Magnesium

This graphic looks very useful.

Does anyone know which one of these corresponds to "chelated" magnesium?

My jar of chelated magnesium says "Magnesium Citrate" as the primary ingredient in the ingredient list.

 

Is it safe to take magnesium with turmeric and a general A-Z vitamin and mineral supplement?

 

I don't see why not.

 

Off topic, but could you point me to one that is highly absorbable and not just a laxative? I just started taking magnesium and this stuff was pretty damn expensive and had good reviews so I'm hoping it's just not a laxative

 

I used to give myself intramuscular magnesium injections and I also did liquid Magnesium Chloride orally (tastes atrocious). There are a lot of options but Magnesium Oxide is pretty much useless.

I found this, which may be helpful:

I am taking this, because I read somewhere it has good absorption and the ingredients should be safe (no old tires mixed in). I would be gladly pointed to some better alternative if such exists however.

 

Magnesium on an empty stomach reliably relaxes me and makes my tinnitus less intrusive. It's the one supplement that I can say for sure has a positive impact on tinnitus perception based on several pre-post observations.

 

Figured I should drop by and post a tentative endorsement of Magnesium.

I've been trying for the last two weeks 400 mg daily of Magnesium Glycinate to what I consider good success. I've been taking it in the evening, separate from my other supplements, generally on an empty or light stomach, and close to bed. In general, I would say I am a lot less tense, and getting to sleep has been made easier.

I cannot say for sure to what extent if any it has contributed to my evenings being nicer, as I also typically drink herbal tea, take Melatonin, and chill out around this time. My circadian rhythm is also a lot more used to this pattern, so this could be a factor as well.

With regards to my symptoms, I can't really say if it's had any effect, positive or negative, in that regard. My left ear did start to act up a couple days later and has since been problematic, but that could have been a variety of things: the single Amitriptyline I took the night before, some loud noise I had been around, or just a change it decided to make. If anyone has any further conclusive stories about Magnesium affecting the sound, I'd love to hear it.

Also, if there are any former users of Magnesium Glycinate who have since moved on to a form they think is better, please let me know.

 

I read that Magnesium Aspartate is best for tinnitus.

Has anyone tried that?
