Guest guest Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 It is my understanding that Potassium and Magnesium need to be in balance in the body just like estrogen and progesterone. If you start taking mega doses (or even doses) of Magnesium might that create a potassium deficiency? Are any of you taking potassium with the magnesium and if so how much???
