That was an interesting article, Mari. A PCP, years ago, told me I was deficient and I was taking supplements.

I have been tasking mag oxide 1000mg for chronic constipation...
Wonder if any of it is utilized in other ways?

maybe I need to take another supplement?

Magnesium is also very good for bones hurting. I try to remember to take for this.

i take chelated mag. oxide gives me the runs. i take 250mg tabs. it helps with my anxiety and sleep jerks. it doesnt completely get rid of them but it helps out a lot.

I tried to post this here, but I never saw it.

I'm big on grape seed ex and magnesium, these are my Big 2.

Oxide is your least best mag to take, work with mag glycinate or mag citrate as these will eliminate the "runs" issue. I take At Least 400mg mag citrate or glycinate daily.

Interesting that your link above showed that magnesium is a natural calcium
channel blocker -- which one of my meds does.

I've been studying magnesium for well over 10 yrs and hardly take any calcium and much much more magnesium. So many do end up with calcium deposits and have a lot of issues. I don't see conventional MD's and I wonder if they even talk about magnesium's importance for SO MUCH.

Back when I was in my early 50's I had two mammograms and the results showed all this calcification....and in those years I was taking calcium. I choose to NOT get mamms now. Have not since those two. I work with other "stuff" for breast health. OT but along the calcium lines.
