[RC] magnesium? - k s swigart

Heidi said:


Thanks for adding that tidbit.  I've used Mag Sulfate often enough,
but since I've never worked on people or done colonoscopies, Mag
Citrate wasn't on my "radar screen."

So the answer to Kim's question would be, "neither one!"


Which is, after all, what _I_ said...."that the magnesium compound of
chioce for livestock is magnesium oxide."

Which, BTW, is the magnesium compound found in Dyna-spark.  The
electrolytes made by Dynamite (that _I_ use during competition).  I only
use epsom salts at home.

However, I suppose that magnesium oxide might be a laxative too.  I
don't know.  I just know that it is added to salt blocks of cattle in
order to keep them from getting grass tetany (ataxia/seizures/collapse
caused by hypomagnesmia--that's low magnesium in case anybody is
wondering).
