Does it include Mg Oxide too LeeAnn?
If one is over 50, taking a Mg supplement will make you sleep a whole lot better too. If you wake up in the middle of the night, you’ll fall asleep quicker if you take a couple of the pills. Heh, this is what I do…and no more lying there staring at the ceiling or counting sheep for an hour.
Might add that: Vitamin D3 – Vitamin D3 has been shown to increase absorption of magnesium. The RDA of 400 IU is a joke. People need about 4000 to 5000iu of D3. This is what I take.
And the secret, unknown to most Vitamin K2 – Found in natto, some cheeses like Brie and Gouda, and emu oil, vitamin K2 works with magnesium, calcium, and vitamin D to keep the body balanced, among many other things. Start taking D3 and K2 and you’ll be running around like a spring chicken.
Why You Should Start Taking Magnesium Right Now!
I’ve been taking this one for a month or so now. I got it on Amazon (I think Dr. Berry had linked to it in one of his videos.)
You’re brave. I can eat anything, but that powdered mag was disgusting. I have a huge bag just sitting around.
Geez. I have alamost all of those symptoms but I take magnesium supplements everyday. They’re from Trader Joe’s. I’m switching over to Dr. Whittaker’s brand to see if there is any difference.
I agree that everyone should start taking Magnesium to some degree - because industrial agriculture has stripped the soil of it virtually all over the industrial world (except if you’re a small farmer with old permaculture acreage and/or you’re able to purchase foods from such - or you’re able to hunt/gather from intact land). From what I understand, most vegetable matter no longer contains much Magnesium at all! Even grassfed meat can be low in it, depending on whether or not the soil is ancient grassland (much is not - it’s post-industrial farming land, new pasture planting, etc). This, despite the fact that Magnesium is responsible for something like 18K processes in the human body.
Of course, when we really think about it - if the earth’s soil has been stripped of Magnesium, the big picture is that industrial civilization is thoroughly destructive and abusive.
That said - one has to do the best one can with the knowledge one has, in order to make some sense of the senseless and be of service in this world. We see this in the film The Magic Pill, with the wonderful work being done with the aboriginal health center project that is LCHF/keto oriented - and with the humane animal husbandry/kinship movement. I think health recovery can be definitely play a pivotal part in a greater movement towards grassroots community leadership and systemic change, and LCHF/keto can be well complemented by paying attention to minerals and halogens/iodine.
Unfortunately most Magnesium supplements are either low-absorption or cause intestinal distress and a big waste o’ cash.
Looking at absorption from a molecular, cellular absorption point of view is necessary. Dr. Carolyn Dean did this with ionic versions, and you can google lots of her articles. But that’s not everything - ionic particles are a definite improvement for the human body but nowhere near as absorbed as angstrom particles.
You can put a teaspoon or two of angstrom magnesium under your tongue and it’s absorbed by the body systemically within 30 seconds apparently. I learned this about 7 years ago. There are just a few companies that distribute this kind of magnesium, and I buy mine from the source (a company in Utah) which other companies re-label and triple the price on. I buy the super concentrated stuff, and use 1/8 of it diluted into a large/16 oz. bottle of nano-purified or spring water, depending on what I have available.
I would say that apart from switching to LCHF/keto just over a year ago, angstrom magnesium has helped to tide me over and protected my healthy ageing despite the dietary gaps/nutritional deficiencies I developed as a longtime vegetarian years back etc.

I’m going to start taking Dr. Dean’s Remag again. During Keto, I was getting high pulse and palpitations again…the kind of Mg I was taken, altho pretty good, probably STILL I wasn’t getting enough. Remag will get it done. Also upping me folate (folic acid)
Anyone had a go at Magnesium Malate, and if in Australia, which brand did you use?
I have been taking chelated magnesium for a while, but lately had brain fog and some anxiety symptoms recur, so I was hoping a change in the type of mag would help with this. Very keen to hear brands that people use too, as the unregulated industry leaves us vulnerable to dodgy products. More than the waste of money, I don’t want to waste the time.
I take this one because I too was having pounding palpitations and an irregular rhythm. There’s a cardiologist named Sanjay Gupta (no, not that one) from York Cardiology in England who has a great youtube channel about these issues. It totally resolved mine and I’ll be eternally grateful as they caused me much anxiety. It’s Cardiac Research Magnesium Taurate. I’ll post a picture too. I get mine from Amazon.
Thanks for the tip…I will check into it right now!
How much do you take of it @misterbutters ? I see it contains only 125mg.
This makes me realize that most, including me sometimes, don’t take enough Magnesium of any kind. One reviewer on that Taurate said they were taking 3 pills a day, but nothing happened. They tripled that dose and then it clicked; and her irregular heart beat and fast pulse went away. So whatever we take, I guess you have to make sure you’re getting enough; and take it spread out, like 3 times a day. Else you will just eliminate it through a movement and still not bet getting enough.

Funny, another lady said taking only one in the morning works. She’s quit her beta blockers and metoprolol altogether too. I think if everyone knew about Magnesium Taurate and ReMag, medical dr’s would lose half their patients…and also couldn’t afford their BMWs and country clubs.
@SlowBurnMary, I’ve been taking the angstrom magnesium you recommended for a couple of weeks now. I’m sleeping so much better already. I’ve suffered from terrible insomnia for decades, and can now fall asleep without any other aid at all (at least half the time). Staying asleep is still an issue, hoping that may continue to improve over time.
Thanks again for the recommendation!
Wow, that’s wonderful news!!! Good to know you’re actually absorbing all the help of Magnesium via the angstrom form.
You might want to also check into the synergy between Magnesium and Vit. D3, which needs supplementation if you’re not already taking it or already practicing basking in the dawn or dusk sunlight and making sure to have the sun hit your closed eyelids whilst staring at it (apparently the stimulation of the pupils by sunlight activates the pineal gland and the body’s Vit. D aborption processes).
I’m down to taking Mag + Vit D3 only on Sat or Sun - 1-2 capfulls of Angstrom Mag and 15000IU Vit D3 (it’s fat soluble, so can be supplemented weekly rather than daily) - as my schedule and the weather haven’t been allowing me to soak in much sun lately.
I hear you about staying asleep. It’s interesting… I used to be a very light sleeper - and now sleep deeper though very aware.
Keto brain energy seems to have its own cycles related to the phases of fat burning and the degree of neurogenesis… am currently in a water-logging phase before the next swoosh, sleeping nice n’ deep, and having meaningful/helpful dreams. But when in a thermogenic phase I seem to need much less sleep - as if it’s the full moon all the time! 
Has anyone taken ReMag with another oral magnesium? I seem to recall someone using the glycinate with remag but wasn’t sure why they would?
Dr. Sarah Ballantyne PhD has been a critic of the ketogenic diet. She is the Paleo-Mom. I remember she had a stoush with Jimmy Moore a few years ago. Strangely Jimmy may have come out on top (with the help of Dr. Adam Nally OD) - my opinionated opinion. But I had my keto bias headphones on that day.
In amongst the carry-on, it was clear that Dr. Ballantyne does her research, so I do check-in on what she is saying despite not always agreeing with her points of view.
Dr. Ballantyne does a good job of discussing Magnesium on this podcast:
It’s good information to reconcile against years of magnesium conversations on the ketoforums.

It is also pertinent information during the pandemic due to magnesium status being closely associated with functionality of Vitamin D in the body. Vitamin D and immune function is a different white rabbit to follow.
