What is the main difference between this and magnesium oxide that I get at the grocery store?

magnesium oxide is very poorly absorbed. about 4%. it has a laxative property. it is the cheapest salt.magnesium taurate is much easier to absorbed. it has an affinity for the brain & cardiovascular systems.we have this item ready for prompt shipment.thanks

Oxide is not absorbed well by the body. Malate, aspartate, taurate and glycinate are better absorbed.

I'll just add that due to the much higher absorption rate this is much less likely to cause... ummm... loose bowels. I still got some of that undesirable effect from this too. I've also use MagMind and that too is a different type of magnesium but didn't get much from it.This is a good one to try out especially if you suffer from undesirable effects from the cheap magnesium

There must be a difference in the quality of the ingredients because this one WORKS!

This one helps to get morning heart racing under control - the other doesn't.

Dear Emma,There is actually very little difference between the 2 products in question. The only noticeable differences are the measurements of Vitamin D and Magnesium. The RAW Probiotics Women has 500 IU of Vitamin D, and 8.4 mg of Magnesium. While the RAW Probiotics Women 50 & Wiser has 667 IU of Vitamin D and 14 mg of Magnesium.Sincerely,Kellie B.Email Specialist Swanson Health Products

Hi Therese, I am no expert on this however the website i have included says that the magnesium oil is more pure than the flakes. It goes into alot of detail about the difference and when to use which one. http://www.ancient-minerals.com/blog-post/bath-flakes-vs-oil/

I assume the difference is you can consume the food grade, the other stuff might be processed do not consume.

Hi Hyeyong, I bought two different types one was more like a powder and the other more like cut up into small pieces. I prefer the one cut up which is the one you are looking at. The taste is stronger (maybe fresher) and it is easier to strain than the powder. I do not know what the different prices are about, hope this helps.Erma

I am not qualified to answer but it helps me relax Myles's and I am sleeping much better-and as a result feel better in the morning! I took plain old magnesium but I never noticed a difference. An employee at the health food store recommended this brand and said the glycinate version is absorbed much better. After trying it, I agree.

Mostly the same but I can see some external differences. The Salter has markings on the yellow buttons while Healtho doesn't. Also the salter has blue markin

This newer version with an olive oil base says on the label that it is free of Magnesium Stearate. However, it does have: Silicon dioxide and sorbitol.

I have ordered both. One in 2iz bottle and the other in a 4 oz bottle. I compared ingredients and saw nothing different in them.

To be quite honest, I believe they're the exact same thing. I couldn't tell the difference between the two. Whichever is the cheaper is the one I would get at the time since the shelf life was the same. Let me know if you have any further questions. D. Smith

while I have not tried MCT, perhaps the most important difference between CO and MCT is that CO, if cold-pressed is a whole nutrient dense food source vs MCT which had to be refined to separate MCFA from LCFA and SCFA

Hi Joan R. The only difference I can see is the packaging. Mine, for a cheaper price, came in a study, plain box with the product name on it. C.

The supplement facts portion of our label is provided by our supplier. No federal law is being violated, despite the unfounded accusations in your review. Magnesium Oxide is an essential part of the TRAACS patented Buffered Chelate to control pH. Therefore it does not need to appear as an additional ingredient; it is inherent in the patent. Magnesium Oxide is not added in to dilute the quality of the product, but rather is scientifically shown to enhance absorption and blood serum levels without causing stomach upset or inducing a laxative effect. These facts go beyond simple percentages. We understand that you have chosen not to purchase our product and have targeted us and similar products with inflammatory non-buyer reviews. Nevertheless, we are happy to continue to address each and every concern you may chose to post, however unfounded or contrived.

Not sure about the difference but I do not recommend the OXO good grips salt shaker. I was hoping this shaker would prevent salt clogging due to humidity. Even the disposable Kirkland Himalayan pink salt shakers are far better than the OXOs. I like OXO products. These salt shakers are failures.

According to the Designs for Health website, under ingredients it lists "Magnesium (TRAACS® Magnesium Bisglycinate Chelate Buffered - from Magnesium Bisglycinate Chelate and Magnesium Oxide)"
