I think the liquid supplements have less bad things in them and may be more readily absorbed. My main reason to cut down on pills is that I take a lot of stuff and they irritate my stomach and on down.
It will be a few weeks before I can start switching to liquid supplements and I’ll see how it goes.
As a matter of fact, I take OPC3, B Complex, and Senior Multivitamin from shop.com. It comes as a powder (made by Gatorade) and you mix it with water. It’s “engineered” to be the same density as your body fluids and you get about 98% absorption in ten minutes…just like Gatorade electrolyte.
If God told me to give up all the stuff I take except one thing, I’d choose to stay with OPC3. It increases blood flow in tiny vessels…think retina and macular degeneration. Enough.
My best! 👏😄
Hello Everyone. Im 64 years of age, and had my Thyroid removed 5 years ago. I was told Id be as good as rain. Long story short, for 4 years I have suffered with chronic neuropathy, fibromyalgia, depression, heart paliptations and severe anxiety, etc, etc, while still plowing the fields, single handedly, (figure of speech) to overcome the chronic disabling pain that has plagued me daily,. I took to doing my own homeork because Drs just didnt get it as to why the surgery left me worse off then before Id had it. Having gone to an endrochronologist, oncologist, immuniologist, neurologist, expressing my discomfort, I was advised my t4, t3, tsh numbers were intact. I expressed to the Endro, if something wasnt done, i was going to end up in a wheel chair dependent on social services for financial support. Dismissing my concerns, I took matters into my own hands; simply because Im stubborn and because I refused to become a burden on society. I still enjoy maintaining my independence. However, after an incident occurred, unexpectantly, while at work, I was rushed to the emergency room wherby I was advised that the Levothyroxine prescribed after my surgery I was allergic to. Apoarently, unbenounced to me, the binding agents interacted with my blood and I was chronically facing one UTI after another, to include a heart condition ecascerbated by this drug. My white cell count had dropped so low, on 3 occassions, i coukdnt get out of bed for weeks, and they couldnt tell me if Id live past last year. Moreover, the pins, needles, numbness, and buring in my hands, feet, and toes went on for months, years, whereas I could barely walk. It had become so unbearable and excruciating I contemplated suicide, and resorted to seeing a therapist for help. Much to my chagrin, nobody had any answers! So, after much research ustilizing peer reviewed studies, I discovered Magnesium Malate abated the excruciating chroic pain, I was having. Unfortunately, I was not told after the surgery that I would be deficient and would lack the essential minerals and vitamins normally secreted via an entact thyroid. These deficuencues dont show up under random blood sample testing. I.e, selenium, magnesium, and the essential b vitamins aside from B12, or D vitamins that you must ask for because its not included in random blood screening tests. Fortunately, after 2 weeks, of taking 1200 mg of Magnesium Malatte, I feel like a new person. The excruciating pain once felt has subsided. In fact, Ive gone from a 10 being the worst pain, to a 3 being the least amount, I am on the road to recovery. I am a firm beleiver in helping and sharing my experiences with others who suffer. If magnesium malate works for you , i promise you'll feel the grace of God has just descended upon you. Im also a beleiver. Good luck.

I 've had neuropathy in my feet since i had chemo for breast cancer. My oncologist at the time told me to take magnesium L-threonate. I bought some on Amazon. I had stopped taking it because it gave me diarrhea. I figured I'd try again. I have had some diarrhea, but I figured I'd just treat the diarrhea and use the magnesium. A few days ago, I noticed I had feeling in my afflicted left hand again. Last night I got out of the shower , walked to my room and felt something was odd. I realized I was feeling the cushiness and texture of the carpet under my feet! My big hope is maybe I will improve enough to drive again. I'll be 81 in October.
I also have been using the new VoxxLife patches for my balance and they definitely help.
Plus, I started taking liquid quinine and my leg cramps completely stopped. Before they affected me sitting, bending and trying to sleep. I'm a a retired RN and I love researching ways to "fix" myself.
Good question. Magnesium is one of those things that doesn't get talked about enough when it comes to neuropathy.
Your nerves actually need it to work right. It helps with nerve signaling and keeps inflammation in check. And a ton of people with neuropathy are low on magnesium and don't even know it. Muscle cramps, restless legs, bad sleep, more tingling than usual.. those can all be signs you're running low.
Infusions can help if you're really depleted since it gets into your system faster, but for most people just taking a good oral supplement every day does the trick. One thing though, stay away from magnesium oxide. That's the cheap stuff you see everywhere and it barely absorbs. You're basically buying a laxative. Go with magnesium glycinate or threonate, way better for nerve stuff.
Now magnesium alone isn't going to fix everything. I've seen the best results when people stack it with B12, alpha-lipoic acid, cutting sugar way back, and doing something to get circulation moving to the feet. That combo is where people really start feeling a difference. Give it some time too. Usually takes 4-8 weeks before things start shifting.
Think of magnesium as one piece of the puzzle. It sets the stage for healing but you still gotta address the bigger stuff like blood sugar and circulation.

Thanks so much for the information provided. Do you know whether it is better to take B12 instead of B-Complex? I recently stopped taking B12 and replaced it with B-Complex Plus, since this includes other B vitamins such as, 1, 2, 6, as well as 12. Appreciate feedback.

After reading your post, I bought Mentara 10. It has 3 different types of Magnesium. It's supposed to rehydrate DDD. I have very bad DDD, so I thought it was worth a try. It comes with a 90-day guarantee. I had Viadisc done, and it did help for a while. It's a procedure that rehydrates the discs. I saw it on Facebook, so I thought I would try it. I pray it does what it says! I have constant lower back pain. Relief would be wonderful! It takes a couple of months to work, so I will report back after I try it.
