Improving Magnesium Absorption and Bioavailability
http://www.medinfosource.com/gt/g020208.html
"Studies have shown that between 6.9% and 11% of
hospitalized patients and 65% of patients in intensive care
units may have magnesium deficiency (Gullestad et al.,
1991-1992; Klein, 1994).
... Magnesium is absorbed primarily in the distal small
intestine, and healthy people absorb approximately 30% to 40%
of ingested magnesium (Knochel, 1991; White et al., 1992). ...
Magnesium citrate was significantly more soluble than
magnesium oxide in all levels of acid secretion, but
reprecipitation from magnesium oxide and magnesium citrate did
not occur when the hydrochloric acid was titrated to a pH
between 6 and 7, which is the pH of the distal small intestine
where magnesium anions are absorbed. ... The authors termed
bioavailability of oral magnesium lactate citrate
"satisfactory" and concluded that oral delivery of magnesium
supplements for six weeks may restore magnesium levels in
magnesium-deficient patients. ... Various investigators have
reported that magnesium L-lactate dihydrate, which is
available in a sustained-release formulation, ensures maximal
absorption in the distal small intestine."
