Q.What is the difference between Magnesium citrate and magnesium malate ?
A.Magnesium Citrate:
Magnesium citrate is the product of magnesium combined with citric acid, which has the chemical formula C6H6O7Mg. Magnesium citrate is often used in liquid form as a saline laxative to treat constipation, or to completely empty the intestines prior to surgery. Magnesium citrate may also be packaged into capsules and used to increase levels of magnesium in the blood to treat magnesium deficiency.
Magnesium Malate:
Magnesium malate forms when magnesium is reacted with malic acid, yielding a chemical with the formula C4H4MgO5. Magnesium malate is most commonly used to treat a condition known as fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia is a poorly understood disease characterized by fatigue, muscle pain, stiffness, headache and memory problems, and may be linked to low magnesium levels.

A.The food sources of Magnesium Citrate are as follows:
Kelp, Wheat bran, Almonds, Spinach, Raisin bran cereal, Cashews, Soybeans, Wheat germ, Mixed nuts, Bran flakes cereal, Green leafy vegetables, legumes, Fruits, Fish.

Q.What are the magnesium defficiency symptoms ?
A. Deficient symptoms:
Stress and diseases involving secretion of adrenalin results in losses of magnesium.  Deficiencies cause involuntary muscle movements, such as spasms and twitching, convulsions, insomnia, irregular heart beat, leg and foot cramps, muscle pain, restlessness, seizures, tachycardia, bedwetting and depression.  Deficiency is also implicated in mental disorders, such as: anxiety, confusion, hypothermia, apathy, confusion and disorientation, learning disability and memory impairment.   Behavioural symptoms such as: hyperactivity, loss of appetite and anorexia.  Physical symptoms including: weakness and tiredness, numbness and tingling, nausea, vertigo, convulsions, epilepsy, uncontrollable eye flicking, muscular in co-ordination, insomnia, constipation, hypoglycaemia, difficulty in swallowing, abnormal ECG rhythm pre-menstrual symptoms, and susceptibility to the toxic effects of digoxin. To make the problem worse a diet high in refined and processed foods is often deficient in magnesium.  This can be aggravated by the addition of bran, which binds with magnesium making it less available to the body. Also, high consumption of milk, which has an extremely low magnesium-phosphorous ratio, may be involved with hyperactivity and learning disablement.  Even children with high IQ can suffer learning problems due to magnesium deficiency.   


GREAT STUFF!  (01/11/2011)  
Good form of magnesium, effective and well tolerated. I take 2 capsules at night which helps with relaxation and improves sleep. Highly recommended if you suffer from cramps.
