Has anyone else been diagnosed with low Magnesium?

[Guest guest]

I'm not on 400 3x a day. Best price/deal was Puritsn 500's -100 per bottle, so I

will end up 1000 a day instead of 1200 (or going over by 300)

Anyone else have similar problems?

Thanks

,

I am not sure what your posting about, your talking about some thing you posted

about but you did not add this to the first post.

Are you saying your doing 400 IU's of HC 3 x's day.

I use ZMA (Zinc monomethionine aspartate and Magnesium Aspartate) I buy the NOW

brand and find this keep my levels up.

My last set of labs my Magnesium was 2.1 top of range is 2.5 mg/dl.

And to keep my Copper levels up I take 2 mgs at noon.

I haven't been diagnosed as low, but take 600 mg per day to help a bit with

blood pressure. I'm curious how you were diagnosed. Was it the usual blood

chemistry test, or something else?

The problem with taking lots of magnesium is that it tends to give you diarrhea.

I've found that magnesium glycinate does not cause that problem, and is reported

to be very well absorbed.

When I saw my Endocrinologist on Monday se mentioned my BP is up (and seems to

at all my doctors despite my BP med). Since I'm good in other areaa (T/E,

Thyroid). She did other checks this quarter and as soon as she saw the magnesium

was low she understood why my BP has been elevate. She has me on Magnesium

Oxide.

I had my mag tested in December.  You need to test via blood labs and get the

RBC Magnesium.  The level is 4.0-6.4.   I tested at 4.7 so I started using

some SR Magnesium supplement as was suggested by a couple of ladies on another

forum.  I will be retesting in a couple of weeks but I can tell that it has

already regulated my system a bit.   This certain product does not cause the

usual diarrhea that most do...it is SR so very slow acting.   The brand is

Jigsaw.    Magnesium W/SR.  I take only two tablets daily.  The suggested

dose is 4 tablets.  I am using mine by bowel tolerance.

, are you testing your blood pressure at home? It often goes up at the

doctor's office. It's called white coat syndrome.

Another thing to look at when blood pressure is up is potassium. It may be

in the range, but where in the range is it? Testing RBC potassium will

indicate status better.
