The Rejuvenation Mineral
In addition to its anti-microbial and immune-stimulating properties,
both magnesium as well as chloride have other important functions in
keeping us young and healthy. Chloride, of course, is required to
produce a large quantity of gastric acid each day and is also needed to
stimulate starch-digesting enzymes. Magnesium is the mineral of
rejuvenation and prevents the calcification of our organs and tissues
that is characteristic of the old-age related degeneration of our body.
Using other magnesium salts is less advantageous because these have to
be converted into chlorides in the body anyway. We may use magnesium as
oxide or carbonate but then we need to produce additional hydrochloric
acid to absorb them. Many aging individuals, especially with chronic
diseases who desperately need more magnesium cannot produce sufficient
hydrochloric acid and then cannot absorb the oxide or carbonate. Epsom
salt is magnesium sulphate. It is soluble but not well absorbed and
acts mainly as a laxative. Chelated magnesium is well absorbed but much
more expensive and lacks the beneficial contribution of the chloride
ions. Orotates are good but very expensive for the amount of magnesium
that they provide and both orotates and chelates seem to lack the
infection-fighting potential of the magnesium chloride.

I don't really know if this is true but it sounds plausible. The rest
of the article has lots of amazing information about Magnesium
Chloride.

I was asking for the difference between
magnesium oxide and magnesium chloride ,
then S-Max mentioned Magnesium Orotate !
I'm more confused now than before !
Does it REALLY matter which one I should be ingesting ?
