I've started using Nature's Own Cal/Mag...I take two tablets a day..375mg cal and 180mg Mag I think...has a bit of potassium in it too. The liquid from Puritan's Pride was great, just got a bit pricy. When I found I could tolerate a blend in tablet form I switched. So far, so good.

So, this is a total of 700 mg C, and 350 mg M a day? Did you order it on line?

I just brought up this old thread about this question. Magnesium for C

There doesn't seem to be agreement in type or amount. How would we find this out?

Is there any easy answer to any of this? So many opposite opinions. Oxide is supposed to be best because it is least absorbed? But others say Citrate. I think I need to become a scientist in order to figure this all out.
