Hi Debbie,

I appreciate the kind words. And I am glad you *finally* got the help that you

deserve -we all deserve.

Is the high dose mag-ox mean magnesium oxide? If so, you will have to take tons

of it - magnesium citrate malate is the best absorption kind.

Magnesium oxide is the most difficult form of magnesium to absorb, the most

likely to give you diarrhea, and it is also the cheapest, so that's what is

found in many magnesium supplements.

Magnesium citrate is significantly more absorbable and gentler on our gut.

Malate means that the magnesium citrate is complexed with malic acid, which

ushers the magnesium into the cell where it is needed, thus making each

milligram of magnesium more effective.

We can only absorb a certain amount of magnesium with each dose. If we exceed

the amount we are able to absorb we will absorb even less because of the

shortened gut transit time (the time it takes what you've swallowed to go

through your digestive tract from end to end), which should be at least 16

hours.

Frequent small doses work much better than a single dose of the same total

number of milligrams. Ordinarily the right times to take magnesium are three

times a day with meals. Some people will need to take four doses a day with the

fourth dose taken at bedtime.

Maybe the fibro and heart issues will lessen or even disappear once you get your

magnesium replenished.

The brands I trust are Nature's Way, Pure Encapsulations, Thorne Research,

Biotics Research and Nutricology. I also, have taken liquid magesium with some

improvement.

One last note, a friend was Dx'd with fibromyalgia, IBS, and Lupus. She suffered

from fatigue, insomnia, muscle/joint pain, muscle cramps/twitches, migraines,

and heart palpitations for over 15 years. After, I regulated my blood sugar with

magnesium, I encouraged her -actually begged and insisted- she take magnesium,

too. Witin a couple weeks most of her symptoms disappeared.

To wellness and keeping it,

I just purchased magnesium citrate -- hopefully it will help! Thank you for the

recommendation.

I have a couple of questions though:

1) Is 400 mg an ok dose? Or do Hashi people tend to need more?

2) I purchased Blue Bonnet. 2 pills equal the dose. I am taking one in the

morning and one in the evening -- is that preferable?

2) Do I have to avoid any vitamins or minerals if I am taking this?

Thanks so much!

Hi ,

Your plan looks good to me. Just beware that Mg citrate alone may give you loose

stools. Back-off it that occurs. Magnesium is best absorbed with meals. I do

not take calcium but the experts say if you do take calcium take magnesium 2-3

hours after the calcium for best absorption of both minerals. Consider buying

magnesium citrate malate in the future. I take 200 mg with breakfast, lunch and

dinner; I used to take it at breakfast and dinner. I feel much better now

though. Take what your body needs as this is highly individualized.

HTH,

Thanks again Bj!

If anyone could look over my vitamins that I am taking throughout the day and

make comments I would greatly appreciate it.

I am taking my thyroid pill early in the morning.

Then about 1 - 2 hours later I take:

-prenatal multi (three total daily is the dosage)

-prentatal DHA omega (two pills daily is the dose)

-one magnesium pill (two total daily)

-and 1 brazil nut (for selenium, three total daily)

Lunchtime I have another brazil nut and 1 more prenatal multivitamin.

Before bed I take

-the last prenatal multi

-the last prenatal omega dha

-sublingual b complex (1,000 mcg)

-Vitamin d

-magnesium

-Brazil nut

1) Am I missing anything?

2) I know people are taking sea salt. What is that for and should I consider it?

3) Is it ok to take the magnesium even though the multivitamin has 7.5% of the

daily calcium?

Thanks everyone. I am just trying to work through all of this!

I'm not sure what's in your prenatal, but they usually have iron and calcium,

both of which are a no-no near thyroid pills. You should wait 4 hours to be

safe. To keep it simple, I never take any vitamins in the morning. Night is

best, afternoon if you have to.
