I love magnesium, I have chronic constipation and 400mg solves that problem quite reliably. I used to take 1600+ mg per day last year for months to help fix my anxiety & panic attacks. It helped a lot and had NO sideeffects at all. It was mostly bisglicynate to proivde better effects and avoid diarrhea.

[@mikahundin]

That's great that magnesium has been such a game-changer for you! Magnesium is not only essential for helping with constipation, IBS, and pelvic floor dysfunction, but it's also incredibly beneficial for bodybuilding and weightlifting. Magnesium supports muscle relaxation, energy production, and protein synthesis, which are key to recovery and performance. It also helps prevent muscle cramps and soreness after intense workouts, so having optimal magnesium levels is crucial for overall muscle function. Regarding dosages, research suggests that the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for magnesium is around 400-420 mg/day for men and 310-320 mg/day for women. However, athletes and people with higher stress levels or digestive issues often benefit from slightly higher doses, like the 400 mg/day you’re taking. In terms of safety, studies show that magnesium is well-tolerated even at higher doses like 800 mg-1600 mg per day when needed for specific conditions like anxiety, but it’s essential to monitor the form of magnesium you're using. You’re on point with bisglycinate, as it's one of the most absorbable forms and is less likely to cause diarrhea compared to forms like magnesium oxide or citrate. However, taking more than 350 mg/day from supplements (beyond dietary intake) can sometimes lead to side effects like diarrhea or abdominal discomfort, though the upper limit is more about avoiding these side effects rather than toxicity. High doses for extended periods, like 2000 mg/day or more, can lead to more serious health issues, including low blood pressure or heart rhythm problems, though this is rare with responsible usage. So, your use of 400 mg/day sounds well within the safe range and seems to be helping with both your chronic constipation and anxiety, as well as supporting your bodybuilding efforts! Keep listening to your body, and as always, it’s a good idea to check in with a healthcare professional if you're thinking of increasing your dose.

Anecdotally (so, take that as you will): for my whole life, if I ate eggs, everybody around me would be smelling fire & brimstone for hours afterward. However, I can have a 3-egg omelette and take a probiotic, and nobody has to suffer any olfactory punishment. This is a new enough realization that I'm not sure if I take them regularly on a long-term basis that the effect will remain permanent, but I definitely notice _a_ difference. I might keep some around just for when I eat foods high in sulfur (like eggs)....

[@cl3935]

I have eggs everyday too, i have them with sauerkraut or kimchi. Never any issues.

@@cl3935 having eggs with fermented foods (or with highly cultured foods like homemade yogurt) does nothing to change the amount of hot, rancid sulfur in the air if I didn't take a probiotic with them.

When you're taking these supplements, read prescription labels carefully because they do interact with many drugs. Or just ask a pharmacist when they're not doing 30 things at one time.

[@seaneyo]

I feel like there’s so much going on in the GI tract that it’s difficult for any one product to have consistent results. If your GI system is already good, it will do nothing. If your system is otherwise healthy but needs a jump start to get established, hugely beneficial - but if your probiotic out competes something that was working fine, maybe some negative side effects. Also If you have a bad H-pylori infestation, it may not improve your GI performance without a narrow antibiotic to target the H-pylori before the probiotic re establishment.

[@seaneyo]

Also, different diets and regional cuisine affect microbiomes differently, so a Japanese sea vegetable diet is going to have a different optimal microbiome from a carnivore, American vegan, Italian, Mediterranean etc. even though they’re all primarily (?) consuming resistant starches

Is magnesium really that difficult to achieve with food? I mean, looking on internet, peanut butter has plenty, pumpkin seeds too... Etc etc. After a quick search... I think my diet has plenty of foods (in enough quantity) to provide magnesium over 200mg...

[@Snerdles]

In Canada when you look at their reference charts they list an estimated average requirement for magnesium at between 330-350mg for adult males depending on age, and a recommended daily allowance of 400-420. In pumpkin seeds it's over 4 oz a day, which is unlikely anyone is eating that. For peanut butter that's more like 8-10 tablespoons. Other nuts are good too but nuts and legumes are generally very high in calories per unit of other things you want. 4oz of pumpkin seeds is going to be somewhere close to 350 seeds. That's about 500 calories too, so 25% of your daily intake on a 2000 calorie diet. A 200mg magnesium supplement has 0 calories and then you can forget about it and just eat some spinach or something in one of your meals. Now try balancing everything else you need in 2000 calories without supplements. It's a mess.

[@m7rayven195]

@@Snerdles first, thanks for the answer. I have 3100 kcal to play. And im eating 75gr of peanut butter already. Which, following Google, are 115mg of magnesium. With the rest of the diet It will be going up (I usually eat pumpkin seeds too, spinach...), but maybe youre right and I still dont achieve that 300-350 mg daily

[@Snerdles]

@@m7rayven195 The next thing to think about is that the reference values I read are for Health Canada, and they are different depending on where you get the data. Then even after that the reference adult male they use is 70 inches tall and 154 pounds (177cm, 70kg). In internet parlance that would be referred to as a 'soy boy'. So, if you are on 3000 calories instead of 2000 calories do you also need 50% more magnesium? Who knows. Plus, we were currently only solving for magnesium and ended up at somewhere in the 20% of your calories from food just to get that. Now how about potassium, molybdenum, phosphorus... How about vitamins A, E, and K. At some point you'd need an AI just to matrix out all of your requirements and try to figure out if you are getting everything you need from food. That or you could just take a multivitamin and drink an electrolyte drink one a day that is high in sodium, potassium, and magnesium and just eat what you think will serve your needs best.

[@MrFreshniKo]

the problem is not the availabilty of magnesium in food, but the anti nutrients in food that block the absorbtion of minerals like magnesium, zinc, iron, calcium,etc. for example nuts have a lot of magnesium but they also have a lot of anti nutrients like phytic acid and oxalates which bind to the minerals and therefore your gut cannot absorb them. those anti nutrients are mainly in plant food, animal products dont have that so the best ressource for magnesium, zinc and stuff are animal products. and i would suggest to you that you stop eat so much peanut butter a day, thats a lot of omega 6 fatty acid per day..

[@MrFreshniKo]

also i forgot to say: only because on the label it says for example 100mg magnesium per 100g doesnt mean thats actually the case. it is known that our food has lost a lot of quality in regards to vitamin and mineral content cause of the bad soil the food is grown on..

I use the carnitine tartrate for energy. Does it work? Idk maybe? I work out for about 2 1/2 hours per session high volume 4 days a week so even the slightest boost is helpful.

[@mikahundin]

L-Carnitine L-Tartrate is often used for enhancing energy by aiding in fat metabolism, which can potentially help with endurance and recovery during longer workouts like yours. While the results can be subtle, some research suggests that it can help with reducing muscle soreness and enhancing recovery, especially in high-volume training. If you’re noticing even a slight boost, that might be a good sign that it’s working for you. Ultimately, it's a supplement that may not have immediate, obvious effects like caffeine, but it can support energy and recovery over time-especially in intense training like your 2.5-hour sessions. Keep listening to your body and track how you feel during and after workouts!
