So I'm running out of Magnesium and need to order more, but don't know which kind to get. Magnesium Malate gives me diarrhea even in super small doses, and some people on here say Magnesium Citrate isn't that good. What's that best type of magnesium supplement to take, as well as potential side effects or drawbacks?
I have been using "Doctor's Best" High Absorption 100% Chelated Magnesium. It is suppose to be one of the best to take. I purchased it on Amazon.com . FYI
@dplookin, how does Magnesium relate to treating peyronies?
-Thanks

Nothing whatsoever. This is OFF TOPIC.
Actually there's already been some threads on magnesium and its definitely relevant for Peyronies. I personally think my case of Peyronies, as well as some other people's, was caused or contributed to by a magnesium deficiency.
Dplookin, is this Doctor's Best Chilated Magnesium chalky and hard to swallow? The last chilated magnesium I bought was chalky and always got stuck in my throat trying to swallow it. What does "chilated" mean exactly? And is this simply Magnesium Citrate?
"Doctor's Best" Magnesium is not hard to swallow. It is Magnesium Glycinate. I once knew what "chelated" meant, but have forgotten. I had done a lot of research on supplements, and I found that this is one of the best for Magnesium.
Some of the reviews for that one said its hard to swallow and gets stuck in your throat looks like. I also don't know much about magnesium glycinate. After doing some research, NOW Foods Magnesium Citrate Powder looks like a pretty safe bet. NOW Foods is one of the few manufacturers to take carcinogens like titanium oxide out of their supplements while a lot of other supplement makers continue using these unsafe additives even after finding out they're unsafe.
Magnesium makes excellent light and strong wells for aircraft's and cars.
Difficult to swallow.

As a guy who swears by Magnesium I can tell you all that Mg citrate (and sulphate i.e. epsom salt)is possibly the most likely form to give you diarrhea. They give you Mg citrate to clean you out before a colonoscopy. The best form is Mg chloride. I have taken up to 600mg a day without problem. Its the form your body wants to see as that is what is in food.
I prefer to take my magnesium topically. Epsom salt baths work quite well. So does "magnesium oil" (Google it), which isn't really oil at all, but a saturated solution of Mag Chloride. (It's easy to make your own.)

I guess it has to do with whether or not inflammation is relevant to Peyronie's.
"Magnesium was rated as the most anti-inflammatory dietary factor in the Dietary Inflammatory index, which rated 42 common dietary constituents on their ability to reduce CRP levels based on human and animal experimental and observation data (Cavicchia et al. 2009)."
