Magnesium citrate outperforms sodium phosphate
We explored the effectiveness of magnesium citrate versus sodium phosphate for bowel preparation before colonoscopy. In our study, which involved over 600 patients, we found that magnesium led to superior bowel cleansing when taken a day prior. Additionally, sodium phosphate, especially when split into doses, showed better cleansing results compared to when taken all at once.
Importantly, we noted that sodium phosphate was associated with a higher occurrence of rectosigmoid ulcers compared to magnesium. Overall, magnesium citrate appears to be a better option for those preparing for colonoscopy.

We examined how well magnesium-containing antacids work as a stress ulcer treatment in patients on mechanical ventilation. In a randomized controlled trial with 244 patients, we compared three treatment options: magnesium-based antacids, ranitidine, and sucralfate.
While we found that sucralfate significantly reduced the risk of late-onset pneumonia compared to the magnesium antacid and ranitidine, there was no significant difference in gastric bleeding or early-onset pneumonia. Overall, the magnesium treatment did not appear to offer added benefits in this context.

In our investigation, we closely examined the effects of a dietary supplement containing magnesium on gastric ulcers in finishing pigs. We used a structured approach, implementing a randomized complete block design with groups of barrows and gilts weighing around 86.5 kg. Our treatments varied, including a control group, a fasting treatment, and combinations of vitamin U and antacids.
The results were intriguing, particularly when it came to assessing the overall health of the pigs. We found that incorporating a treatment with vitamin U and magnesium led to heightened growth performance in one specific group. While there was a positive increase in body weight and daily gain, we observed no significant changes in carcass scores across the different treatments, nor did we see magnesium alone provide overwhelming benefits for gastric ulcers.
Overall, our study indicated that while magnesium seemed to support growth improvements, it did not significantly alleviate the severity of gastric ulcers when considered separately. It appears that the combination with vitamin U and antacids played a more critical role than magnesium on its own.

Reduces cramping
24 people found this helpful
I've been playing tennis for 6-7 hours on my days off and used to suffer from soreness. I bought magnesium to help, especially since I have a stomach ulcer. I started small and eventually increased my intake. It effectively relieved my soreness, and thankfully, I experienced no cramping, a welcome relief!

Eliminated joint pain
This Dr. Best Magnesium is crafted from quality materials. The tablet is not overly large and easy to swallow. It's very gentle on the stomach, aids in the production of stomach enzymes, and maintains mineral and hormone balance. Since I started taking it, joint and muscle pain have vanished, and my sleep has improved.

Sleep improvement
Excellent quality magnesium! It does not irritate the stomach, even with an ulcer. I experience no discomfort and sleep well. The quality is outstanding, and the packaging is convenient. The magnesium form is the best, and whilst the pill size isn't small, I have no trouble swallowing it. Sleep quality is evidently better.

Strengthens immune system
Good absorption of magnesium in this form! On the recommendation of an endocrinologist, I endorse this type as it is absorbed well. Magnesium is now essential for everyone during stressful periods. It bolsters the immune system, aids stress resistance, and supports the blood and intestinal walls in cases of gastritis and ulcers. I recommend it!

Noticed clear effects
Super effective! For the first time, I noticed a significant effect from taking magnesium despite having an ulcer and absorption issues. Even with little sleep, I feel in a great mood and no longer stress over trivial matters. I could not tolerate Russian magnesium at all; it had no effect on me. This one is excellent, recommended by a friend. The tablets are large, making them hard to swallow, but I can break them down. It's well-tolerated even with an unhealthy gastrointestinal tract, since I have an ulcer.

Calmness and relief

Great magnesium! I began taking it on November 1. I experienced no side effects; I have a stomach ulcer and take it right after meals. I feel much calmer and have forgotten about arrhythmia, or perhaps it's just me!
