Magnesium Amino Acid Chelate

A mineral chelate form of magnesium containing an ion of magnesium oxide connected to a mixture of some other form of amino acid. This could be a lactate, a glycine, aspartate or arginate, etc. The best chelated amino acid form of magnesium is aspartate or arginate.

Magnesium Oxide

Also referred to as "Magnesia", magnesium oxide is commonly used therapeutically as a laxative and relief for acid reflux. This type of magnesium shows high levels of concentration, but poor levels of bioavailability (only 4%).

Magnesium Citrate

Derived from the magnesium salt of citric acid, this form of magnesium has lower concentration, but a high level of bioavalibity (90%). Magnesium citrate is commonly used as to induce a bowel movement, but has also been studied for kidney stone prevention.

Magnesium Orotate

The most effective form of magnesium supplement, created through the use of the mineral salts of orotic acid. Both plants and animals use orotates to create DNA and RNA. Extensive scientific research by Dr. Hans A. Nieper, M.D. shows orotates can penetrate cell membranes, enabling the effective delivery of the magnesium ion to the innermost layers of the cellular mitochondria and nucleus. Magnesium orotate contains many properties that can help protect you and your health, while offering your cells the most readily absorbable form of magnesium on the market today.

Magnesium Chloride

A form of magnesium showing moderate concentrations, but higher levels of bioavalibity when compared to magnesium oxide. Magnesium chloride has many uses, most commonly to help manufacture paper, some types of cements and fireproofing agents.

Magnesium Lactate

This type of magnesium shows moderate concentrations, but higher levels of bioavalibity as compared to magnesium oxide. Magnesium lactate is a mineral supplement that is most commonly used for treating digestive issues. Magnesium lactate should be avoided by those with kidney disease or kidney-related problems.

Magnesium Sulfate

An inorganic form of magnesium with an elemental concentration of 10% and lower levels of bioavailability. Magnesium sulfate contains magnesium and sulfer and oxygen; it's commonly referred to as Epsom Salt.

Magnesium Carbonate

This form of magnesium has moderate levels of elemental concentration and 30% bioavalibity rates. Magnesium carbonate has a strong laxative-effect when taken in high amounts. It is also commonly known as chalk, and is used as a drying agent by pitchers, gymnasts, rock climbers and weight lifters.

Magnesium Glycinate, Malate & Taurates

Chelated forms of magnesium holding moderate to low concentrations and higher levels of bioavailability. All three types of magnesium have a variety of uses, but none are as beneficial as the previous magnesium supplements listed above.

Why are they able to market these as 500mg magnesium tablets when there's only 150mg of actual magnesium in them?
This dude is selling a magnesium supplement. Better to get your info from an unbiased source. Examine.com is pretty good.

I've used this exact magnesium before. Yes, tablets are harder to swallow than capsules, but these are not very huge like for example "Vitamin C 1000mg" tablets can be. It works for me and the price is decent for half year supply (300mg dosage per day).

If you take calcium, your magnesium intake should be half of your calcium dose, in a 2:1 ratio.

Get used to it, as it looks like all supplements sellers go this way. Likely they provide decent product description, so it's clear that it's 150mg magnesium. Also, I've never seen 500mg of magnesium from magnesium glycinate in a single standard sized pill/capsule, so the conclusion is that this is not possible.

The actual recommendation is for calcium not to exceed a 2:1 ratio. That is, no more calcium than 2x magnesium. Less calcium is fine.

Put another way, your magnesium consumption should be no less than half the calcium supplement+natural sources of calcium.

Is it for glycinate? I haven't seen anything on the website, but we're trying to find time for a trip.

There is a "shortage" of Chinese magnesium because processing dolomite is energy (CO2) intensive, resulting in more fishiness in supplement advertising.

Thats the elemental magnesium dosage, which is what you want. I take 5g of magnesium citrate daily, which is around 500mg of elemental magnesium. It varies based on the type of magnesium.

Looks like a good deal.
Last time I got this [amazon.com]which was the cheapest at the time - 33.6g actual magnesium for $10.40 after tax.
This deal is 54g for $13.83 after tax, which comes out about 20% cheaper if you do the math.
