Anyone know what type of magnesium is in ConcenTrace? I was thinking it would be Magnesium Chloride since it's from mineral salts, but don't quote me on that.
A complete list of minerals and trace minerals present in ConcenTrace®:
Antimony, Barium, Beryllium, Bismuth, Boron, Bromine, Cadmium, Calcium, Carbonate, Cerium, Cesium, Chloride, Chromium, Cobalt, Copper, Dysprosium, Erbium, Europium, Gadolinium, Gallium, Germanium, Gold, Hafnium, Holmium, Indium, Iodine, Iridium, Iron, Lanthanum, Lead, Lithium, Lutetium, Magnesium, Manganese, Molybdenum, Neodymium, Nickel, Niobium, Osmium, Palladium, Phosphorus, Platinum, Potassium, Praseodymium, Rhenium, Rhodium, Rubidium, Ruthenium, Samarium, Scandium, Selenium, Silicon, Silver, Sodium, Strontium, Sulfate/Sulfur, Tantalum, Tellurium, Terbium ,Thallium, Thorium, Thulium, Tin, Titanium, Tungsten, Vanadium, Ytterbium, Yttrium, Zinc, Zirconium, plus other naturally occurring trace minerals found in seawater.
This is the info off the ReMag websight: for thoes who may be interested in what ReMag is about. I am simply trying to point out that this is a different sort of magnesium product that does not entertain the usual symptomes of consuming an oral magnesium supplement such as stomach cramps or diarea.
As some of you see my attempts to inform the puplic about a new form of magnesium as a sales tactic that is unfortunate, but this is about a revolutionary new form of magnesium supplement that is absorbed imediately into the blood stream and does not go through the usual digestion process that other oral magnesium supplements do (which cause diarea and cramping) However Note: this magnesium supplement does not cause any diarea, yes you have to start out at a smaller dose then perhaps is recomended as there is a considerable sedative effect when taking this magnesium supplement. Because it is absorbed directly into the blood stream it goes to work imediately and not slowly like a magnesium supplement which must be digested. The sedative effect is much more noticable. The sedative effect will go away in about 10 days based on my experience with this product.
See below for more info about magnesium and ReMag: This is what Dr. Carolyn Dean has to say about magnesium and ReMag
Magnesium is a necessary cofactor for over 325 enzymes that perform vital metabolic functions in the body. It’s a simple mineral that prevents and treats
diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, migraines, heart disease, osteoporosis, anxiety, insomnia, and a dozen other serious health conditions.
I’ve just listed many chronic conditions that people are suffering today, yet has your doctor ever told you to take magnesium? Probably not. That’s because nutrient therapy is not taught in medical school. Magnesium is not regarded as a first-line therapeutic agent in hospitals or doctor’s offices and it’s not a patentable drug. For all these reasons, mainstream medicine remains blind to the extent of magnesium deficiency that is reported to be present in 70-80 percent of the population.
In the past few years physicists have determined that the mineral ion channels that are the gateways through which minerals enter cells are only 400-500 picometers in diameter.
Ion channels are composed of proteins that form pores through a cell membrane. These specialized proteins help establish and control the voltage traveling across the cell membranes by allowing ions to flow along a particular gradient. That may not make a lot of sense to you but these ion channels are crucial components of the membranes that surround all biological cells.
If minerals don’t properly get inside cells, because they are too large, then non-mineralized water floods into the cells and the large-sized minerals stay outside. All forms of edema, including brain edema, are caused by fluid and electrolyte imbalance at the cellular level.
Pico-Ionic minerals are small enough to directly enter into cells bringing the minerals where they are most needed. Inside the cell, minerals are responsible for the 70-90 millivolts of energy that creates intracellular communication.A body can only be as healthy as its cells.
Another important aspect about Pico-Ionic minerals is that people who suffer from IBS-diarrhea, Crohn’s and colitis can use Pico-Ionic magnesium without causing a laxative effect.
Magnesium has a wonderful failsafe mechanism that prevents it from building up in the body – the laxative effect. What’s not absorbed into the bloodstream and into the cells after a dose of magnesium goes through the kidneys into the urine and also through the intestines as loose stool. Some people find that any form of magnesium in pills or powder can cause an immediate laxative effect. This means you can’t get enough magnesium into your blood and cells to effectively fight your magnesium deficiency symptoms before it explodes out the other end!! Even the Pico-Ionic form of magnesium will cause this effect, but only ifyou take very large doses.
Pico-Ionic Magnesium
Magnesium chloride is the base mineral compound used to make ReMag. Magnesium chloride is a mineral salt crystal in its dry state and breaks down into magnesium ions and chloride ions when dissolved and dispersed in liquid. That’s usually all it takes to create ions. Ions only represent the electrical charge of a mineral.
The Pico-Ionic form is 50,000 ppm and comes in 8oz. bottles at an average daily dosage of 250mg per 4mls (1 tsp = 5 ml). This may seem to be a low dose, however, since it’s 100% absorbed at the cellular level, a smaller amount can go a long way.
