Daniella, nothing you take by mouth is 100% absorbed. That calcium you use is only about 20-24% absorbed. When I give suggestions on the net, I have to be careful because I don't know your kidney function or anything else about you. So basically for a target for someone NOT SEEING a doctor 1/2 of the RDA for magnesium is a fair goal. Statistics have shown that to be a safe, useful target. For some drastic people who are very depleted that may be too low a target. If you follow your doctor's advice and take 10 tablets of your product that would be 1000mg of elemental mag or 2.5 times higher than the RDA which is between 350 and 400mg/aday. Your doctor is responsible for that recommendation. If you took 4 tablets a day, you would be at the RDA, assuming that all is absorbed, which it is not. That would vary from person to person depending on transit time and activity of the bowel.

--that is 400mg, but I know that all of that is not elemental, and that I only absorb a fraction of that. Nevertheless, it does seem to make a difference as to how often and severely I cramp (which I still tend to do during certain types of isometric stretches recommended for my hip and spine).
I also notice that if I go heavy on the beans (I love black, pinto, white, navy) this is improved as well (although there are the usual, musical side effects). |

I do almonds. 3 oz of almonds have 270 mg of Magnesium.
Also black beans when I make chili. (1/2 black 1/2 chili type) If you take Beano... the tooting is less. or nonexistant. Edit to add.... It just slipped my mind: Edamame beans are very good sources of magnesium AND potassium They have protein also. They are easy to fix (come cooked/frozen) and taste good. And NOT expensive.

Thanks Mrs D. You are always so helpfu. I am not going to take 10 but I guess will try the 4 since the bottle says take 2 two times a day so that seems safe.The docs never take responsibilty for mistakes to me anyway. I have never had edamame. Sounds interesting and I am going to try.
Shelly glad I made you laugh. That is the best medicine. |

Sometimes I just have a small serving of chicken, and those for dinner. Don't need anything else! They are very very nutritionally dense and satisfying..and provide alot of nutrients we don't get elsewhere. I put out the empty husks and the bunnies come and eat them...no left overs! (we have alot of wild life, opossums, bunnies, squirrels, raccoons, even deer sometimes, and groundhogs.) Keeps them off my plants too. I can't say enough about Edamame beans. They taste like butter, and have no beany or veggie consequences!
