A few years ago my daughter had breast cancer, and chose to use conventional cut/burn/poison therapy AND natural therapies to fight it. I had her taking quite a few supplements - some to fight the cancer, and others to deal with the harmful side effects of the chemo and radiation. During this time, she began to have some neuropathy symptoms - oversensitivity to touch, which quickly progressed to sharp shooting pains originating from her fingertips. Adding additional magnesium to her supplements quickly eliminated this.
I don't take many supplements, but Mg is one I do, as it helps us fight EMF damage by supporting body voltage and calcium metabolism. Mg threonate is promising as well, as even low-level EMF can cause our blood brain barrier to leak: https://romanshapoval.substack.com/p/matty
Excellent article! Where were you over a year or so ago when I was researching which magnesium my husband and I needed?! 🤣 Knowing we both probably needed a different one. I settled on Magtein for him and Bluebonnet's Magnesium, Potassium, and Bromeline. We take it with Vitamin C before bed as Magnesium is supposed to help with sleep and regular prescriptions in am and other supplements. Sometimes I don't know if any of the stuff we take is doing any good, but makes me feel better I'm trying! 🤷♀️
I'm surprised each gummy has 500 mg. This isn't my site nor my article on magnesium so I don't want to comment too much but 1-2 grams is a higher dose- which some people need but others do not- a lot of factors to consider. Additionally, as a nutritionist I will not recommend supplements via Amazon as there have been too many reports of counterfeit products. Support your local independent health food store first (if you have one nearby-so few left!)
It is extremely hard to get enough magnesium.from.the foods we eat because,the,soil.has been depleted. Because of,that nearly everyone needs to take a good magnesium supplement. A great little book to read is The Magnesium Miracle by Carolyn Dean. She gave a book to every member of Congress hoping to empress on them the importance of supplements over Big Pharma meds in treating many illness today. The lack of it is involved in much of poorhealth today!
I have been thinking for a long time that a study of infections and illness should be done comparing people who get flu and covid shots to people who take these three pairs of supplements daily. The first is d3 andk2. second is magnesium and C. Lastly, Zinc and Quercetin. I believe the d3 k2 alone would provide great protection, but the combination is one that many people are now taking on a regular basis and it would be easy to study.
Like any drug, you can develop tolerance. Supplements may act that way as they are usually synthetic. Perhaps magnesium is not what you really need.
Supplement companies market that 80% of the population is Mg deficient. Hair tissue mineral analysis confirms that was the case 20 years ago. Now it's common on HTMA to see Mg excess due to wide spread supplementation.
I take Pharma Nord's Magnesium which says it contains magnesium carbonate, magnesium hydroxide and magnesium acetate. You have not discussed these types - do you have any comments about them?

That's wonderful news! What type of magnesium did you use?
IIRC, it was magnesium citrate, but I think any chelated form would work well.
What a detailed and thorough article on magnesium. A good resource article for people to refer back to.

Magtein is the same as magnesium l threonate.
Yes as long as ingredients are good I buy whichever one is on sale. Even Natural Grocers you have to read the ingredients/preservatives like a hawk! 🙄
Thank-you, Doctor! This one I bought says 1000 mg. I will keep looking. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0CCRZPMCF?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image
Advice is more than welcome.

please be careful about d3...most comes from CHOLECALCIFEROL which is the new ingredient in DCON RAT POISON... not kidding
Any idea why magnesium glycinate seems to work for sleep for a time and then stops working after a few weeks?
Like any drug, you can develop tolerance. Supplements may act that way as they are usually synthetic. Perhaps magnesium is not what you really need.

Like anything, balance is required.
Where do you find the time?
Very grateful that you do.
I just ordered magnesium threonate gummies now from Amazon. Thank-you for the research and insights!
Gummies taste good but probably only contain tiny magnesium amounts.
Thanks! Just ordered this one with 2000mg also. I didn’t see any higher doses. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0CFS267GP/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?smid=A26QH5Y6I2X2RR&psc=1
