Guest guest Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 One addition, I read that mg taurate is also well absorbed and has some anxiety relieving effect. I read that mg chelated and liquid magnesium are also well absorbed.What do you think on that? I am also thinking to try mg chloride as it might help me with low stomach acidity. Thanks.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 Hi Nil, Mg-taurate is great , but expensive. Looks like you would want sedation so - Mg-glycinate and taurine.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Sorry, I'm going back a bit here. Does anyone use magnesium and taurine before bed to induce sleep and if so does it work - and at what amounts? Does anyone know of any evidence that the combination might induce or help to promote level 4 non-rem? Any info gratefully received.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 Hi Rosie - The only study on magnesium and slow wave sleep is here: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve & db=pubmed & dopt=Abstra\ ct & list_uids=12163983 It showed that it helped elderly people with slow wave sleep, but that includes both stage 3 and 4 of sleep. If you really want stage 4 sleep, have you tried xyrem? Few drugs or supplements can really affect stage 4 sleep (at least consistently). Note: A disruption of stage 4 sleep doesn't occur with everyone with fibromyalgia, nor is this problem specific to fibromyalgia.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 Hi Mark, Many thanks for this info, the report, though brief is very interesting. I 'only' have ME, not FM, but do suspect that my level 4 sleep is affected ( but don't have any positive proof of that). I haven't heard of Xyrem but will look it up. The annoying thing re the Magnesium is getting hold of a good source in the UK. Presumably the effervescent variety mentioned in the study is US product - I haven't noticed anything like that here, but being effervescent it would presumably get into the blood stream quicker at night than ordinary tablets.

A lot of people with that problem who have fibromyalgia, end up waking up consistently waking up in the middle of the night at least once.

The magnesium they used was simply magnesium oxide, which is not the best form, but is the cheapest. I don't know if the effervescent pills really make it any more easily absorbed. Personally, I take capsules rather than tables. Some people say that liquid forms work a lot better for them. IMHO, I don't think magnesium by itself is going to make a huge difference.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 Thanks for that. I did look up xyrem and didn't realize it was the date-rape drug. Judging by my response to everything I've taken so far which affects the brain, I think I'd better avoid it!

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 Hi Bonnie, I started taking magnesium for my " Raynaud's Disease " and for constipation. I take 600 mg. of Magnesium before breakfast and 600 before bed. It's best to take it without food. I use the citrate and oxide forms with no problems. It has helped both of these problems and it also has helped another problem that I didn't even know that it would help: For the last 20 yrs. or so when I went outside in the sun I would get an intense itchy rash a couple hrs. later so bad that I felt like taking a brush and scratchy it too death, I didn't do that but honey I sure felt like it. Over the yrs. it has gotten so bad that I couldn't even go out to my driveway just to say goodbye to someone without breaking out with this rash. I had to keep sunscreen right by my door reminding to apply it even if I was just going out for a couple of minutes. Talk about a pain in the neck. :-o But now since I started using the magnesium I have very little problems with that rash. I'm actually getting a little tan for the 1st time in my life this year because of the itchy problem being so much better. There may be other things that magnesium has helped me with, but these 3 are the ones that I can think of right now. Try finding the magnesium book at the library. It mentions that most people are deficient in magnesium and many problems are helped when the right amount is added. It also talks about the importance of taking enough other vitamins and minerals together so that you get the right balance. Love, Liz --- Hi Liz, I take extra magnesium, but I have absolutely no idea what the recommended dosages are. I take it (typically) in the citrate form -- somewhere I read that that's the best way to get it into your body -- true???? I would love to know how magnesium has helped you, how much you take, and what form you take. I'm afraid that it's one of those supplements that I read something about, was extremely impressed, but then never did a lot more research on..... Thanks for any and all information!

