Magnesium Citrate

[Guest guest]

I just purchased Mag. Citrate the other day as I read a post here and

it said it was the best kind. Mine are by Solgar 400 mg. As it does

lower BP I was wondering do you think two would be ok considering I am

low in alot of minerals? Should I break it up and take on at lunch and

when with dinner. It says take with meals as better absorbed.

If it doesn't give you diarrhea, go for it. It is an individual thing. Most

of us are magnesium deficient so you can take it to bowel tolerance.

Magnesium promotes the absorption of other minerals. Usually the only problem

with

magnesium is the same as Vit C, you take it to bowel tolerance.

That gave me a good laugh. With mag cit my bowel tolerance is pretty

much zero. However for those who can take it, I've been told the

cheapest form is the liquid laxative.

I have discovered that when I take enough magnesium to lower my rapid heart beat

(at times 103 beats per minute), it gives me insomnia because it interferes with

calcium. Anybody have a solution to rapid heart beat that does not involve

magnesium?

Is it more like arrhythmias or constant? If it's arrhythmias, biotin

can help.

Linn, thanks for trying to help. It is not arrhythmias, in the sense that it

beats at a steady pace, but it is irregular in the sense it isn't going at that

speed 24/7, just sometimes and usually right after I've had my Armour. But I

know what going off the Armour does to me. I THINK it has slowed down some

during the months I've risked being on Armour again because I used to get

readings of 110 at wal-mart BP machine and now my highest reading there is 103.

and I am gambling my body will adapt to finally having sufficient quantities of

thyroid and slow down the rest of the way in time, before I have heart damage.

After all, I was 48 before what must have been a life time of hypothyroidism was

finally diagnosed. That's almost a century of my cardiac system learning to work

with too little, and now it has enough or a little too much. What a change! No

one in my family has ever had a heart attack so that's a good sign I might be

able to adapt. But no one in my family had their hypothyroidism diagnosed before

the 70's either and they were put on syncrap which my father probably didn't

even take.

Liz,

Was your pulse high before going on Armour? I find the pulse issue interesting,

it's one of

the things that I don't have, just the opposite, my pulse was really slow before

starting

Armour, usually in the low 60's, sometimes even the 50's, which is not good

either, it

definitely wasn't because of my athletic abilities. Now it's much better,

usually in the 70's

or low 80's, unless I'm working out.

One other thought, have your had your iron levels checked, anemia could be a

contributing factor.

I know you said that you have problems with magnesium. What types have you

tried and

how long did you take them. Are you taking statins?

You know I'm a big fan of enzymes, have you tried taking any systemic enzymes?

The high

pulse could also be a side effect of the BP meds (double edged sword).

VitalzymX has

been a huge help to me and has some pretty impressive stats for all kinds of

problems,

including heart problems, high BP, etc.

Hope you find something that helps.

I suggest you to check the serving size on the label. It might be 2 tablets for

400 mg.
