Re: update       06/23/10 05:50 AM Edit Reply Quote Syl Reged: 03/13/05 Posts: 5499 Loc: SK, CANADA Natural Calm contains magnesium carbonate plus citric acid which when combined in water produces magnesium citrate. Now Food product contains magnesium citrate only. The difference accounts for the fizziness and the dissolvability of the two products. In Natural Calm the magnesium carbonate in the presence of water and an acid like citric acid releases carbon dioxide which produces the fizz and magnesium carbonate is converted to magnesium citrate. This is why Natural Calm dissolves better. However, the active ingredient in both products is magnesium citrate which on its own does not dissolve well in water. -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
