In reply to a few questions about magnesium, posted by saturn on November 29, 2006, at 21:12:28
Hi Saturn
As I mentioned in my discovery post, I have also tried mag alot in the past.
However it never worked for me though I knew the science of it is good... I couldn't understand why it didn't have an effect.
I tried all different types, and clacium ratios, and nothing seemed to do anything, but give me diarrheoa!
It was not until last night that I realised that there needs to be a "helper" to get it into the brain and that acetly - l carnitine would be ideal.
It works! I'm at my third dose and the relief is profound. However I can't tell you if this will poop out, at the moment I am getting additive effects with each dose.
When bound in a chelate the actual dose of Mg is much smaller than listed on the bottle. In my 800 mgs Mag Orotate there is only 52mg of elemental magnesium. So no matter the form I don't think you need to overdo it - just take it WITH acetyl l carnitine.
Cheers
aeon
