first read what
Ray Sahelian, M.D. Information on stearic acid safety and if you still want to find a magnesium stearate free product try
Thorne Research, Magnesium Aspartate, 90 Veggie Caps
SRP: $10.20 Our price: $9.18 (�5.72) from Iherb. Code WAB666 saves new IHERB users $5. I use IHERB because they are fast cheap and offer cheapest shipping to UK. You may find the same product cheaper from other sources depending on shipping cost to you.
They also do
Thorne Research, Magnesium Citrate, 90 Veggie Caps
SRP: $11.00 Our price: $9.90 (�6.17)
Looks as if the aspartate would be better absorbed but I've only checked this source, not sure how reliable it is
Should perhaps have mentioned magnesium oil and transdermal magnesium uptake, magnesium chloride or magnesium sulphate baths. You can buy 25kg bulk bags of both at sensible prices for using in bath. Swansons do magnesium oil at a reasonable price if you are lucky enough to live in USA.
the other idea would be to use
Ionic Magnesium If you drop that into the IHERB searchbar they have a good range at decent prices.
I've not used it myself but I've a poster on another forum who swears by it. She's pretty sensible and not prone to talk nonsense and she found it better (more immediate noticeable significant improvements) than any other form so obviously suits her. But we all vary.
I use
magensium bicarbonate water. and that is well absorbed and has no fillers.
