Guest guest Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 Dear all, Thinking of getting magnesium for my kid who is inattentive, figety/hyper and has a very confused mind. Bowel movement also no good, once in 3-4 days. Thinking of Kirkman Magnesium Glycinate. Any good ? What dosage for 43kg kid ? What are the side effects of giving too much magnesium ? Read that Kirkman Magnesium Glycinate may help chelate alumimium but I am not doing chelation. Should I still try Kirkman Magnesium Glycinate? Can I just give magnesium alone or must I also give calcium at the same time ? What dosage calcium ? Appreciate all feedback. Thanks in advance, Anne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to increase the magnesium levels, give the magnesium alone. Giving it with calcium, it will help in the absorption of the calcium and you won't have as much of the magnesium itself absorbed.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 Any magnesium is fine. We prefer epsom baths for magnesium needs, tho we like the magnesium " mixes " when upping it in a supp...it is not a chelator...can give it alone, and I would start at the 2-400mg range & move up, 800mg in a day in not uncommon (divided doses work best)...a search at moria's site or a look at the supplement file here at the group should help with figuring out what you want to do specifically. elizabeth > > Dear all, > I think my previous post did not get thru so I am re-posting. > I wish to try magesium on my child.

I read that magnesium glycinate is also for chelating aluminium but I am not doing chelation so should I choose this or other forms of magnesium (which type) ?
