I understand that it's available in tablet form, body spray and as a drink. Whilst it would be nice to not have to take yet another tablet, how do people find the body spray? Anyone experience skin discomfort or, indeed, any reaction?
I seem to remember it being mentioned here that a magnesium drink was available. Is this perhaps an easier way?
Would be most grateful to hear of your experiences. Thanks.
Epsom salts in the bath absorb manesium through your skin, and help with aches and pains too. Pumpkin seeds are a good food source
Thanks but no bath!! Didn't know about pumpkin seeds, most useful.
I found the magnesium spray made my skin feel dry and itchy. I take Lamberts MagAbsorb before bed.
Pellegrino and some other mineral waters contain quite a bit of magnesium but I have no idea if this is in a form which can be absorbed or how much would be necessary - does anyone know how much you need?
Dr Carolyn Dean - ReMAG.
If you google it you can find her website and read about it. Is Ionic Magnesium so goes into the cells not via the gut. Is the only Magnesium I can tolerate. This Dr has written a book called The Magnesium Miracle. She is VERY knowledgeable, has a vast library of wisdom/knowledge and donkeys yrs of experience.

I bought Solgar Magnesium citrate, but it plays havoc with my gut, so have switched to Ancient Minerals Magnesium Oil spray. I don't have any problems using it, but have no idea whether it's doing me any good at all - how do you tell?
Hi Cinnamon_girl
A few wks ago I was wondering the same thing as have previously tried it in tablet form and it didn't agree with me. I decided to make my own magnesium oil using magnesium flakes, water and a spray bottle. I have to say I did initially use it on my arms and hands but found it did make my skin feel dry and I did at first get a tingling/ itchy reaction. You can wash it off after about 20mins which relieves the dryness or moisturise with coconut oil or your preferred moisturiser. The tingling/itchiness eased after a few days plus I think I was using a little bit too much on one area or needed to dilute the solution a bit more more. I have now decided to use on soles of feet as apparently it is absorbed better there as the pores are larger. I just need to remember!

Good luck x
I use magnesium malate. I take 3 x 1000mga day. They are large tablets, is that why you were asking about the liquid?
Hi It is much safer to have food with a high magnesium content, there are a lot, see the WEB.
Best wishes,

I use the list that Shaws linked you to - turns out that I like a lot of magnesium foods. My husband used to swear by the magnesium spray you get from health shops for his aching joints.
Hi, anyone having problems with diarrhoea and stomach cramps? Solgar was fine, but Holland and Barratts is awful on my tum. I'm cutting the tablets in half now.
Floradix does a liquid magnesium supplement which is very palatable, or you can dissolve magnesium salts in water and apply to skin. I never had a reaction to mag oil but I don't like the feel of it on my skin. It's not unlike the feeling of having been in a salty sea - sticky and chalky. I use a mineral deodorant and just pour a little mag oil in with it so I manage to use it every day.
Apparently some people use it on its own as deodorant/antiperspirant but sadly it didn't work on the odour front for me.
I use magnesium citramate capsules made by Thorne (4 = approx 500mg) which I take daily. I am hopeless at swallowing tablets so I try to get everything in capsules which I open and mix into some yoghourt and get it down that way. By the way, I agree with the other person who recommended The Magnesium Miracle - it is definitely worth reading.l
