I'm SO sorry about that!
Just to make up for it, I've posted some roasted nut recipes on the nut thread and included one with Turmeric... seeing as everyone's been thinking about it here lately anyway. http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/sh...6138#post36138

great info!
Does anyone know if potassium is also helpful? I ask because it has benefits for lowering blood pressure, and I know there is a beneficial connection between antihypertensive meds and ts. Here's a bit of info: http://www.healthcastle.com/potassiu...pressure.shtml http://www.healthcastle.com/high-blo...ure-diet.shtml Seems the dietary recommendations are healthy regardless. See page 15 here > http:/e/www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/pub...h/new_dash.pdf Thanks all, |

mrsd, and others, has anyone tried the SHAKLEE brand OsteoMatrix supplement with Calcium Magnesium, Vitamin D etc? Its ingredients list says: Microcrystaline Cellulose, Hydroxypropl Methycellouse, Croscarmellose Sodium, Titanium Dioxide, Soy Lecithin, carnuba Wax. I used it for a while and then just forgot to take it. It is supposed to be a natural form?
Thanks, Gaye |

I looked up your product, and as usual Magnesium oxide is listed first under magnesium. When products do this, combine 3 types of magnesium they don't tell you how much of each you are getting.
here is a link to the label ingredients: https://www.shaklee.com/pws/library/...0681_label.pdf (use the magnifier in your tool bar to enlarge this PDF) The ingredient list contains the newer mix of support minerals for bone health. And be advised to read carefully...you have to take FOUR tablets to get what is on that label. Here is a monograph to read about safely using high dose calcium: http://www.drugdigest.org/DD/DVH/Use...Plus+D,00.html There are limits to absorption of calcium in the GI tract, so dividing up the tablets thruout the day may give you more effect. I suspect the elemental magnesium is low in this mixed product. Most mixtures use inexpensive mag oxide, and very little of the chelates. Chelated magnesium is typically a very large tablet, so size also enters into the decision.

You are absolutely right.
Potassium is very important, and when dieting, many people feel fatigue because they become low in potassium. V8 juice is very high in this, and I use it after a workout. (don't like the sodium, but when one sweats alot, it seems less harmful then!) Some people have low potassium too if they have a mild genetic renal tubular acidosis problem. Also having frequent diarrhea leads to potassium loss that way. Gatorade BTW is NOT a good source of potassium (this is often misunderstood). Thanks for the reminders and links. 1/2 of a cantaloupe has 1,400 milligrams BTW!

I've very much enjoyed reading through this thread. I also believe that magnesium supplementation can be extremely helpful for many people.
For those who might be interested, magnesium taurate is available through Amazon. The company that makes it is called Cardiovascular Research Ltd. |
