Need to start back with Magnesium supplements

BetsyDoodle — Sat, 28 Oct 2017 00:21:30 GMT

Which one of these Andrew Lessman supplements would you recommend? I need the magnesium, used to take it and stopped, now I can tell I need to start again. I know I could also stand to supplement calcium, but want to know opinions from anyone who has taken either one of these---- Magnesium Intensive Care or Ultimate Calcium-Magnesium Intensive Care. Would like to know if the calcium upset your system etc.

Thanks!

Self-diagnosing your need for supplements can be dangerous. Before taking anything you should have a blood panel done by your doctor to determine what your deficits are, if any.

@BetsyDoodle if you need both, get the one with both of them in it. I'm thinking there is a post from @bebe777 on here somewhere, I think you need one to help the other absorb completely. Sorry I don't exactly remember. You can also call procaps CS. The special price is only good for October. If I find her post I will pull it up on here.

BetsyDoodle, I am curious why .... what did you find? The reason I ask--I was taking Natural Calm plus Calcium -- recommended by someone here -- then stopped and started Fiber Benefits (Andrew's). Need the fiber more than the other. Now, my nails aren't great, just thought I might go back to have the Calm in addition to the Fiber. That is why I am curious as to what you found. The Calm also has Magnesuim....

It was my doctor that recommended the supplements to me a few years back. I took them and then through all the hustle and bustle of life I stopped. She just recommended I start them again. She recommended either one of Andrew's products, i just wanted to know if his calcium is hard on your system like some other calcium supplements.

For me, my doctor recommended it to me to keep help with my regularity, and to help relax muscles, mainly my legs. She found I was lacking magnesium through tests and it caused my muscles to not "relax" all the way and kept me up at night. The calcium and other bone helping ingredients in the magnesium and calcium supplement will help my bones. My mom and sister have osteoporosis, I had a bone density and mine was in the normal range but I also lacked calcium, and my mom has severe osteoporosis and she wanted me to have a little help in that area. She is a wonderful doctor who would rather use supplements or natural ways to help when she can instead of a lot of prescriptions.

I am taking a calcium, magnesium, zinc supplement from the Vitamin Shop. I take loads of Andrew's supplements also but when I had my Dexascan the doctor said I was Osteopenic and to take Calcium. The pereson at the store suggested I make sure the Magnesium is in it to dispurse the calcium correctly. I don't remember Andrew's calcium so I would check all the ingredients. I do trust him though in whatever you decide which of his to take.

@luvmybeetle

Yes that is correct, when i showed the label that I printed off from Andrew's page she wanted to make sure there was magnesium in it and she also liked the Vitamin D3 and Vitamin K2 in it as they help dispurse the calcium correctly

@Kachina624

Actually, blood tests will only show a magnesium deficiency when it is extremely severe. Most of our magnesium is stored in other parts of the body. Having the right amount in our blood is so very important that our bodies will take magnesium from other body parts to ensure it is balanced in our blood.

There aren’t regular lab tests to show true magnesium deficiency before it has become severe, at which point it can be life-threatening.

I was taking a small amount of calcium, about 1,000 mg a day. My doctor said I was taking too much and to cut it back. It can effect heart functions. I'm much older than most of you.

I take Andrew's Multivitamin and supplement with 400 mg. of Magnesium Glycinate. I have tried Magnesium Citrate but it gave me a bit of a loose bowel. I take this apart from the multivitamin.

I make my own magnesium oil, using Ancient Minerals (it's kind of like epsom salts), put it in a spray bottle, and spritz it on after a shower.

Used transdermally, your body only takes what it needs, and there's no side effects of any sort. My neck and lower back are my worst problems, getting lots of muscle spasms due to old injuries, and the MO allows my muscles to relax so I can sleep better.

My ex pulled a muscle in his arm bowling once, I sprayed some on his arm, he noticed a difference immediately.

@BetsyDoodle I use a chelated magnesium product that works well for me. I don't take additional calcium beyond a women's daily.

@BetsyDoodle

Your doctor recommended a specific brand? Interesting. My doctors recommend by doesage, not by a specific brand, but hey!

My Hemoglobin was good for years, until it wasn't. Of course that relates to actual blood needed at a certain level, not for supplementation. Before I take any supplement, I want to see current blood numbers, not those from "a few years back". I currently take only 1 supplement and my doctor gave me the dosage, not a specific brand.

I do get a B-12 shot every month, but that comes after a blood draw every 3 months. Personally do not believe in arbitrary supplementation, for me it seems like a waste of my hard earned money I could use for other things.

To each their own.

My doctor didn't recommend Andrew Lessman specifically, as I said on another reply I printed off the labels and let her read the ingredients. She recommended that I could get either of the supplements that I let her read. I just was hesitant on the calcium because some calcium supplements hurt my stomach. Wanted to know about calcium from Andrew Lessman

Most forms of magnesium are hard to absorb especially at the levels helpful to the body without getting the urge to use the bathroom which wipes out the benefits.

I happened onto the Magnesum miracle book on Amazon and found it at my library as a audio book. I was so impressed I bought it on Amazon in paper back and also bought the liquid magnesium the doctor makes.

I had been taking Magnesium Glycinate and had little help to my problems I was taking it for.

I started slow with the Remag the doctor makes adding 1/4 teaspoon to my two quart water jug in my refrigerator and then upping it taking 1/4 tea twice a day with water in a shot glass letting it sit in my mouth absorbing sublingually then swallowing it. Here is what happened after one week's use.

Heart palpatations stopped at night

Constant knee pain stopped like a switch had been turned off.

Feet and leg cramps stopped

tremors to the hand are remarkably better and I can now put on eye liner again.

If you look at the revews of ReMag most people buy it to stop or control Afib or lower blood pressure.

@BetsyDoodle I use Andrew's calcium - magnesium intensive care, have to take two capsules at a time in order to get the 500mgs, and no more than 500mgs at one time as that is all the body can absorb at one time, but go to HSN and read the labels of each calcium supplement, it will enlarge for a person to read, and then decide. The body needs calcium so if you aren't getting enough through food, then a supplement should be taken.

I don’t use Dr. Dean’s brand, but I have taken ionic magnesium for years and wouldn’t be without it. It is a life-changer for most people who try it.