There is a long glass dropper in each bottle of ReMag. You can use the dropper or take out the dropper and pour out the amount your want into a measuring spoon (½ tsp twice a day) and put it in a few ounces of water or juice or smoothies.
Warning: You can swish ReMag in an ounce of water around in your mouth for healthy gums – but only if you have no mercury fillings in your teeth.
As of 2012 there is a new magnesium supplement on the market (patented) called ReMag which I have been taking for more than a month now, It is an oral supplement, it does not cause diarea and is 100% absorbed.
http://www.rnadrops.info/products/remag it contains concentrace from the great salt lake as well as magnesium.

For the first time I have found a magnesium supplement that allows me to take an oral form of magnesium, which provides enough elemental magnesium to help replenish the magnesium stores in my body which has been leached out by the various meds I've been taking over the years, add into this my poor diet which has been primarily processed foods which in the processing of these foods removes as musch as 80% of the magnesium normally found in a particular food, And then you have the farming practices that have not replenished the trace minerals in the soils so as a result of these farms for profit the foods we eat today a deficeicient of magnesium this all adds up to a magnesium deficeiciency in the general population.
Also of note in this conversation the FDA Recomended Daily Allowance is based on an average of what everybody needs to stay healthy, but this RDA doesn't account for the fact that we are unable to absorb enough magnesium through a healthy diet to meet the RDA. It does'nt accout for the stress in our lives which leaches magnesium from our bodies or the drugs we take which are very stressful and leach out of our systems magnesium.
We all have seen the comercials on TV stating that Calcium builds strong bones but do you ever hear anything in main stream media about how magnesium is just as esential for making strong bones as calcium.
I did an imformal survey of the multivitamins available in 4 stores near where I live, Riteaid, walgreens, albertsons and safeway foods and in every case when I looked at the amounts and kind of magnesium and calcium that were listed on the label every single multivitamin used calcium carbonate and magnesium oxide both of these forms of calcium and magnesium are not well absorbed and are the cheepest forms of magnesium and calcium available. They are not doing us any favors here it's like eating chalk.
Even the cat and dog food we feed our loving pets most likely uses calcium carbonate and magnesium oxide, as most people never even think to look at the labels on these pet foods or even know what to look for, to see what ingredients are used all you have to do is look and you will see a label on the container of cat food or dog food.
We need to supplement out intake of magnesium as we are unable to obtain enough magnesium through our diets, Dr. Carolyn Dean has been studting magnesium for over 40 years, we have as a result of this magnesium deficeiciency we are experiencing many cronic diseases today.
Pharmaceutical drugs some of which have an active flouride component (prozac, paxil) when injested cause magnesium to flood the blood stream supposedly to detoxify the drug, as a result this magnesium in the blood is filtered out of our systems by our kidneys. We keep taking these drugs and over time all of our bodies stores of magnesium are depleted and then you begin to feel the drug side effect.
The pharmaceutical industry knows this as a resercher working for them explained this to them and they never told the public about this.
Much of the information above is in Dr. Carolyn Dean's book (the Magnesium Miracle) you can find it at amazon, because of the 100% absorbability of ReMag I am supplementing with ReMag 1000mg. magnesium a day with no ill effects (no diarea).
This has helped with my headaches, back pain, depression, anxiety, nerve pain from damaged nerves in the back and more.
I don't expect you to take my word for all of the above including the amount of ReMag I am taking daily, do your own research, read DR. Dean's book as mentioned above check out ReMag for yourself, please do your research read what other researchers are saying about magnesium. Check out Dr. Carolyn Dean's web sight, This is how we learn, Watch the Documentary
(The Marketing of Madness).
I am not a doctor, I have done a lot of reading (research) into magnesium, personally I was in extreme withdrawal while tapering off of gabapentin (prescribed for depression) I had been taking 2400 mg. gabapentin at bedtime for over 10 years, so much so I was convinced I would never be able to stop taking gabapentin I had tried for nearly a year to wean myself off of gabapentin with no success, my doctor was no help what so ever, she knew and didn't tell me about the potential for withdrawal while tapering off of gabapentin, she made no effort in any way of suggestions as to how I might lesson the severity of the withdrawal, finally
I realized I needed to do my own research into gabapentin withdrawal and began to read the gabapentin withdrawal forums, out of the hundreds of posts I read finelly someone mentioned they were able to use a magnesium supplement to help lesson the severity of the withdrawal and since I was desperate to stop taking gabapentin I tried a magnesium supplement which I allready had available in my home, Epsom Salts (magnesium sulfate) I allready knew that magnesium sulfate was infused in to the body through the skin while soaking in a solution or epsom salts so I began taking 2 -20 minuite soakes a day with about 3 cups of epsom salts in a ful bathtub of hot water, I added a 1/2 teaspoon of epsom salts to 4 oz. glass of water and swished the soulution around in my mouth like a mouth wash for about 15 seconds and then spit it out (don't swallow or you will get diarea) untill the solution was completely gone, I did this 4 times a day in addition to the 2 soakes as mentioned above and within 48 hours of initiating this home treatment my withdrawal symptomes were completely gone.
I wish you all well.
