Good State Ionic Magnesium 8 oz – Natural – Nano Sized Mineral Technology – Professional Grade – Supports Healthy Chemical & Enzymes Reactions – 96 Servings (8.1 fl oz)

Great magnesium
This magnesium has been great. I keep it in the fridge and add a little to fresh lemon water. It really help’s relax you and we add need to add more magnesium to our diets. What is in regular multi-vitamins is trash. I will buy again.

Incredible absorption rate and helped reduce my neuropathic nerve pain!!
I ordered two. They came at separate times.This supplement is incredible! I have been on Lyrica for nerve damage but have been researching alot about the benefits of magnesium. As a test, I went off Lyrica for 2 days. Instead of taking the Lyrica, I took the ionic magnesium three times a day (in a glass of water) and I have to tell you it did a better job of controlling my nerves than the Lyrica! I also felt less nerve pain-seriously! I also have severe muscle cramps and it loosened my muscles. I was pain free for two days! I went back on the Lyrica to test what would happen and it was not as effective as controlling the pain than the ionic magnesium. I have also had a dry mouth for many years and was tested for diabetes but I am fine and do not have diabetes. After drinking the magnesium in water the dry mouth went away. I think I have been magnesium deficient for years and the ionic form has one of the best absorption rates. It is really helping my body to restore the balance of enzymes, etc. I was on Gabapentin before going on Lyrica and I think I really depleted my magnesium levels by taking all these meds. As a result my muscles were tighter and I felt more pain. I am going to order more for myself and for friends whom I think have magnesium deficiency and don’t know it. Lyrica and other medications deplete your body of magnesium. So in taking it to get better and reduce nerve pain, you are depleting your body of magnesium important for regulating enzymes and helping your nerves and relaxing your muscles. It’s a vicious cycle- take meds to reduce pain and then deplete your magnesium levels which cause more pain. Read The Magnesium Miracle by Dr. Dean and get this ionic form and you will not be sorry!! I am still on the Lyrica (need to listen to my doctor) but I’m taking extra doses of Magnesium to make up for the depletion caused by the meds. Eventually I want to get off the meds and just use the Magnesium. The ionic form is awesome and is the form that is best absorbed by the body. Every one out there on Lyrica, Gaba, and other pain killers for nerve damage TAKE ionic MAGNESIUM!! It won’t cure everything (depends on your medical condition and severity) but it reduced my nerve pain by 70%. I am also on alpha lipoic acid to help with nerve pain and coQ10 as well. Magnesium offered in vitamin supplements are the worse form and have like a 10-20% absorption rate. So when you take 100 mgs of mag u are really only getting like 2mg if u are lucky. And they recommend women get from 300 to 400 mgs daily! How is that going to happen when magnesium oxide (the king of poor quality magnesium they use in vitamin supplements) has such a poor absorption rate? The liquid ionic form has a 99% absorption rate and you don’t have to worry about constipation and popping all those pills! I love this stuff- I told my son it is ‘Magic water!”

I was SO confused about the different forms of magnesium, how they were absorbed, why some forms were absorbed better than others, if or why they were beneficial in different ways. Utter confusion! As far as I can tell, most of the other (tablet) forms of magnesium which you take orally are likely to be poorly absorbed as they need to be broken down in your gut and metabolized via your liver in order to present the magnesium in a form which your body cells can use. This is an inefficient process so any which cannot be converted/used gets flushed out (excuse the pun), hence the laxative effect which many experience (I did when taking magnesium glycinate!). In addition, calcium competes with magnesium for absorption and so too much calcium in the diet will block magnesium absorption. Our physiological requirement ratio for calcium to magnesium is about 2:1. In dairy products the ratio is 10:1. So, consuming a lot of dairy products (as our modern diets tend to, unfortunately) or a high dose calcium supplement will induce a magnesium deficiency. I was very surprised about this because we are all told to get plenty of calcium to help our bones and teeth but no-one ever tells you to take magnesium as well to prevent deficiency! No wonder we are probably all deficient!Another problem with absorption is tea drinking as that contains tannin, which binds up and chelates all minerals including magnesium.So…keen to avoid all this, I tried the magnesium chloride oil Better You Magnesium Oil Original Spray 100mlwhich you apply to your skin twice a day as there is good evidence that absorption through the skin is an effective way of sorting out a deficiency. However, the Better You website says this: “If you are Magnesium deficient you may feel a tingle or slight itch upon application of Magnesium. This is normal and is actually a sign of Magnesium deficiency. The tingling will reduce as you continue to use Magnesium.” Well! A slight tingle is the under statement of the century! I felt like I wanted to scratch my skin clean off my bones for about half an hour after each application!! Realising this probably meant I am as deficient in magnesium as I suspected, I tried to stick with it but found I was putting the application off because it was so unpleasant to be itching and tingling like that, even when I diluted it.Back to the drawing board.I get that the issue here is about absorption. If you can present the magnesium to your body in a way which is ready to be used and absorbed at cellular level, you dont have the issue of malabsorption and poor bowel tolerance. After reading Dr Carolyn Deans website I was searching for an alternative to her more expensive “Remag” formula and struggling to understand if this Good State product was comparable.Here is what I found out from Carolyn Deans website: “Magnesium enters the cells through channels 500 picometers wide (about 5 billionth of a meter). We normally rely on plants to break magnesium down to this size but some companies use a process that breaks magnesium down to picometer size. In my experience 100 mg of Pico-Ionic magnesium has the same beneficial effect as 5-10 times the other forms of magnesium.” How does this compare to the Good State product? They say “The product contains Nano sized magnesium particles utilizing the latest Nano Mineral Technology. The magnesium particles are 0.1 nanometers in diameter, also known as 1 angstrom, giving you a product that is angstrom sized water soluble and completely absorbable.” For those of you who don’t know your angstroms from your nano particles from your picometers (and who does for goodness sake!?) a bit of googling tells me that the Angstrom sized particles in the Good State formulation are the equivalent of 100 picometers in size. 4 times smaller than the entry channels which Carolyn Dean refers to.So, as far as I can see the “pico-ionic” magnesium which Carolyn Dean uses in her ReMag formula should be entirely comparable absorption rate wise, with the “angstrom sized” magnesium in the Good State formula as both are easily small enough to fit through the 500 picometer gap in the cells.This product is a good deal cheaper than ReMag and I couldnt find a UK supplier, so I went with this instead. I really hope that helps anyone else out there who is finding the magnesium supplementation experience a bit of a brain strain!!

Good Product
