I had been taking supplement of Magnesium Oxide at 250 mg and heard that aint
so good for you. Instead, now, I bought MgCitrate in powdered form from health
food store. Each teaspoon supposed to have 450 mg. What doseage should I take
daily? I'm taking 1/2 tsp a day.

You should try Laetril instead. Despite what skeptics and drug companies say,
it is NOT cyanide. High doses provide bioavailable minerals & Vitamin B-17, a
necessary nutrient you won't find in mainstream nutrition books.

Why are you taking Magnesium?

Interestingly, since Magnesium oxide is a very stable compound, I think
that the bio-availability is very, very low. Therefore, I don't think
that dosage would be harmful.

The bioavailability of Magnesium citrate would be higher.

As to whether you should or should not be taking a Magnesium supplement,
I leave to you.

It's worth noting that many people do not get the RDA of magnesium in
their diets; I saw one study that suggested that over 80% of women do
not, for example.

Mag citrate is an acidic form of magnesium and probably contradicts any
health benefits you will get out of it by making your system acidic.

Try magnesium, chelated. Mag oxide gave me bone spurs in both feet and many
spots. The other health benefits were wonderful.

The RDA for magnesium is 420 mg. This is the minimum daily intake to barely
sustain life without disease. This is also the measurement of the elemental
requirements. I doubt 10Kg of mag oxide would give you this amount.

COMMENT:

Baloney! Learn some physiology! Metal citrate salts are salts-- they
are neutral not acidic. And like lactate salts, metal citrate salts
are metabolized to bicarbonate, which makes the body alkalotic, not
acidic. Citrate and lactate salts have long been used to *alkalinize*
the urine for this reason. Magnesium citrate will have the same
effect.

Lactic acid and citric acid (the acids themselves, not their salts)
effectively do not present the body with any acid load,, any more than
carbonic acid does. That is because they can all be completely
metabolized to CO2 and water, and the CO2 is breathed away without
affecting the urine. However, this is not true of the metalic salts of
these acids, which can obviously be metabolized to bicarbonate ion,
but no further.

COMMENT:

Any magnesium salt that is soluble will do. The oxide and the
hydroxide are indeed relatively poorly absorbed (generally due to the
fact that except in small doses, few people make enough acid at single
meals to completely convert more than a few hundred milligrams of
magnesium oxide or hydroxide to the free soluble Mg++ ion (equivalent
to what you get in MgCl2). There is no evidence that chelates are
absorbed any better than magnesium chloride or lactate. Buy what's
cheapest per milligram of Mg.

That's not how RDA's were historically arrived at (or DRI's either).

Well, you doubt wrong. Studies show perhaps 4% absorption of Mg from
MgO. It's up around 20% for other salts, so you do the math.
