Hi,
I keep reading about this reMag and was wondering exactly what it is....just liquid mag?
Is it better than pills or oil?
Thank you

It's claimed to be 100 % absorbed, which makes it extremely potent. Other than that, I know nothing about it.

there are many many forms of magnesium and like many thing, you get what you pay for ie more expensive product will be a better form that better absorbed.
most people here do ok with doctors best glyncinate and/or topical magnesium.
a member recently mentioned that they did far better on the ReMag product.

Thanks for posting the link Tex 
I'm the member that does very well on this liquid form. I sip it through the day in my water. I think it's a wonderful idea to read as much as you can on it. If it resonates with you, give it a try. My whole family is on it. My father had a very debilitating stroke and he can now move his left arm after 2 months on ReMag

Vanessa,
I think the Re-Mag is absorbing a lot more than the pill form....can't say exactly how I am able to tell this, but I have been adding a rather small amount (probably 1/8 tsp maybe a touch more) everytime I drink a 20oz water which may add up to around 1/4-1/2 tsp a day and that doesn't seem like a lot but with my topical and minor ingesting of Drs Best in the morning I am reporting that I am having closer to 5-6's rather than 6-7's Bristol scale bathroom trips....much more improvement for me than the last 2 months of what I had been doing. My body must like this product quite a bit, and it must be reacting with the VitD better too.
There is a point when the body has been going thru so much WD or loose water stool that when it starts to learn to bulk up again it goes thru a cramping type scenario. At first I thought I was having a monthly cramping cycle
but no it was just my intestines actually contracting food thru them like a normal intestine should be doing in the first place! For some this may be TMI, but I had to say something because I haven't been used to my guts working...period.
I have been peeing a bit more, but that is a good thing, better that way than the bum!
I try not to eat outside my norm and to have had a flare continue for almost 3 months has been very annoying let alone depressing at times. I think this is just the ebb an flow of Colitis, and I really hate it, but it is my life now so I keep re-inventing how I am living it.
If this $30 bottle of Re-Mag will give me the healing required to get to my next level so I can perhaps absorb better from the pill form later on then I will set aside this amount of money as needed because getting all the Magnesium into our system is so crucial to heal properly, and I think we prolong our ability when we start stop and lurch along for who knows 3-5 years???
Until the next update Side note, I will know if an when I have added enough Mag to my water because I will either get C or I will return back to WD, but for now I am just slowing down the gut process and that is a start.

Thats great Erica!
I'm glad you are seeing some improvements. All my improvements were everything BUT my bowel habits. They are still "fluff poops" as Polly puts it. Formed but when you flush they fluff into brown water. Again with the TMI! But like I said, I'm healing from benzo gut damage. I still go 4 times a day on average up to 10 times on a bad day about twice a month. I can't pin it down. So on I go. The ebb and flow of colitis....good way to put it. Today I went once and it was perfect. No fluff, then I got worried! Our minds are curious things for sure.

Hi Louann,
If you are dry maybe use the Magnesium lotion and alternate between that and the oil form. I get dry too, a part of me thinks I need to alternate how I am applying the magnesium, perhaps soak in Epsom salts at some point to hydrate the skin, then apply some mag lotion. I feel it is a normal feeling and I try now to drink or sip on water very often, and I am including the ionic magnesium liquid in that now too.
I use a moist rag and lightly wipe the white salt after effect off once I have let it soak on the skin and dry. Change places that you let it sit on the skin and rotate that too...some places feel better than others ;-)
Vanessa,
I hope I'm not jinxing myself but I am peeing more and I'm almost having a type of norman....not perfect, probably along the lines of the fluffy fall apart stuff....but Hey I'll take it!

Thanks Ericka...i drink so much water i'm surprised I don't float, that is why I was wondering why the mag oil was even affecting my hands....it's just the palms, so I am trying to use the back of my hand to rub it in to avoid the palms for a while. I really do enjoy the oil and lotion....i just tend to use the oil beccause you get more elemental mag than the lotion. I was having a little trouble with the pills and D....never ending strategy!!! I will definitely try the Epsom salt bath. Do you know how much mag that gives you by chance?
Thanks again !
Thanks again !

I started taking ReMag about 4 days ago. I am using 4 drops per 12-oz of water a couple times a day which I believe totals 1/2 tsp per day. I noticed the first day that I am peeing a lot more. I am not noticing any other symptoms from taking it. Does anyone know why it would make you pee a lot? I'll have to do more reading up on this.

Magnesium deficiency causes increased urination (probably associated with the fact that magnesium deficiency causes insulin resistance). However taking too much magnesium has the same effect as a magnesium deficiency. Too much magnesium in circulation in the blood can be toxic. The only ways the body has available to get rid of excess amounts of magnesium in the bloodstream are by transporting it into storage in cells for immediate use or for storage, or by purging it from the system through the kidneys.Paula wrote:Does anyone know why it would make you pee a lot?

There is a practical limit on how much magnesium can be transported into cells for storage, and this relies on insulin. Insulin resistance or insufficient insulin limits the process. Purging large amounts of magnesium causes the kidneys to work harder, but as long as the kidneys are functioning properly no harm is done. If kidney function is compromised then a toxic blood level of magnesium will occur.
Excessive urination can also occur when magnesium intake is increased if too much calcium is present in the bloodstream. Too much calcium in the blood is not a good situation, but magnesium allows the body to remove the excess calcium (through the kidneys), so this can cause increased urination. But this is a good thing, because excess calcium in the blood can cause surprise cardiac events.
Therefore if excessive amounts of urine are being produced that's an indication that there is either too much calcium in the diet or too much magnesium is being ingested. Reducing calcium intake may help. Sometimes spacing the doses of magnesium out over the day can help, but if you are already doing that then it might be a good idea to reduce the dose slightly in order to find a "happy medium". ReMag is potent stuff because virtually all of it will be absorbed into the bloodstream. This makes it very easy to overdo it and have way too much magnesium in circulation in the blood.
I hope this is helpful.

Thank you Tex
Magnesium is also a detoxifier, so remember, when your getting this potent stuff it can also be taking out heavy metals and other toxins which can increase urination. As long as bowels are o.k. I would keep at it. I've had some contrast with flu like symptoms and headaches which were mild. Healing reactions associated with my level of toxicity. Don't be scared of it, after all it is just food. Just go slow, sip throughout the day and back down to lower dose if anything becomes bothersome. The real benefits didn't show up for me until about 8 weeks working my way up to 2 teaspoons. But I had a lot of symptoms of mag deficiency. Just about every symptom listed....

Interesting....I am on day 4 of using ReMag and I've been having the opposite reaction. Very little urinating for drinking this much water. I have been doing 1 to 1 1/2 tsp in 24 ounces of water with a bit of sea salt and splash of lime (to help with taste). I drink it over the course of an hour or two and then more plain water here and there throughout the day. I take a mag glycinate supplement at night and have all the oils, lotions that I use here and there. So maybe this means this water/mag is going where it needs to go. Who knows.
I'm not feeling any obvious benefit yet except I was doing interval running/walking on the treadmill today and it felt a lot easier. Enjoyable almost and that's not something I'd normally say. So maybe?
I'll keep on with it. I've now ordered it for my mom who has a slew and of issues including restless legs and muscle issues. Can't hurt.

Taia,
It sounds as though it's working quite well for you. And with those symptoms, your mom is surely magnesium deficient.
