I started my new magnesium glycinate. They are 200mg for 2 tablets and say as magnesium bis-glycinate. I am working up right now to 10 a day the doc said. My ? is lets say I get to 8 and the diarea happens that is where I stay but is taking 800mg a day safe for a long period? Also is this magnesium glycinate absorbed as well as the slow mag? I have been spreading the magnesium glycinate out taking 1 at a time like one right when I wake then with breakast etc. Is it ok that I am taking the first on emty stomach?Also the kaprex I started taking which is suppose to be for pain and I researched it but it has little info of people who take it. I am not expecting much and it says 2 a day and so is this safe to take everyday 2 a day as well?Is there any issue with this making me worse or side effects? What I read no it may just do nothing but want the opinion of here cause you all have so much knowledge. Thank you

Well I stumbled across it when I was doing a search on supplements plus immune system. It was on some chiro's website.
And since I use a lot of the metagenic products which I have found to be very good I decided to read up more on it. I have a lot of pain from these things called prostaglandgins which cause pain and cramping. I over produce since I endometriosis. And Kaprex supposedly reduces PGE2 the prostaglandingins that cause pain. I would also suggest to you Borage oil which helps reduce PGE2 and increase PGE1 and 3 which help reduce pain. Let me know how it goes. |

There are actually 2 Metgenics Kaprex formulas. Regular Kaprex is for joint issues and the other one is Kaprex A1 and is for joint as well as autoimmune issues.
I have the regular Kaprex. Just started today. And I have to say it helped. My pain is apparently from the endometriosis. Well we will see. |

I guess will be the test bunnies cause it seems very little people have tried this when I looked up info. I wonder if it will take time like other supp though to really work. Or if it is more like a tylenol where it works like that cause what I read it says take every 4-6 hours. It a weird looking pill.
