Magnesium Succinate

[pone]

Ray Peat recommends the succinate form of magnesium for several applications including heavy metal detox. I have found many magnesiums that include succinate as one of a variety of forms, but none that are exclusively magnesium succinate. Does anyone know of a commercial brand of magnesium succinate that is a pure form?

This might be as close as you'll get...

Is magnesium succinate anyway similar to succinic acid?

Hi Pone, I don't think I've come across this from Peat - can you point to sources?

I think succinic acid + magnesium carbonate yields it...

Here you go, and ironically enough the person linking to the interview asked the same question I did:

Thanks Pone,
It's a little hard in that reference to tell what comes directly from Peat. Puzzling that it says citric acid is a good chelator - I thought Peat had described it as very problematic (cancer stimulant?) and to be avoided in other contexts.

citric acid from organic lemons is obviously different to the crap they put in sodas etc. i dont think naturally occuring citric acid is necessarily bad
