Magnesium oxide isn't as useful to supplement as glycinate or citrate.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank e36andy

Responding to the claims like I did the last time we had an oxide deal... my wife's a medical doctor for the record but oxide is still widely used in medicine and is the #1 prescribed formulation by neurologists for migraine prevention. It's also a mild acid buffer if you have some reflux here and there (although there are better options). I wouldn't automatically push it aside for another formulation... it just depends what your goals are with taking magnesium. It's a good cheap supplement.

I use the oxide version for poop purposes due to the low absorption, and it works amazingly

Then your wife needs to actually crack open pubmed once in a while:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7815675/

​"Results: For the patient group as a whole, 26Mg absorption was low but was not different for the two supplements (23.5% vs 22.8% for magnesium chelate and MgO, respectively). However, 26Mg absorption was substantially greater from the chelate (23.5% vs 11.8%; p < .05) in the four patients who showed the greatest impairment of magnesium absorption with MgO and was better tolerated by all patients."

Don't get me wrong, it's not useless. But your money is better spent on the glycinate.

That said, NatureMade is a reputable company and they make/sell the glycinate. See here: https://www.amazon.com/Nature-Mad...B0D9MV3YJQ

Interesting conversation. My Doc has me on oxide 400Mg 2 ea per day. One of my adult kids was just subscribed by her Doc to get the glycinate 300 Mg. version.

Most doctors are EXTREMELY clueless about minerals, supplements and herbs (except the basics)... and btw most doctors are EXTREMELY clueless about hormones (except the basics) .. that's why most doctors avoid talking about hormones and supplements ..(unless obvious hormonal illnesses) ..actually many doctors don't know much about vitamins and don't know much about new treatments

Make an appointment with your doctor and tell them everything you just told me. Then come back and post their response.

It's more nuanced than absorption rate.

Same, I use it for travel when I need to make sure I have a morning deuce. Pop it the night before and ready to rumble in the morning.

Do you know if the citrate does it too?

Not sure. I've only used oxide and glycinate. Glycinate does not do it for sure.
