Re: magnesium causing severe brainfog

[Guest guest]

Hi Steve --

Really sorry to hear you've been having trouble with magnesium. My SO and I

have been reading over and over how important magnesium is in so many body

systems. In addition to melatonin, I'm taking 4 Tablespoons of a

calcium/magnesium liquid twice a day. I haven't noticed additional brain

fog, and if anything, I seem to be feeling a bit better after four days.

Perhaps the type of magnesium matters, and when you take it is relative to

eating. I try to stay at least 1/2 hour away from meals with mine. As to

the type, my label says:

Magnesium (from Magnesium Hydroxide, Carbonate) 300mg

Calcium (from Tri-Calcium Phosphate, Citrate, Lactate, Glucconate 600mg

Phosphorus (from Tri-calcium Phosphate

600mg

So again, I'm taking 4 Tablespoons of this twice a day and I'm not noticing

additional problems. Do have a look at your label and see what the source

of the magnesium is, and what else is in there. That might give us all a

good clue.

Best wishes,

Fred / Oregon

Does it have magnesium stearate as filler? It may cause this. Try one

without it.

Magnesium supplementation isn't for everyone. Yes, it could be due to other

ingredientns

in the supplement, but if you have a slow heartbeat, you may actually need more

calcium

and less magnesium, as calcium helps muscle contraction, while magnesium slows

it

down. Perhaps the magnesium is slowing your heart rate, and thus reducing your

blood

flow?

If I were taking it, I may stop it for 3-4 days then try it again...see if you

get the same

reaction.

Just my two cents...

No magnesium stearate. It is magnesium glycinate. And it knocked me

out!

Or replace your magnesium with magnesium citrate instead. You could

be reacting to the amino acid contained in the chelated form, as

some people have reported that.

Studies that I've read show that citrate is well absorbed.

I mean the filler mag stearate.

What is the Magnesium chelated to? THat may provide the answer. And, in

part that is why I do not use chelates

Hi everyone,

For just over a week now I've added a couple things to my regime of

supplements. I have been successfully taking immunopro for nearly a

month, and have recently added: neuro B12, a chelated Magnesium, and

C. I've been feeling way worse since starting these new things.

Yesterday, I forgot to take my magnesium in the morning and felt

relatively great all day. Today, feeling good this morning, I took

200mg at lunch (with some C but no B12) to assess my reaction. Within

two hours, severe brain fog and utter exhaustion, which have lasted

all day and have me bedridden... I feel like I did when I first got

sick with this seven years ago. I have read repeatedly that magnesium

is meant to help with brainfog and fatigue, not cause it!

Any suggestions/Any su

Thanks so much,

Steve

How do you think you are going to correct a Ca/Mg imbalance by adding more

Ca?

Just stop taking magnesium. Immunepro is very powerful stuff on it's

own. Additionally, just add one supplements at a time so you can

evaluate each one individually.

I would like more info. on the neuro B12. I guess you take that

orally?
