Re: QUIESTION ABOUT VITAMIN E

[Guest guest]

You are correct the magnesium used in pre term labor (ex

labor.delivery nurse) is sulfate form, and actually magnessium

sulfate prevents seizure in eclampsia/that is one of the reasons it

is given.

http://www.mgwater.com/ a pretty comprehensive site on overall mag

benefits. Magnesium is calming, does not induce excitation as opposed

to calcium, calcium can be excitatory to brain. why calcium channel

blocker meds are used as anti seizure.

Actually, the mag used for preterm labor is magnesium sulfate, not magnesium

citrate. (believe me, I know......3 course of it. Yech!). So I'm not sure

she's talking about the same thing.

Calcium channel blockers have a long list interactions -- magnesium

is one of them.
