Chemist, I have no idea about this Nature article, but omg, you got published in Nature?
Wow. Magnesium I've heard, but I've only bothered to take my 8-10 fish oil capsules a day for depression because of the Noregian studies and my docs all citing them emphatically.
Magesium I always dismissed as yet-another-supplement getting touted over the 'net.
My blood levels reveal perfect states of everything, and I take iron and B-100 supplements to ensure this due to existing defiencies otherwise.
So your study found elevated, beyond those found to be in the norm ranges, helpful in patients with ADD?
And what's this Calcium stuff? I do notice my bones seem like weaker feeling whenever I take Ritalin, Adderall, or Desoxyn. I know animal protein sources of calcium can usurp calcium from the bones, and my sister claims caffiene (stimulant-related reason?) does the same.
I am vegan, so I take calcium from plant-based proteins, thank god, since I'm not that ignorant, but I want your take on whether stimulants do actually take calcium from the bones or not, or if this sensation of weaker bones is in my head perhaps. Also, what dose of Mg did your conclusions advise? Do I just pop the typical dose of a magnesium supplement, like I do with low-dose Feosol for my iron?
