Magnesium stearate?

After some conversations on here yesterday , the need for Magnesium came up. Thank you greygoose !

I began thinking that is in my Solgar B complex.

Of .course when I looked it is stearate which is a filler I believe .

I had a look at a Chris Kresser site and an argument back and forth which left me puzzled as to wether it is bad for us or not .

When I looked at my medication Levo Etc , and also vitamins , almost everything has it in.

If a little bit doesn't hurt , what about someone who takes a variety of things?

I also realised that the b12 in Solgar is cyancobalamin , so a change of supplements is in order.

Anyone have problems with this filler?

You could try the Magnesium Oil by Better You - if it stings on the skin then you know you are deficient apparently. Mine has stopped stinging now :-)

Thanks Marz

Would that be from a well known site?

PP, mag stearate is a filler in most tablets. It's not the same as magnesium supplements. Cyanocobalamin is popular in the USA. Why not finish it and replace with methylcobalamin when you reorder.

Not what you're looking for?
