Guest guest Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 This can also be caused by too little mag, my arrhythmias resolved after starting mag.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 it is always advised to take mg up to bowel tolerance. but what about ca? do you also increase your ca as you increase mg..i did take mg for long term in big amounts without increasing my ca dosage and i am not sure at this moment if it was right thing to do. bw Nil Re: What's enough mag? .....

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 , At night, I take the mag/glycinate tablets and put them in a liter of water. By the next day, after a few shakes, the tablets are dissolved and drink the water. I also chew a tablet up and swallow with kefir at times. Of course, I use a different brand than you do. I use the Kal brand of mag/glycinate. But, theses two methods might work for your brand also.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 MOST people with hypothyoridism are low in magnesium. to correct that oyu need ot take JUST magnesium. Taking calcium and magnesium does nto work,. If you are in doubt about how much you are taking order a lab to see where lyour levels of calcium and magnesium are. Guessing is juts that. https://orders.directlabs.com/dl-locator/order_tests.aspx Magnesium $39 and Calcium spot urine $39 -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 I did split at first to make sure that I could take the whole 400mg. The problems with that are that even split in half they're huge, the halves have jagged edges (guess I could sand them down) and, most importantly, with a pretty faulty digestive system, I'm not sure that I'm getting much benefit from the hard pills. With that said, the " bowel tolerance " issue might have come up this morning b/c things were, shall we say, not very solid. Sorry for TMI. I would still prefer caps to these horse pills, whether they're working or not. > > > > I got the mag/glycinate after the discussion here about the most > > absorbable and well tolerated although someone else noted that > > mag/taurinate would be another one after I ordered it.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 If having trouble gettign enough magnesium due to digestion issues, you cna always take an Epsom Salt bath. Epsom salts are magnesium and it absorbs fairly well in a well salted bath, I use abotu 2 bups and as hot a water as I cna tolerate withotu gettign diozzy when I get out. which your adrneal status will determine. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Thanks Pamela. I'm reconsidering all of my mag options again. I'm supposed to take the mag at night so maybe I'll try dissolving one in water tomorrow AM and see what state it's in by bed-time. If I'm going to drink it though, the Natural Calm seems like not a bad way to go.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 My mag citrate pills are huge too, so I imagine splitting them wouldn't help much. Maybe the powder that people have mentioned is worth a try! I don't especially like swallowing my horse pill mag caps either, so maybe I'll make the switch too! > > > > , > > Could you try splitting the magnesium tablets to make them easier to > > swallow? > > > > Just a thought... > > > > Kirsten > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
