Brilllant content 😊whats your take on IV suplemtation as it bypass digestive system and nourish the blood stream directly with high doses ?? Thanks

[@EllaSqueaks]

Transdermal magnesium therapy: Magnesium chloride is often considered to have higher bioavailability and absorption rates through the skin compared to magnesium sulfate (epsom salt).

[@stevoblevo]

I've heard that as well. Have you heard Magnesium pidolate (aka pyroglutamate) has even better absorption? it's only 8.6% Mg though. And it's hard to find on the market.

[@poornimawagh9315]

Magnesium co-factors are the B vitamins (all of them), L- glutamine, taurine and boron. The B vitamins, boron, taurine and glutamine keep the magnesium much longer in the cell. The best way to get magnesium is through transdermal magnesium through soaking of FEET in magnesium chloride flakes for at least 45 minutes.

[@Khushalpatil-y8g]

Maan. Kindly tell me if I mix mag. Chloride flakes in water and apply on the whole body, Is it feasible? and in what proprtions should I mix mag. Chloride in water(I was told 1:7 ratio)

This. Is. The. Most. Important. Comment. About. Magnesium. EVER!!!! I was so Mg deficient that ionic Mg orally was the only thing that worked though.

[@skarab9]

Also another cofactor is Bicarbonate. So Magnesium Bicarbonate would be great but you need to make it with carbonated water and Mg Hyroxide. See Dr Sircus' work on this.

[@c4caffeen134]

@@skarab9 This is past my understanding - I'm so inundated with digestion issues plus having to supplement so much that I'm just exhausted trying but I got all I need to at least make a spray bottle and get it through my skin & try that. So tired of things not working and chasing more information.

[@timothyTNM117]

So glad you mentioned the outlier of boron. For three years I could tell my body needed more magnesium after a super stressful event, but magnesium just “didn’t work.” I experimented with boron and noticed some improvements with that alone (lowered chronically high heat rate). Then experimented with borax. At first my low magnesium symptoms got worse, then when I took magnesium, that was the first time in three years it “worked.” Felt relaxation of tension within an hour.

[@kappapride6017]

thats awesome, thanks for sharing! How do you take the boron and magnesium? Do you take them at the same time or appart from each other? I'm often afraid, that minerals block each other in absorption

[@Kananaboo]

I just recently found my boron has been below limits of detection twice in a row (HTMA) after 9 months apart. I tried eating high boron foods, too... Started taking Boroganic Glycine and think it's speeding up the magnesium repletion (had very low levels). Scared to use borax since everywhere labels it poison in Australia.

[@Rileyed]

@@Kananabooborax works the best of all of them. Crazy! I just add to my water purifier. Add it to soups. Add it to baths.

Thanks Felix. Your video on taurine to thin the bile has really helped me!

[@samdunski6921]

Hi Felix! Would you please talk about the magnesium "citrate" version of the supplement? I have not yet heard you mention that one. Sorry if I missed it, but I did not come across it during my search of your page. I've been told that the citrate version of magnesium is one of the best, if not the best, near or just behind glycinate. Was surprised to hear what you said about oxide, by the way. I feel so jerked around by all the misinfo out there. Thanks for all your help!

[@edyt.8761]

Thank you Felix, you explained very well!

Excellent! Well thought out points.

[@Qwertyuiopclub]

Thankyou! Great information noted

[@Quantum-ne7bc]

Chelated Magnesium Glycinate works awesome! Chelated supplements are released slowly in the body to enhance absorption and also helps to avoid the side effects of the non chelated versions because it doesn't overload to system with too much at one time. Boron & B6 have also been a great addition for me. I use Life Extension's Boron 3mg complex which also has B6 since they are also cofactors for each other.

[@carlsapartments8931]

I take Mg citrate before bed 400-600 and it make a massive difference in my sleep. If I take it in the morning I sleep terribly.

a little boron a day is great for those that don't get it in their water. It just depends on where you live.

[@headbanger77]

Is it better to take magnesium with meals or between meals ?

