ISO!!!!!!! You are too funny. "A headband with wiggling antennae"? Good point:-) It's just the visual I got when I read all your reasons not to get a bracelet. As far as store brand supplements-I agree. My friend is an RN and she buys Walgreen's brand of "compare to Centrum" and it helped her just the same. It's all about the almighty dollar for some companies huh?! :-)
Anyway, interesting post.

Okay, my take on cal/mag supplements. First a bit of background info, somewhat useless & boring...
Do you know that studies have found that the less educated a person is (generalising), the more they buy expensive brand names? In other words, less educated people are more gullible to advertising hype. It was found that those with a better education were more likely to buy no name or cheaper brands! Education was only a gudieline on how knowledgeable folks were. A bright person without a high school diploma is just as likely.
SO... bearing that in mind, go to whatever drug store or Wal-Mart type store you shop at & ask for their store brand. Check out the labels to find what you need. Dozens of stores put out their own - all containing the same stuff. Did you know that there's a number of mega laboratories that manufacture these supplements for whoever asks them to & puts their labels on it? Same with stuff like ketchup, mustard, etc - big factories make them for the different compnaies putting different labels on them. Some have their own formulations they get the factories to use but still, the ingredients are the same.
Save your money to send me those antennae on a head band.
