JL,
Thanks again for your advice. You are a great source! (More comments interspersed below)

Right now I'm having a lot of trouble with diarrhea for several reasons (including stress) so I probably should go with the taurate version. OTOH, I have CFS and I will probably be starting on Cymbalta soon (which might change my system a lot) so it might behoove to me order the malate as well.> >I was looking on iHerb.com to order Mg taurate and I was surprised to see that they don't carry it at all.

I didn't know that Amazon carried vitamins and at good cost! Cardiovascula Research (CRI) is a great brand! Thanks for the info. I love iHerb.com and like that I can usually get everything I want there at a good price without paying for shipping, but looks like I need to go elsewhere in this case. I tried to get iHerb to carry CRI brand. They were looking into it but now I think I understand why they failed. I bet CRI has an exclusivity deal with Amazon - at least in terms of selling it at a discount.