[@AlSwearengen4]

With or after meals. It can cause a drop in blood sugar, ostensibly due to more efficient use of blood sugar.

[@badele80]

If you have no negative symptoms how do we know what is happening? This is overwhelming, do we supplement with calcium or not? Just ordered k2 and also watched the video on heart issues. I am scared to supplement at all

[@MrAslan_47]

Can I take magnesium citrate and potassium citrate syrup as a supplement daily the syrup contains potassium citrate and magnesium citrate. Is it safe ?

[@Mark4Jesus]

This is great. Could be even better if you started out with the symptoms. Many folks (myself included) don't test their nutrient levels periodically (or at all). 😊

Yes that is the elephant in the room. It made a HUGE difference for me when I started Taurine as it helps balance minerals in the cells

[@Nick23at63]

What about mixing magnesium with DMSO and applying to the skin? DMSO supposedly absorbs easily through the skin, and it seems that would be more efficient than an Epsom Salt bath.

[@kevinlcarlson]

Magnesium may not dissolve in DMSO

[@Nick23at63]

@@kevinlcarlson - Two things: First, I've tried this, and magnesium does dissolve in DMSO. Second, why would magnesium not dissolve in DMSO but would in water as he suggested with an Epsom Salt bath? And DMSO is a potent solvent.

[@williammourningcrow6000]

Choline dihydrogen citrate will also help with magnesium absorption

[@Surfer-727]

I thought calcium blocked the absorption of magnesium ? I drink San Pellegrino mineral water, it has about equal amounts of calcium and magnesium. I read is the magnesium helps with the absorption of the calcium.

[@sherylburt7863]

Yes. Could you state your sources re transdermal absorption? I am really skeptical

[@felix-harder]

To be honest, if you try a epsom bath once, you will instantly know it can be absorbed by through the skin. But here is a study that also showed it: espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:406773#

[@stevoblevo]

Why is Magnesium Glycinate best absorbed in studies? Why is it other chelate supplements using glycinate also have high absorbtion? I wonder if it has to do with people generally not getting much glycine in their diets (especially compared to its primary Amino Acid counterpart, Methionine). Perhaps the body is after the glycine, more than the magnesium.

[@Rileyed]

I think Glycine is a good and small carrier peptide that goes through membranes more easily.

[@zeljkorajcevic1315]

It’s interesting that you take magnesium glycinate in the morning. I have been taking it for years in the evening with idea that it’s good for sleep.

[@matversion2]

Glycine is helpful during most times of the day so while it can help with sleep it's also helpful in the morning, it'll just be used for different processes.

[@wocket42]

​@@matversion2glycine comes with food (e.g. bone broth). Doesn't make sense to rely on the glycine in a magnesium supplement, I would say

[@matversion2]

That's not what I'm saying, what I am saying is that generally for every 200 mg of magnesium that is in a magnesium glycinate supplement, there's going to be 1 g of glycine. There's upsides to that, especially when you consider some of the research is showing benefits upwards of 15 g per day. It can be beneficial at any time of day, as can magnesium which can be dosed multiple times per day.

[@zeljkorajcevic1315]

@@matversion2 thank you for your clarification. I really appreciate it 👌

[@salonikamat9048]

Would dissloving magnesium chloride thoroughly in water have the same effect as the ionic supplements on the market?

[@felix-harder]

ReMag (which is ionic and made from mag chloride) claims that they process the magnesium which makes it smaller in diameter. While I can't say anything about the process itself, it does seem to be more potent than a regular mag chloride solution.

[@salonikamat9048]

Glycinate was the worst for me

[@haraldtheyounger5504]

One of the few to look at Ionic Magnesium, the only form which works for me, and I've tried them all over the years. The reason I began supplementing magnesium was due to severe leg cramps where the right calf muscle would lock, causing extreme pain. Going from cramp, to the muscle turning rock hard, turning to jelly, etc. A horrible process which eventually left me being unable to walk properly for days on end after every cramp attack due to the muscle being ripped to shreds. The doctor was useless, so I had to do my own research, which lead to magnesium deficiency. So long as I supplement, I'm fine.
