Can anyone tell me if magnesium glycinate is any better than Magnesium Oxide, which I have been taking with so so results? Google shows many sources of Mag. Gly. but they only have 100 mg of Mag. and other vitamins such as vitamin E etc. I only have to take 4 pills of Mag oxide to get a 1000 mg of mag but would have to take 10 pills of mag Gly. and it is a lot more expensive. Thanks for any info you can give me on this. https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,530,530#msg-530 Mon, 24 Aug 2026 03:16:21 +0000 Phorum 5.2.23 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,530,4441#msg-4441 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,530,4441#msg-4441 I'm new to the boards and have spent the evening reading thru the posts. What a wonderful site - it sure helps to hear about the experiences of others with the same problem. I was diagnosed about 14 years ago with benign PVC's and had my first episode of a-fib in July of 2001 after spending 11 days in the hospital due to pancreatitis and then gall bladder surgery. (History of GERD) I thought the first episode may have been caused by low blood sugar - started during the night and lasted about 6 hours, then stopped. No more a-fib for 20 months then a second episode, during the night lasting about 6 hours. Then 5 weeks later I had my third episode (after a high fat dinner and afternoon of drinking and partying) and went to the ER where I finally learned that what I had been experiencing was a-fib. That episode lasted 13 hours and converted on it's own. I was fine again for about 8 months but last month I got the flu and a sinus infection and had 2 more episodes in Dec. - again, during the nite, lasting about 6 hours. I have been on a beta blocker for years for high blood pressure and accuretic - tolerate them well. My doctors have suggested warfarin but so far I am resisting. I am however very interested in all the posts about magnesium. I do take aspirin and vitamin E and a supplement with calcium/magnesium/zinc. But now I'm reading that the calcium could cause a-fib and wonder about the fact that women need calcium and what are we suppose to do about that? Would love to hear from anyone - I'm open to discussion and sharing of experiences. Thanks and be well.

I see Lorraine has advised Willner Chemists....as a good source. It's worth it to pay the additional money and get results.

PC also recommended the KAL brand of magnesium glycinate - just be sure you don't get one that has calcium in it...or if it does, a small amount because calcium suppplements can contribute to afib.

Good luck. Jackie]]> Jackie AFIBBERS FORUM Sun, 19 Oct 2003 07:40:35 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,530,548#msg-548 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,530,548#msg-548

Do you recall the price of the glycinate? Thanks!
