      Spot on, Allan. Thanks for the heads up. I love Dr. Axe’s articles. His site is often my first go-to source for information on natural approaches to health. Regarding high-magnesium foods, I’m on board with your wife about chocolate. In fact, every day I have a chunk or two (or three) of dark chocolate. Of course, I also hedge my bets with plenty of spinach and avocado. Today I will start experimenting with a new supply of Mg-malate. I’m looking to reduce my nighttime leg cramps. Now if we could just find a high-magnesium beer!

      All the best,
      Dennis

    Sounds too good to be true! Oh wait, it probably is. A) it is patented and they’re making a lot of money on it. And B) Refer to your article circa January 2017, “Veggie Cap Crap.” It is packaged in vegetable cellulose along with microcrystalline cellulose, stearic acid, silica & vegetable stearate. Even if I did what you suggested in the article and dumped it out into a glass of water or juice I would still be getting all the other “extra’s” packed inside. Sadly, there’s no way to separate them out. The magnesium may be helping my brain, but what are daily intakes of the other ingredients doing to me? Just food for thought. 🙁

      And excellent food the thought it is, Robin. Yes, I wrestle with those same issues. One solution I found was a powdered version. Unfortunately, it was so heavily sweetened and flavored that I had a hard time choking it down, even when mixed with other things I emptied out of their capsules. Of course, ultimately the best supplement “packages” are their whole food sources. And, as you know, that comes with its own issues. What a life, eh?

      Cheers,
      Dennis
