Notes:
*Magnesium oxide, the most commonly sold form of magnesium, is only 4% absorbed and is virtually worthless. Source: Magnesium Research 14: 257-62, 2001.
**Vitamin C is rapidly excreted in urine. Effect may be greater with repeated dosing throughout the day.
***Quercetin dose is exceedingly high and is not recommended for daily use.
**** 4 capsules of Kyolic high potency formula providing 2.4 mg of active ingredient S-allylcysteine was used. This might cost ~40-50-cents/day. Buffered garlic yields more active ingredient and fewer capsules would be needed. See http://www.garlicbreakthrough.com
