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.

Magnesium not effective for ulcers
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.

Magnesium impact on ulcers assessed
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.

My headaches have vanished, and my stomach ulcers have significantly improved. Additionally, I’ve noticed better sleep quality. I’m currently on my fifth refill, and my bowel movements have also enhanced. I would recommend this to my colleagues at work. Minerals are vital for daily bodily support.

Gentle on stomach
I have used this brand numerous times and malate for many years. It doesn’t upset my stomach, nor does it aggravate my stomach ulcer. A good product indeed.
