Guest guest Posted March 1, 2002 Report Share Posted March 1, 2002 Hi all! I'm doing well, but have a question about Zinc/Magnesium suplimentation. (sp?) It was suggested to me to start taking, " ZMA Fuel, " when I last saw Dr. R. last September. (Okay... it was **strongly** suggested. I'm just so dadgum stubborn. LOL) Well... I've *finally* decided to start taking Zinc and Mag. When I bought ZMA fuel in preparation for after my MGB it was very easy to find at Wal-Mart, GNC, and almost every grocery and drug store here. Unfortunately ZMA-Fuel is impossible to find in this (Portland, OR/Vancouver, WA) area any more. I want to pick the brain of the group as to how many milligrams of each I should consider taking... or working up to taking. I bought some " calcium citrate 800 " that contains 100mg of Magnesium in addition to the vitamin D in it. I guess I'm wondering if this is enough Mag., and how much Zinc to start with/work up to. (I remember some folks having bad experiences with starting out with higher doses of zinc, and wish to avoid those problems myself.) I appriciate any input and suggestions in this area. THANKS in advance, Jenn in PDX MGB 11-1-00 #300, BMI 48 1-31-02 #171, BMI 27 ******Finally a SIZE 10 in Jeans!!****** *****Sm/Med shirts... unbelievable!***** (Personal note: 169 was my lowest adult weight, first achieved in 1986. This adult low, " disappeared " after only a few days. UGH!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
