    I have been taking the floradix liquid magnesium supplement for a few weeks to help me sleep a little better. I'm finding it very expensive but have been told that magnesium taken in liquid form is the optimum way the body can absorb the mineral. Has anyone taken a pill that works as well? I've seen that they are a little cheaper than the liquid, but if they are not as effective well it's a waste of money. Thanks.

    You can get it in a spray, it's supposed to absorb better that way. I got one cheap from iherb but that was before all this customs tax so don't know what it will cost ya now.

    Yes I saw the spray but that was more expensive than the liquid. I did hear the spray was very good though. Thanks Ant11.

    Cheapest way to get magnesium in is to make your own magnesium oil spray from magnesium chloride flakes and water. Flakes available in H&B. Recipe on wellnessmama ( for some reason I cant post the link) but just google it!

    they just dissolve in warm water, flakes from Amazon are dirt cheap, get a 500g bag for around the same price as a bottle of the spray. can probably make 5* the volume yourself.
