I've been experimenting with magnesium oxide because of it was rumored to be Peat-friendly. However, two quotes have surfaced that make me question that (thanks to Mittir for pointing this out):
So, is the rumored recommendation of magnesium oxide a mistake, or has anyone heard of him suggesting it in a specific context?
(source)Ray Peat said:"I don't recommend the oxide, because it's very poorly absorbed, but the carbonate is well absorbed. I don't recommend chemical supplements of magnesium, though, because they all contain some manufacturing impurities that can cause bowel inflammation, such as hemorrhoids.
(source)Ray Peat said:Magnesium oxide is likely to be mostly a laxative, since it isn't well absorbed.
