I have a friend who is a diabetic. She goes to the doctor quite often who says that she is mag. deficient. She had her taking mag by mouth but the story was always the same..deficient. I had started using Mag oil back in the winter due to a very painful hip. My friend started using it and the doc asked if she was still taking it that her levels were now normal. When she told her she was using the mag oil, she told my friend to keep it up. What a great product!! Edith In a message dated 6/12/2010 8:51:10 A.M.

Hi, I recommend Mag-Tabs SR which uses magnesium lactate in a sustained release tablet. Part of the problem with magnesium supplements is that they are hydrophilic to the intestines which can easily cause purging (hence the use for constipation). From what I have read a problem arises because to be properly absorbed magnesium must spend a certain period of time in the intestines and the purging cuts this short. Hence most magnesium supplements cause further magnesium deficiency rather than helping to correct the problem. Before starting with a magnesium supplement it would be a good idea to do some research. PT
