You can back down the dose if the " die off " symptoms are uncomfortable. But don't eliminate the vitamin C, just reduce it if required. >>Epsom salts taste horrible but am > thinking is the best choice. Most kids can absorb the mag thru the skin, so you can just increase the amount of salts in the bath and have her soak longer, and see if that works for your child. > Thinking ahead- When is the best time to take zinc?

I would start by taking it with breakfast, so you can determine if it causes nausea and/or hyper. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 >Hi April The epsom salt baths help detoxify the body of phenols and other toxins/chemicals. The magnesium sulfate cream would be helpful in the same manner, although I don't believe that it is quite as effective as a bath. I doubt that either would do the same as taking magnesium orally to address magnesium deficiency or constipation issues. Most children would still need an oral magnesium supplement. The zinc sulfate cream, I have heard, would be pretty well absorbed as part of the zinc supplementation and would also supply additional sulfate for assistance in detox. I do not have any experience with Oxi-powder, but I can tell you that my daughter only gets constipated when she has a yeast issue. When she has a yeast issue, NO amount of magnesium helps with the constipation until I address the yeast. And yes, most of our kids have yeast issues. Sheresa Hi everyone. > > I saw a post I am not sure if it was this group although your names look familiar so perhaps some of us are all on the same groups. Who knows. Anyways. > > This may sound silly, we do epsom salt baths for the magnesium but how do I know if they are working for him? I know they did the other day when he was constipated for 4 days! Following a salt bath we had a bad BM very constipated and condense. The density is the reason that doc suggested Oxy-powder. I'd like to talk to someone who has used it. It appears to have large concentration of magnesium which I am uncertain of. Does magnesium detox the body? > > Also I notice that Kirkmans has a magnesium and zinc lotion/cream (2 separate products) that they market. Would this be as effective as a supplement taken by mouth? I'm really afraid of doing anything until we get results on the stool analysis back. I just know its going to be yeast!

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 Hello, I have just started looking into supplements for my 5 year old son. Does anyone have any suggestions or can recommend where to begin? Basically I want to fill in the gaps in his diet as well as help with some minor behavior issues (attention, etc) Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Molly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Acetyl L-Carnitine (ALC) is one of the types of L-Carnitine (LC). LC is converted into ALC which enhances brain activity and it is the only carnitine that crosses the blood brain barrier and moves directly into the brain cells where it stimulates the mitochondria within the brain cells. ALC helps restore nerve function and assists with the conversion of carbohydrates to energy. Also, ALC, and not LC, protects the nervous system and the mitochondria. > > Could someone tell me the difference between Acetyl-L-Carnitine and L-Carnitine. How do you know which one to give?
