Hi Suzanne,

I can tell you that I've been taking 800 to 1200 mg of magnesium daily and my

serum levels are always slightly above range, but my RBC magnesium (cellular

level) was at the bottom of the range! I do buy high quality supplements so

because of this RBC result, I've decided to get the Ancient Minerals topical

magnesium.

However, one option might be to try the Albion chelated magnesium bisglycinate.

It's molecularly bound to glycine so the absorption is exellent. (It's even

patented.) Bluebonnet and Doctor's best both sell, both of which you can get for

get prices at. www.iherb.com

If you have never taken magnesium, don't go over 400 for a while or you may end

up with some bowel disturbances. But I would strive to get to at least 800 if

not 1000 and then test again in a month or so after you get to that dose.

Or you could just try the topical, too. Some people say it's expensive but it's

only $28 a bottle and I don't think you have to use that much.

I raised my RBC magnesium with the topical when NOTHING else worked.

just wondering what RBC magnesium means, and what the importance of magnesium

is...

muscle function? sorry to be clueless, i just have been blindly supplementing

and have done no research on the matter. my serum magnesium levels are 2.0

(1.6-2.6) and i have been taking 400mg of magnesium oxide twice a day. stay the

course?
