A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mag oxide poorly abs: Magnesium oxide is poorly absorbed no matter what-it's best use is as a laxative! choose magnesium glycinate, taurate or citrate-see http://bit.Ly/1dpai09 omeprazole interferes with mineral absorption ; is not healthy to take for very long; there are much better alternatives.See http://bit.Ly/1b1avqs ; http://chriskresser.Com/heartburn a holistic md is much more likely to be aware of alternatives.
