Re: Magnesium orotate

 

Where are you getting you magnesium orotate?

 

 

Hi John. I have a small home based business and so I buy it wholesale. The

brand is Atrium and is generally sold to Naturopaths, but some health food

stores do carry it. I noticed Pam mentioned a sale on Kal's brand. I have not

used theirs. I had it recommended to me several times in years past, but

everytime I went to check it out, it turned out to be asporotate, and not really

orotate. Perhaps they have orotates for real now.

 

For comparison shopping. the Atrium brand is 500 mgs a tab and one a day is

recommended, of course this assumes you are doing calcium also, since neither

should be taken alone, long term. And the retail price is $14. for 100 tabs.

So that makes it less than $5 a month, which seems reasonable to me.

 

When looking into the KAL brand, make sure it is actually orotate and then find

out how many you are supposed to take a day. If one a day is recommended and it

is actually orotate, then it is indeed an excellent price.

 

The best quality orotate I have ever used was made by the person who

" discovered/invented " orotates. Dr. Hans Nieper. But then the FDA chased him

out of the US and I had to buy from him in Germany and it was just too much of a

struggle, getting stuff through customs, etc. Then I found Atrium and so far

have found it to be, not as good as Niepers brand, but better than any others I

have used so far. And, as I said, I haven't used KAL's brand.

 

Hope that helps.
