Regarding the posts about magnesium, I use Magnesium Complex (citrate & malate). It contains magnesium citrate and malate, both of which are better absorbed and more highly bioavailable than magnesium oxide, magnesium carbonate, etc. It does not contain any calcium, which I like since I don't really need any extra calcium. The other thing I like is that I can open the capsules and pour the powder under my tongue to get the magnesium into my system faster. The taste is no problem, a little tart, kind of like the little tart candies I ate as a child.

Since each capsule provides 100mg of magnesium, I take roughly 3-4 capsules with lunch and another 3-4 capsules with dinner or sometimes before bed.

For me, most liquids are either too sweet or just don't agree with me. I've never had a problem with the capsules. As far as absorption goes, I've stopped a bad leg or foot cramp in about 60 seconds by pouring the powder under my tongue.

Hope this helps,