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 Bonnie, I take magnesium as a sup to go along with calcium and zinc... It's a good combo and recommended... I take 750 mgs at night with the cal and zinc. { I could and should probably up my dose} I've always been told to take it at night, but for the life of me, right now I can't remember the reason... I've also found out recently that mag with an 'ate' is the best way to take it... So the citrate is good... And again, I can't remember why...LOL I had a VERY long, hot and stressful day at the soup kitchen, so my brain is more fired than usual}... I don't think I added anything to what Liz said, but I thought I'd jump right in anyway Love ya... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 I take half in the morning, and half before bed (along with whatever is in my morning multi-vitamin/mineral tablet) -- wonder why the evening recommendation??? I am afraid to simply switch, since Mg has a laxative effect -- think that if there is a good reason, then I better do it slowly..... I've also been reading that zinc can help with memory, and my memory is pretty bad...so maybe I ought to add it. How much Zn do you take? Does it help you with memory (or did you never have a problem????). I absolutely hate to take " too many " pills, so I try to customize what I do take, so that there's only 5-8 tabs at any given time (I was once married to a man who took so many vitamins that he actually bought the powdered stuff and mixed it into water, and he would chug down handfuls [30-40] of them frequently throughout the day -- and he's in really bad physical shape now, the extra vitamins didn't help him (he's had a heart attack, several strokes, has impaired speech, walks with a cane or a walker, memory loss, and a huge " belly " region -- and his color is really dark, imagine it's connected to blood problems -- and he's my age, 61, with a strong genetic background -- I think he over-dosed himself into trouble). I'm afraid that his excessive vitamin indulgence (at the expense of feeding and clothing the kids!) got to be a really sore point with me, and I find I still don't want to " overdo " it - lol!

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 you are right to not want to overdue the vitamins and supplements. In the case of fat soluble vitamins you can actually poison yourself with scary results. In the case of water soluble vitamins taking to many is a waste of money your body can't hang on to it so it absorbs what it needs and flushes the rest. Just another reason to do your homework. Any vitamin you take find out wether it is fat or water soluble and then speak with a professional wither it be your physician, or herbalist. Or consult books, and find out what is recommended for your age, weight, and physical needs. This is just what I remember from a health class years ago. Hope it helps Mel > I take half in the morning, and half before bed (along with whatever is in my morning multi-vitamin/mineral tablet) -- wonder why the evening recommendation???

Interesting this cos I reintroduced s probiotics 2 weeks ago. Have started with Probio Gold because with all the problems with the excessive urination Dr Us office thot I should eliminate the likely causes (eg supplements) then go back to were we were when we saw her in March. So although ProBio Gold many think is crap (and I would have to agree since her first CDSA and OAT from March ) showed no good bacteria....!!!! We wanted to start again with this. Maybe it is having an effect this time ?!?! The other two things for us we have done are 1) ditched the daily movicol - scary move but the excessive urination now GONE yippee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And much happier, now a little less so because something is going on but what is it????/ 2) Since going LOD have let her have a little more fruit. She has only had bananas and pears for yonks. Had to ditch pearsas not low oxalate so have used last week watermelon. I do things for several days and this seemed fine. Also tried avocado again seemed ok. This week we have used some apple puree and also some mango puree we do our enzymes in these you see. Now LOD is scary because it has fruit which was a big no-no for yeast, phenols, salicylates and sugars .... However I thot, gotta embrace this fully if I'm going to try it. Am I going too fast do you reckon or too much fruit?? All comments much welcomed. TIA Caroline, Aberdeenshire x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 Butt scratching might be yeast. Lillian fldofdrms@...fjennings@... magnesium Hi, has been on the toilet periodically for the last two days. Heseems to be constipated.We have recently increased magnesium and started MB12. My bet ismagnesium and I am going to reduce the amount tomorrow to see if ithelps. He is also scratching his bottom a lot. Any ideas, it is notworms as far as I can see.Thanks,Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have just bought magnesium malate, also from Biocare. Is there a better one. >>>>>Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm Mag Chloride usually gives loose stools (been there yet another T Shirt) BUT iit is very interesting stuff - I fwd a post from Willis here a few weeks ago, spotted it maybe she saved it? About it helping immune system, I am sure it helps with gut bugs in my experience - not sure if that is just the liquid though?? I use Magnesium Glycinate from Kirkman and the Metabolics Ionic Mag Chloride - but not a lot - it tatses a bit. I am not helping here am I?

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 Hi Caroline So Mandi wanted to ask you with regards to the above did you think therefore that using the Culturelle was a good effect then or did you stop using it for this reason?? >>>We stopped using it - poor Sam was so distressed. I have used it since coz it cost heaps, but only 1/2 cap every other day if I think somethings brewing. When I ran out I didn't replace. Interesting this cos I reintroduced s probiotics 2 weeks ago.
