Question
Hello.  I can't seem to find an organic food source magnesium other than standard process.  Can you help?  Thanks!

Answer
Hi Jeanette
The food source company I often recommend is New Chapter.  I know they make multis and a cal mag but I'm not sure if they make just a magnesium.  Another company is Rainbow Light, but I am less familiar with their products.  IF you can't find a food source version, I'd suggest you get a very absorbable form like magnesium citrate, perhaps in a powder or liquid form.  
Thanks for your question.  Good luck in your search.
