HI,mrsD,THE question i have for today is if i grind up nuts to put in oatmeal
will the heat destroy any of the nutrients that i may need from them as i a have what is called highly resistant insulin problem as i take about 150u of LANTUS IN (2)INJECTIONS EACH DAY and about 40 to 50 u NOVOLOG as needed before each meal. Started B-12 (5000) A FEW DAYS ago METHYL type,multi-vitimin for seniors by puritan pride,DR put me on (5000)iu a day. I have a lot of leg cramps once in a while,that is why i was asking about putting ground up nuts in the oatmeal,any thoughts would be appreciated also coming up on 72 in a month,but i think i am going blind because i did not see old age sneaking up on me. Still have about 15pages to go before i am done magnesium post Last edited by WHYMEA; 06-23-2013 at 09:39 PM. Reason: more words |

If you are adding ground flax seeds to the oatmeal... it should be okay if the oatmeal is at a temp safe for eating. I would not add them while you are cooking it up. The Omega-3s in flax seeds, are heat sensitive.
Other nuts should be okay too. Almonds are especially good sources of magnesium, but cashews and peanuts have some. This link will show you what is in food and is very handy: http://nutritiondata.self.com/ The serving size each page represents is shown in the upper left of each page.

There should not be a problem of adding ground flaxseed in your oatmeal and then cooking it. Several sites I have read said that. Remember ground flaxseed can be added before baking to breads, pancakes, muffins you name it and they are all baked. I add it to my oatmeal before I make it. I also add it to cold cereal when I occasionally eat that. I eat oatmeal every morning and have done this forever just because I like it. A number of years ago is when I started adding ground flaxseed.

Thank you Kitt.... back when Omega-3/s were not understood well, there was the suggestion to avoid heat with them.
Since then some experiments have been done on whole flax seeds, and here is the link: http://whfoods.org/genpage.php?tname=dailytip&dbid=18

** and while now a day top brands are using glycinate as being the best absorbed and more recently also lysinate plus malate is being added apparently those along with glycinate renders it even more bio available ? or more soothing to the digestive system ? such as the one made by albion labs |

Welcome to NeuroTalk:
Post # 10 in this thread has the links explaining absorption of oral products. All oral magnesium has flaws. Some just more than others. Magnesium oxide does not ionize in GI tract so passes mostly thru to become a laxative. Phillips caplets contain this form and are advertised as a "gentle" overnight laxative. The magnesium stearate in vitamins is also inert and passes thru. Many people see stearate listed on labels and think they are getting magnesium, but they are not. Minerals can be blocked during absorption if certain drugs are taken. Acid blocking drugs for GERD, will reduce some magnesium absorption, for example. If you listen carefully to the commercials on TV, they even state that now. But for many years this was not understood well. Also if a person has Celiac or gluten intolerance magnesium will be poorly absorbed no matter what form it is in. Diuretics deplete magnesium and many drugs affect its utilization in some ways...hormone treatments, long term antibiotics (as in Lyme treatments), and steroid treatments will affect magnesium in the body. (this information is from Drug Induced Nutrient Depletion Handbook, by Pelton and LaValle, 2nd ed.) Personally I've been using magnesium in a new lotion called Morton's Epsom Lotion. This has been the best for me. It even reduces pain levels, and my hypertension. http://www.mortonsalt.com/for-your-h...-epsom-lotion/ This is still new but available inexpensively at WalMart and Amazon. I expect to see it at more sellers soon. It is just fabulous and I no longer take oral supplements myself. And I've reduced my hypertension medication from 3 to one small dose. It is really good for muscle strains, tendon problems, or nerve pain. When people have circulation issues, where the small blood vessels are constricted the topical works much better than oral. The mag in the blood really can't get to places, where circulation is impaired. Inflammation, for example, that is long term does this or oral is hampered whereas topical bypasses that issue. This is a long thread, and encompasses many years--since 2006. I put up scientific papers when I find them on PubMed...and so one has to read along to find those. Medical topics tend to have conflicting studies at times like most other medical information, so NOTHING is caste in stone with supplements, drugs, devices, or treatments. It has been relatively recent that studies on bioavailability have been done at all.

I have done a serious amount of searching to no avail and hope you can give me a clue. I find that magnesium citrate supplements knock me out. I get so groggy that I can't think, walk, or talk and I am seriously "hung over" all the next day. It is a very unpleasent sensation. I am trying to balance against potassium at the same time if that sheds any light.
