Guest guest Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 , Your intestinal distress could easily be caused by your new magnesium supplimentation. Magnesium sulfate (epsom salts) is an extremely common laxative. And other forms of magnesium with various brand names are also sold as laxatives. So, your supplementation is the likely cause of the distress. Deanna > My LLMD has prescribed two weeks of magnesium supplement before I start > on Levaquin.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 I know that magnesium must be given with certain supplements for good absorption of the supplements and it should be avaoided with certain other supplements but I cant remember the combinations. Can anyone point them out! Thanks in advance! Maya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is readily absorbed then how can a person maintain an equal level to calcium unless they are very cautious about the amount rubbed into the skin, and I wouldn't know how much of it relates to taking 300 mg twice a day by mouth that I recommend. Remember " more is not better " since taking one nutrient in higher levels throws off the balance of many other nutrients. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
