Jay,
I've been following everyone's posts, but I haven't replied much, even though I have wanted to. I am concerned about posting private information on a public forum. Since you have been so active for such a long time, and so very, very helpful to me and the others, have you had any negative consequences from it? For example, has your name or address ever gotten out?
Thanks,
FancyGoldfish, 57, U.S.
hi fancy
you can always private message people if you want to keep it off the main screen..

D'accord Jay
Going to get some ZZZZZ now

Hi again, Jay,
It looks like the amount recommended of each vitamin is not the same in every place. I got a pack of Citracal from USA and 500mg is 50% of the recommended amount. So the total would be 1000mg and I learned from a very well recommended book about menopause (written by a gyno in the 90's) that we should take 1/3 of the dose of Calcium in Magnesium, that means 333.33...mg of magnesium, Instead, I take the whole recommendation of Calcium (+ D3 + other vitamins) but only 250mg of Magnesium for I could not find anything in the right proportion and for someone that has never taken even aspirin, all those vitamins make me feel like I am overdosing 
And FancyGoldfish, I took days to decide to sign in this forum, scared with privacy issues 
Regards, ladies
Hi Jay
Can the Magnesium oil be used alongside the tablet magnesium and calcium supplements, also what are the benefits of it?
Hope you are well in sunny Spain.

Hi Bella
i think every different manufacturer of vitamins all say different recommendations..
and the experts all do that too.
i just try them and if they are strong in my mind i split them . i split my b6 as they are 300mg here and i only want 150mg
its getting what feels right for your own body and what makes you feel good with in yourself for me ..

Magnesium is an essential mineral for staying healthy and is required for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body. Multiple health benefits of magnesium include transmission of nerve impulses, body temperature regulation, detoxification, energy production, and the formation of healthy bones and teeth.
Health specialists have always emphasized the importance of including adequate amounts of vitamins and minerals in our daily diet. Zinc, calcium, and magnesium are three of the most important minerals essential for good health. Magnesium aids in the absorption of calcium by the body, while zinc actively supports the body’s immune system.
Women of all ages benefit immensely from the intake of magnesium. Besides keeping osteoporosis at bay, magnesium health benefits in women include relief from symptoms of menopause and premenstrual syndrome (PMS). It also minimizes the risk of premature labor.
The other crucial health benefits of magnesium include protein synthesis, relief from bronchospasm (constricted airways) in the lungs, and improvement of parathyroid function. It boosts the bio-availability of vitamin B6 and cholesterol, improves muscle functioning, and prevents osteoporosis, insomnia, constipation, heart attacks, hypertension, constipation, migraines, kidney stones, and gallstones.
Good dietary sources of magnesium include nuts (especially almonds), whole grains, wheat germ, fish, and green leafy vegetables. As with most nutrients, daily needs for magnesium cannot be met from food alone which is why magnesium dietary supplements are recommended as well.
Which Form of Magnesium Should You Take?
The top five health benefits of magnesium are:
1. Magnesium may reverse osteoporosis
Multiple research studies conducted have suggested that calcium supplemented with magnesium improves bone mineral density. Magnesium deficiency alters calcium metabolism and the hormones that regulate calcium, resulting in osteoporosis. Intake of recommended levels of magnesium is important because it averts osteoporosis.
2. Magnesium prevents cardiovascular diseases
One of the most important benefits of magnesium is that it is associated with lowering the risk of coronary heart diseases. Dietary surveys have suggested that sufficient magnesium intake may reduce the chance of having a stroke. Magnesium deficiency increases the risk of abnormal heart rhythms, which increases the risk of complications after a heart attack. Therefore, consuming recommended amounts of magnesium dietary supplements may be beneficial to the cardiovascular system.
3. Magnesium regulates high blood pressure (Hypertension)
Magnesium plays a key role in regulating blood pressure naturally. Magnesium supplements and a diet including plenty of fruits and vegetables, which are good sources of potassium and magnesium, are consistently associated with lowering blood pressure.

4. Magnesium treats diabetes
Studies show that individuals with a magnesium deficiency have a risk of developing type-2 diabetes and severe diabetic retinopathy. Magnesium aids in carbohydrate metabolism and influences the release and activity of insulin, thereby controlling blood glucose levels. It has been proven that for every 100 milligrams of increase in magnesium daily intake, there was a 15 percent decrease in the risk of developing type-2 diabetes.
5. Magnesium treats migraines, insomnia, and depression
The numerous magnesium health benefits also include the treatment of migraines, insomnia, and symptoms of depression. Magnesium is also known to cure severe forms of psychiatric dysfunctions including panic attacks, stress, anxiety, and undue agitations. Magnesium supplements considerably reduce the severity of such attacks and may also help in reducing the rate of recurrence.
...Which Form of Magnesium Is Best For You?
Because magnesium is so essential to body energy production, common symptoms of magnesium depletion include fatigue, along with headaches, insomnia, and muscle pain, cramps, and spasms.
Unfortunately, the solution is not as easy as walking into your local drug or grocery store and picking up a bottle of magnesium pills. Magnesium comes in many different forms, and quality is also a big issue. While magnesium is one of the safest nutrients you can take, you need to know what you’re doing to optimize your magnesium levels for better health.
Magnesium glycinate is a chelated form of magnesium that tends to provide the highest levels of absorption and bioavailability and is typically considered ideal for those who are trying to correct a deficiency
Magnesium oxide is a non-chelated type of magnesium, bound to an organic acid or a fatty acid. Contains 60 percent magnesium, and has stool softening properties
Magnesium chloride / Magnesium lactate contain only 12 percent magnesium, but has better absorption than others, such as magnesium oxide, which contains five times more magnesium
Magnesium sulfate / Magnesium hydroxide (milk of magnesia) are typically used as a laxative. Be aware that it's easy to overdose on these, so ONLY take as directed
Magnesium carbonate, which has antacid properties, contains 45 percent magnesium
Magnesium taurate contains a combination of magnesium and taurine, an amino acid. Together, they tend to provide a calming effect on your body and mind
Magnesium citrate is magnesium with citric acid, which has laxative properties
Hi Jay
Oh WOW that's information overload, i will print it off and read it easier to digest that way
at the moment i take simply supplement own brand Calcium 400mg | Magnesium 200mg 1 in a morning and 1 30 mins before bed. Could i use the magnesium spray alongside this or would that be too much magnesium.
Thanks

Migraine headaches
Magnesium deficiency is related to factors that promote headaches, including neurotransmitter release and vasoconstriction.
People who experience migraine headaches have lower levels of serum and tissue magnesium than those who do not.
