Hi There, Before you get too upset, just want ya to know that I CAN notice a significant effect from magnesium oxide..and so can many many others I have spoken too...it works. It may or may not be as effective as magnesium with various anions ..but it does have an effect, so its not as bad as its made out maybe.
I've been wondering myself why it has such an effect seeing as it's not supposed to have in theory for a few years..
its only insoluble in water, our stomachs are acidic..so partly soluble there..and maybe with other foods etc, it may be even more soluble (or less).
Wish I understood it all better than I do, but I know MgO does work, at least to some extent , and depending on the cost you may even get more magnesium for buck in that form.
If I understood it all maybe even enzymes etc work on it..I sure don't know it all. I'd would be VERY interested in actual amount used figures(as in input-output)..not just amount in urine.My personal preference may be magnesium taurinate..but I have to buy that from the US.
NA in Oz, mostly MgO although citrate forms are coming in lately..usully mixed with MgO though..and Magnesium aspartate also.(not sure of that one but my Dad is taking it as the physio told my Mum to buy it..it was wrong for her though).
