Hi zman --
Does she have to take the ionic kind? I take the capsule variety with no taste issues.
What brand is she taking? She might go for this one: [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Pure-Essence-Ionic-fizz-Magnesium-Raspberry/dp/B00014JONY or this one http://www.vitacost.com/Pure-Essence-Labs-Ionic-Fizz-Magnesium-Plus-Raspberry-Lemonade"]404 Looking for Something?[/ame]

She had brain surgery in July of 2010 to remove and non cancerous tumor. It went well but then 5 months later she had a tonic clonic which scared the crap out of us. She has been put on meds but we are educating our selves on a better approach. She has all the signs of low magnesium so I have read that Ionic is the best absorbed. She has started taking it daily along with a atkins diet. We are being told this should pass as her brain adjust to everything.
She complains that the liquid is nasty. Thanks for the input. I am going to check out the flavored stuff from amazon.

Just a
thought. There is a member here, RobinN, who uses ionic magnesium as well--both she and her daughter. She might have a few good ideas. If she doesn't pop in sometime soon (day or so), send her a PM. She'll answer you quickly.

There is a product called MagCalm which is either lemon flavor or raspberry/lemon flavored (natural flavors) that is sweetened with stevia. I think it tastes good. You make a warm drink out of it to dissolve the mag. You could let it cool if you prefer to drink it warm.
You can purchase it at health food stores.
