Which lines up closer to Dr Rhonda Patrick's Mg recommended types: https://www.foundmyfitness.com/episodes/best-magnesium-suppl…
While Dr Rhonda's content is worthwhile I reckon she may actually be the grownup 'Feral Kid' from Mad Max lol
😅
Chem warehouse half price is grossly exaggerated like most prices now so look around I got the Amazon ones last week for $10. https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B07NK8YH69?ref_=cm_sw_r_apan_dp…
No glycinate on this one though
Heavy Magnesium Oxide has an absorption rate of about 4%
Mg Citrate has 40%
Mg Glycinate 80+%
IIRC Chemist Warehouse was selling the 240tab version for just under $68 when last I checked .. so still a decent discount
LOL, the number of people self medicating with who knows what, because someone on a podcast said "people are xyz deficient" is an absolute boon for pharma and "health product" companies.
How many people get a blood test to check what they are actually deficient in and then try to correct it with proper eating first?
Dont think there is a blood test to find out magnesium deficiency. At-least never done by my GP.
I ate an iron rich diet for 18 months and still needed an infusion. How does that work? Well it turns out having half of your small intestine removed would do it.
Don't be so quick to assume everyone watches Dr Oz 😜 Some of us genuinely need multivitamins and all that.
Your case doesn't invalidate the parent comment as you are clearly not "self medicating with who knows what".
You can easily pick up a bottle expecting it to be good and not knowing what is really inside. As evident in this deal as some Magnesium supplements have better Magnesium than others.
Either way Flyerone does have a good point. You really need to be aware of what you're putting inside yourself.
Looks like you are in iron deficiency. When the reserves are low, you do need an infusion because the diet and supplements don't replenish quickly enough. Consider it a maintenance because body can only absorb a limited amount.
Correct. Complete removal of the duodenum and partial removal of the proximal jejunum means that iron absorption is difficult and an infusion is the most effective way of restoring the levels.
Just have to deal with a day of flu like symptoms unfortunately. Better than the alternative.
True. And the quality and sources for the vitamins matters I.e naturally occurring vs toxic crap from China/USA etc.
Although, bio hacking is a thing. It's just not accepted by the mainstream medical community.
For those who are physically active and lift weights then magnesium is needed for recovery and this particular one is better than most others on the market.
"Although, bio hacking is a thing. It's just not accepted by the mainstream medical community."
Neither was VitC as a cure for scurvy for 200 years after it was discovered to be. I don't put much stock in consensus opinions on pretty much anything any more. :) My advice is that if you are doing OK then keep doing what you're doing and if things go funny at some point look around for the answers.
I agree diet and a blood test should always come first.
But many are deficient in this key electrolyte & so can be a quick easy way to boost a critical area.
Consistently achieving the RDA for magnesium in an adult is not the easiest compared many other vitamins/minerals out there.
Also depending on the type of magnesium & there are many, it is a little gungho to assume they don't need something just because it's a supplement.
Magnesium Glycinate is great for people with stress &anxiety. Perhaps they're leading a stressful life?
It's also incredibly common to be taken before sleep to improve quality and longevity of it.
So when you say try proper eating? Not sure that's the way to go if you're stressed.
Very nice.
