  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!!

    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.
