Best tolerated magnesium I've tried
So PCP are worthless anymore and overpaid. I have been complaining for a long time that I don't absorb potassium well and have a lot of issues with that and think I need magnesium and not one of them suggested chelated magnesium glycinate to me. Most insurances only cover citrate or oxide, so PCPs only seen to know what pharma meds to push on us... I brought up to my PCP that I didn't tolerate oxide well. Her suggestion was to take it at bedtime! Which then has me running to the bathroom at 2:30 am. And when you wear a CPAP mask also, that becomes really upsetting. Plus how can I absorb potassium better if I'm constantly depleted of it from IBS?I then found out from a Facebook Reel about the other forms of magnesium that my PCP didn't tell me to try. She just gave up and didn't care. Did her bare minimum. I tried out magnesium l-threonate and it did great, but if I missed a day I had bad withdrawal symptoms. Come to find out that the dose was way too high. So I had to withdrawal from it and stop taking because most of the L-threonate comes in doses higher than what you're supposed to have daily.Point being I finally got to trying out magnesium glycinate. I tried regular ones first and I was still getting muscle cramps in my feet and my blood pressure wasn't regulating well. Once I switched to this chelated type my BP has been getting lower and lower along with taking a daily potassium supplement that has a little extra magnesium oxide in it as well. I might be able to eventually get off BP meds with eating low histamine and taking the magnesium and potassium daily. Sad thing is PCPs won't tell you about this. They only know how to push the money makers for them onto you that have bad side effects. Especially when used long term.These are a bit bigger than I'm used to, but I seen to swallow them fine in the morning. I even use a CPAP machine at night so have dry mouth in the am when I take my meds and I'm fine. But you could always use a pill cutter to cut into halves to help.Ver másVer menos
