I am looking to buy some Mg Glycinate. Some folks who post on this BB seem to think highly of Carlson. Another BB I visited had a low opinion of Kal. Since it costs significantly less than any other brand, it is difficult to ignore it. Has anyone here had experience, good or bad, with Kal brand? https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,2074,2074#msg-2074 Wed, 09 Sep 2026 00:18:43 +0000 Phorum 5.2.23 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,2074,2209#msg-2209 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,2074,2209#msg-2209

As for Richard's question, I notice a difference between the Carlson's and the Metagenics, and the Metagenics is better. Why? In my opinion, it's because the Metagenics appears to be better absorbed and utilized. My experience with Carlson's (which has an enteric coating that Metagenics does not have, perhaps interfering with full absorption) is that the 200 mg tablet is not absorbed and utilized by my body as well as Metagenics.

I can take a 200 mg Carlson tab before bedtime, and there could be muscle twitching in the middle of the night. That does not happen with Metagenics.

I have a bit more faith in the Metagenics product.]]> Jerry AFIBBERS FORUM Mon, 17 Nov 2003 05:22:27 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,2074,2121#msg-2121 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,2074,2121#msg-2121 Char AFIBBERS FORUM Sun, 16 Nov 2003 21:44:04 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,2074,2110#msg-2110 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,2074,2110#msg-2110
Any comments?

Thanks very much. Your reply was very helpful. I will save it in a file in my AFib directory.

It is patented and is specifically formulated to produce the bioavailability needed by a mechanism similar to that used by amino acids and is not dependent on stomach acid for absorption (as are other magnesium products and other minerals.)

The label says it is a fully reacted magnesium amino acid chelate USPatent #4,830,716 - Albion.


The other form I continue to be impressed with is magnesium taurate capsules - not tablets - from Cardiovascular Research.

Additionally, several other posters here have indicated that Pure Encapsulations has a capsule of magnesium glycinate and I am considering trying that when my other stash gets low.

I realize there are cost considerations for all of us, but I don't think all magnesium is created equal. KAL may work for some people, but if you are still having afib with KAL, then consider switching to a higher quality brand and one with the credentials that Mag Glycinate enjoys. Otherwise, the money you spend is just going to waste - literally.

While I hate to spend all that extra money on Metagenics, I can say without hesitation that it is the most effective form of mag glycinate I've ever tried.

I wouldn't bother to try the cheaper brands. It isn't about the money, it's about health.

They gave no reason. I'm glad to hear that it has been helpful for you. I'll try some along with perhaps one or two other brands.

I have been using it and have not had any problems that I know of.
