form for me because I not only need the magnesium, but I also have trouble sleeping. This form helps with both. See this article about the various forms of magnesium and their differences: http://peoplesrx.com/the-best-kind-of-magnesium-for-you/

I can only say that it is pretty disappointing to secretly shrink the size and with a lesser formula. There are some other great vitamin powders out there with these ingredients. I personally like alot of Mercola products. They are well researched and mostly organic.

I'm not a doctor and I did not conduct the studies but all of the studies say to take the supplement 30 minutes before a meal with a glass of water. There was a big German study done and in that the participants took 800mg each time. I've been looking for a company that sells 800 mg without fillers but I can't find one. I thought that this company produced one based on their product description but I discovered that was not the case when I got the $30 bottle.

By reading the label, it says each capsule has 200 mg magnesium. Otherwise I would contact the company for an in depth analysis. They're the ones who manufacture it!

I work for the manufacture of Mag 07 and I have the same problem with the capsules! We have a powder that you mix with water and drink or if you already purchased the capsules you can break them open into a glass of water and take it that way.

no, it is magnesium glycinate. My doctor recommends only magnesium ------ate. (citrate is also o.k.) She said magnesium oxide is not absorbed readily. This brand is expensive but extremely pure, i.e. has no other ingredients in it.

They are definitely what I would call a "larger" pill...but they are slightly coated, so I don't have any trouble swallowing them. I highly recommend this brand (Carlson) because they don't put a bunch of junk/fillers in their vitamins. And this chelated magnesium is great stuff. Because it's "chelated" your body will actually absorb/utilize it.

i did alot of investigation prior to purchasing this magnesium. I can't remember the details of my investigation but must say they work!! I take 3 per day and my son takes 3 per day and my daughter takes 2 per day. great pills

I disagree that it's a large capsule and I have a lot of trouble swallowing. However, any powdered magnesium in a capsule can be sprinkled on applesauce or mixed into yogurt, etc. I often choke on capsules and twist them open. The capsule is just a transporter. You can use magnesium in many forms and I've even soaked my feet in it (in a cheaper form)

This is the only brand of magnesium that is absorbed differently by the body........other Magnesium causes loose bowels, the runs, stomach upsets etc.

Amazon has a bad habit of combining comments and questions for several forms of a product.I found the tablets too large to swallow. I switched to a long tablet of calcium, and magnesium separately. Sundown Naturals 600 mg calcium plus vitamin D (that's 600 mg calcium PER TABLET) and Sundown Naturals Magnesium 250 mg make a good combination for me, and both are available on Amazon. They also make a 500 mg Magnesium which I just ordered; I haven't opened it yet, but it's clear that they are larger than the 250mg, but not too large.

This 8 oz. liquid form does not identify what form of magnesium is present here. The product label only identifies the product as;"magnesium". I presume the answer to the question can only be obtain by telephoning the company, "Mother Earth Minerals" in Ogden, UT.1-866-989-9876

Ancient Minerals is 100% pure magnesium. You can buy it in various forms: oil (which is not oil at all, not oily. It is so pure and gentle, you can not only massage your muscles with it, but you can use it as eye drops or a mouthwash); flakes, good to put into warm bath water to take a long soak; or a gel rub with the magnesium in a tube that you can carry with you. I bought all 3 forms. I have had a serious back injury for 14 years and live in pain because I don't want the surgery that will correct the pinched nerves, etc. So, when I can't bear the pain, I run my tub about 1/2 full of warm water and put 1/2 bag of flakes in it to dissolve, then soak for 20-30 minutes. When I get out, I absolutely have NO pain. (I just wish I had the money to be able to buy enough of it to do a couple of times every week, so I limit myself to using it unless I'm in unbearable pain). I just can't say enough good about this product. I learned about it by reading hundreds of hours of research on line provided by a doctor in Brazil named Dr. Sircus. The detailed information he provides is priceless, and he shares all the products he uses, their benefits, prices, and where you can buy them. Through him, I found out that magnesium is only 100% absorbable through the skin, not orally. I don't think many people know that, so they buy magnesium pills, which don't even do any good. Well, I hope I have helped you some. There is a lot to learn. All the best. Barbara Fisher

I sometimes break these big ones in half and have been known to grind them down.You can get mag/calcium in liquid if this doesn't work
