Re: Re: magnesium deficiency

A serum magnesium test if very unreliable though claiming lots of people to be

fine when in fact they are very deficient in magnesium. You learn this from all

the good docs like Dr. Sherry .

Re: magnesium deficiency

I found out through blood test. My doc said mine was EXTREMELY LOW.

he said that selenium and zinc arent accurate through blood, never

said mag wasn't. It was a simple blood serum test. Now, Im ordered to

try milk of mag every night to raise it. I've never had any prominent

symtpoms except an eye twitching once in a while(which could be hypo

adrenal or thyroid too), and some shakiness inside. My limbs have

never really twitched, like they say would happen with low mag.

I read somewhere too, that hypothyroidism causes you to be low in ALL

of your minerals.

Slow mag is a viable alternative as well. And if you take L-Taurine with it,

that helps magnesium absorption .

I have no reference for this, just my magnesium level that was in the basement

until I added L-Taurine 1000mg with my evening dose of Slow Mag. Within a week,

my mag level came into the normal range and has stayed there.

I haven't had mine tested but I'm sure I'm deficent in that as well. I don't

know how I'm going to supplement for it though. I had a sample of the

Natural Calm and tried half of the packet and was up half the night going to

the bathroom. This could have been a coincicdence, so I'm going to try the

other half of the packet at some point. I just have to make sure I'll be at

home for the day and uninteruppted just in case. :-) So what are other

options for supplementing magnesium if it causes problems?

enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright
