What is the big deal about ionic form?
Much has been made about taking mineral supplements. Then there is the idea that all things we take should be in natural form. When taking a mineral supplement such as magnesium aren’t we trying to get magnesium into our bodies? Obviously you would have to say yes. The next question that should be asked is, if magnesium is a mineral that comes from the earth or sea, is there a difference in the magnesium? There is no difference in the magnesium ion. There is only one type of magnesium and that is the metal, magnesium. Of course we are talking about the magnesium which the body uses. So, the question is not, is it organic or inorganic because there is only one type of magnesium and that is the metal. But the question should be, does it get absorbed or not get absorbed. This is where the ionic form comes in. Medical studies done at the Creighton University Medical School in Omaha, Nebraska prove that magnesium and calcium are absorbed in ionic form not in organic or non-organic form. The
