Not affiliated in anyway, just a happy customer.
I buy quite a few things from iherb.com, their shipping from California to Tasmania is quite swift, and they sell a brand called Now Foods which seem to consistently have what I want at the best price.
Any of the magnesium glycinate, citrate, orotate, here https://www.iherb.com/c/Magnesium https://www.iherb.com/c/Magnesium should be okay. You just want to avoid magnesium oxide, it's poorly absorbed and causes water retention in the guy, possibly leading to loose bowels.
Here in Australia we're lucky to have a few brands that do good magnesium gylcinate / citrate / orotate powders with cofactors - a few B vitamins, but especially B6, folate, B12.
One good way to lose yourself in this is to start with The Nutrient Bible by Henry Osiecki.
- projektir 8y agoMostly I just want what it says on the label to comply with what is in the bottle. So I'm generally not happy with "should be OK", I want "someone tested this and it actually does have this much Magnesium in it specifically".
- TheSpiceIsLife 8y agoYeah, tricky. I think Australia generally has more rigorous regulations / standards. But maybe I'm just deluding myself. Maybe you could import a few pounds of magnesium glycinate and have it tested, I've heard the testing isn't that expensive when you're dealing with multiple thousands of doses of a product.
- ramphastidae 8y agoThere is a website called Labdoor which does exactly this.
- TheSpiceIsLife 8y agoThanks for mentioning this, I hadn't seen it before.
