If magnesium is recommended for all the ailments the good dr mentioned, including the heart and kidney stones formed from a lack of, why is it then cautioned in use for those same patients?

Magnesium makes an amazing difference in my experience. I've been using Natural Calm but have also tried mag oil, mag chloride, and mag sulfate.

After taking Magnesium Oxide for my stress, depression and anxiety I feel than taking antidepressants. I noticed there's many types of magnesium, am I taking the wrong one for my anxiety? BTW I take 200mg to 300mg Magnesium with a children's multivitamin with 100% iron ( I'm anemic) and It has a 50mg for calcium.

Thank you, I don't know I've studied in the US and I relate to the American mentality. Even though financially life here in Saudi Arabia is much easier and wealthier BUT I CAN'T RELATE TO THE SUCKEN SAUDI MENTALITY.

Hi, I used to take MSM at 6 grms a day.....and had normal blood pressure. I have been off my MSM for 6 months now.......new job stress and just getting by financially. Now my pressure is 158 over 90.

Did you find the MSM was the key to your lower bp?

@madmanatsea relaxes the Colon <<

Well isn't this relaxation causing the h2o to be drawn out of the organs and tissues more then usual, and thus mag/cit acts as a laxative; so replacement with water and electrolytes [potassium] etc is warranted. Of course the dosage must be regulated for each individual so as to not have diahrea much to often [just soft stool] . The cholesterol seems do decrease also.

@EGMAG

The only way that would happen is if you are taking too much magnesium to the point you have diahrea, however I am not convinced that it is a diuretic......I believe the Magnesium relaxes the Colon and prevents the FORCEFUL contractions that cause up to 70% of Americans to have Diverticulosis and some 15% of these get Diverticulitis so if you want COLON cancer or Diverticulitis DON'T SUPPLEMENT with Magnesium. This relaxation causes the colon to have a bigger canal-waste flies!
