I took a generic version of Slo Mag for a long time before switching to threonate to give it a try. Maybe I'll switch back and increase the amount...just to try.

One thing I've learned in this journey that you can ingest all the nutrient-rich food and supplements that you want, but if your body can't process and make use of them, it's pointless. I learned that with my biotinidase problem. I have low levels of the enzyme necessary to unbind biotin from protein sources. When tested, my biotin levels are fine, but without adequate levels of the enzyme, I couldn't make use of it. I have to take a supplement in a freely bioavailable form to circumvent the enzyme problem.

What if my body can't process magnesium, or calcium, or whatever? The levels show as normal, but it doesn't mean the proper processing is taking place. I can't help but wonder if something like that is going on.
