Comments on: Magnesium: A Must-Have Supplement for Your Heart and Bones http://www.annlouise.com/blog/2010/02/24/magnesium-a-must-have-supplement-for-your-heart-and-bones/ Sat, 11 Feb 2012 00:33:23 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Karen http://www.annlouise.com/blog/2010/02/24/magnesium-a-must-have-supplement-for-your-heart-and-bones/comment-page-1/#comment-3763 Karen Wed, 03 Mar 2010 23:11:14 +0000 http://www.annlouise.com/blog/?p=1762#comment-3763 The comments on this subject have been very informative and helpful. I have read that magnesium and calcium should be taken at separate times before. (Perhaps in The Miracle of Magnesium? It is an absolutely great book.) But I don't remember anyone saying how much time should elapse between taking magnesium and calcium. If anyone knows which of the two supplements is affected by taking them at the same time I would really love to know. Is fifteen minutes enough or longer?

I find it helps with constipation caused by medication I take. I was told not to take magnesium oxide and only magnesium citrate. I find it helps with constipation caused by medication I take.

Amy: Yes - you are so right ---magnesium is marvelous for anixiety, irritability, getting rid of excess copper, helping the body absorb calcium, and acting like a natural anti-depressant. It has been overshadowed for years by calcium - but no more! Check out my Female Multiple which contains a 2:1 ratio of magnesium to calcium. Years ago I heard the magnesium expert Dr. Mildred Selig speak and was blown away by all the research that supports more - not less - magnesium in people's diets. I think magnesium will someday have Vitamin D notoriety :) Cathy: Yes to your question.

Figure out which exact dose works for you. The calcium to magnesium ratio is not an exact science but more of an art - so to speak. Jodye: I take magnesium before bed and upon arising in the morning.

Cut back and see if that helps to figure out your best bowel tolerance. Lori: Sounds like too much magnesium to me. Cut back and see if that helps to figure out your best bowel tolerance.

Many people find great relaxation and relief of aching muscles with an Epsom Salts bath (magnesium sulfate). Magnesium- whether citrate, aspartate, or oxide has been found to be helpful for so many, especially when stress of any kind is involved. The oxide tends to work best as a laxative.

Is it okay to take Magnesium and Vit D together? I take 3,000 Vit D3 daily since I now live in Seattle. Thanks, Ann, for this article. Is it okay to take Magnesium and Vit D together?

It helps prevent both. We have to adjust the amount occasionally due to how much magnesium we are getting in our food. We can tell this by if we are suffering from constipation or the opposite. I really like the powder drink it taste like lemon-aid and is all natural made with Stevia. We do both have low blood pressure which is important due to my husband irregular heart beat.
