im sorry but i cant just put down my milk, as i hardly make alot of mucus anyways for some reason, i dont know if that is related to any type of illness-low mucus production, but i sure do sneeze from time to time-which I really enjoy for some reason- as I dont sneeze alot but when I do its kind of a release. wow or u can probably use lemon juice as the acid to get out the calcium magnesium for the bones.

ive recently purchased the ionic fizz and throughout the day Ive been drinking a large bottle of cold water(about a liter) with 2 capfuls of this stuff in it. I wonder how much hav u guys take a day? I feel like I can handle alot of this stuff, without getting loose. I love this fizz stuff it tastes great.

I suggest you read the directions on that jar of Ionic Fizz you bought.

It is to be mixed in warm water and after it completely dissolves, drunk all at once. If it is not used immediately it is to be refrigerated.

I would not use more than 2 scoops a day without doctor's supervision.
For many one scoop a day may be enough.

It does taste good, but you do not need to overdo it just because you like it.
You are not in a position to decide "how much you can handle"... this
statement is rather reckless IMO. Becoming "loose" is only one sign that magnesium is not being absorbed...you can still poison yourself if you don't get loose depending on your kidney functions.

When you decide to use ANY supplement you need to follow directions and understand what you are doing. That is why I provide links for you to read.(homework) So please do be careful.

right im ok i just had lapse in judgement, ive just read sites where people take 600 mg at one time and are fine. I def will follow the take it with warm water next time. and will not go over the recommended amount. but i do recall vitamin b12 not having any toxicity so I assume i can be more liberal with my vitamin b12 supplement.

Yes, you can be very liberal with methylcobalamin.

I found this new study on PubMed recently...and it is time to bump up this thread anyway

I found this interesting...but not unexpected. Magnesium + pyridoxine are both necessary for the proper conversion of essential fatty acids to long chain ones EPA and DHA. EPA then has anti-inflammatory effects on the body.

For humans I would not be keen on using aspartate salts. Aspartic acid is a neuroexcitatory amino acid like glutamate, and can raise pain levels. I don't know if that is true for rats. But the use of B6 with magnesium is common in many supplements.

I finally found the slow mag magnesium chloride so I will switch. It says take 2tablets daily is it best to split those up?

One in the morning and one at night. After a while you may find you
only need one a day (if you eat magnesium containing foods to help)

on foods providing magnesium. Time to bump this up, so here it goes:

A reminder:
When taking supplements of magnesium your target should be 1/2 of the RDA.
Assume that the other half is being provided by food.

If you make a good attempt at food choices daily, you could conceivably go without supplements. (unless you are depleting magnesium with drug therapies)

As the article points out, people with kidney disease need to be careful while using magnesium in supplement form.

If the bottle does not say how much elemental how do you know? Right now I am taking the 400 mg of magnesium glycinate. Is this a good amount for results?
