magnesium orotate- more info on safety

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone.

I made the original post regarding magnesium orotate.

I want to let everyone know that there are no known side effects to

taking magnesium orotate and it appears, by all studies so far, to

be nontoxic. Studies have found no know drug interactions as well.

It is being used in research studies at much higher amounts than we

are giving Craig. (He takes 400 mg. a day). Adults are now taking

8oo mg., even up to 1600.

However, as with any supplement or drug, you should discontinue use

immediately if you notice any negative effects. And, of course,

talking to your doctor is a good idea, as always.

I have heard that Dr. Haas in San Diego has begun to try

this supplement in his patients. It is helping some.

The information regarding magnesium orotate was shared by the

keynote speaker (Dr. Linnane) at the UMDF conference last

fall. If you decide to try it, I would appreciate it if you could

let me know the specific defect/symptoms the patient trying it has

and the specific benefits you see, if there are any. I am going to

contact Dr. Linnane with the information. He wants to raise money

for further studies of magnesium orotate specifically in

mitochondrial patients.

This supplement shows real promise. As with others, it will not help

all, but it's possible it could help a lot. Let me know, please.

God bless!
