Absorption of calcium and magnesium taken simultaneously?

It depends on the forms you are using. Elemental magnesium and calcium compete for absorption, as they are absorbing through the limited number of ion channels. Chelated forms would be absorbing through the more abundant

Citrate is a salt. So that dissociates in your stomach anyway, then the magnesium absorbs through the ion channels. It would not absorb the same way as glycinate. Magnesium taurate is a chelate, though. So that would abs

L-threonate is the most common one other people use. I have started going a different route, though. I've been using our Micromag instead. That envelops a magnesium oxide particle in a phospholipid layer encased by a suc

We worked with the patent holder in Italy to get it made and bring it out here. I wrote a pretty good explanation here: https://www.reddit.com/r/NootropicsDepot/comments/c9o9f5/im_having_a_little_trouble_finding_informa

I'm exclusively using our Micromag now. I prefer it for the ease of just taking a single capsule and not having any other effects from chelated amino acid pairs. I can take glycine at night if I want to sleep, or threoni

Everything requires 3rd party testing. Threonic acid is not common on its own. It's mostly used as an intermediate, which is why you don't see it. I am considering offering it as a standalone product, though. I am not

Sure, it is not technically an amino acid. It's a sugar acid. However, I believe they are still coordinate bonds, not ionic bonds. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12961869 >Further analyses indicate that M2+ in the

Well there should be less competition with calcium for the ion channels if the magnesium form does not dissociate. That's because it will favor the dipeptide transporters. Some will still use the ion channels, though. So
