There is no such thing as “plain”. You can’t eat pure magnesium. mg oxide is cheap, but apparently mostly laxative. Mg citrate is part laxative but also absorbed. Mg glycinate is more expensive but avoids the laxative effect.
For the muscle relaxant effect (other than perhaps bowel muscles), mg oxide is hardly useful.
- dr_dshiv 2y ago> For the muscle relaxant effect (other than perhaps bowel muscles), mg oxide is hardly useful. This is what I’m questioning. Most of these variants are claiming subtler psychological effects — when the basic stuff has a very direct effect that I think is positive. I always just buy the magnesium pills that just say “magnesium.”
- mint2 2y agoWell please read things more carefully in the future. No one sells pills of pure magnesium - that would be eating metal shavings or metal beads. It is ALWAYS a magnesium ion paired with an anion of some sort. Is that what you mean? Ones with only magnesium salt or oxide - I.e citrate, carbonate etc
- sidewndr46 2y agoAs others have illustrated no one sells "magnesium" pills. It is a pill of magnesium reacted with something else. The source of this varies as to whether or not the product wants to be considered as vegetarian, kosher, or otherwise.
