Guest guest Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 I checked my magnesium and it is low 1.6 so I'd like to supplement. I've tried the magnesium oil but got a rash from it. Is there a preferred kind of magnesium supplement? How long does it take to get magnesium into normal range? My low magnesium has got me thinking I may be low in copper or zinc, etc. Next time I go to my doc I will ask for labwork that includes zinc and copper and any other ideas I may get here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 I hope you don't mine me jumping in here I just started using magnesium oil and I get a rash as well. I have been applying it twice a day and rinsing it off but while it's on it burns. Does diluting it 50/50 cut down on it's effectiveness?

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 I tried to " square up the equation " by applying the diluted magnesium to twice as much skin area as I had been applying the full-strength. Seems to be working as far as I can tell. > > > > > > I checked my magnesium and it is low 1.6 so I'd like to supplement.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Okay. great, then I'll try this. I apply it to everywhere but my face and then shower off 30-40 minutes later. I can't stand the feeling of it on my skin. I tried to "square up the equation" by applying the diluted magnesium to twice as much skin area as I had been applying the full-strength.
