Heart health and magnesium

The best and widely available for cost and ease of uptake by the body is magnesium glycinate or bis-glycinate. Malate is also good. For stress and brain health, threonate. If there's nothing else available, or if cost is a problem, citrate is okay, but beware taking so much that you end up with loose stools.

I take Mg Taurate , it seems to help lessen my AFIB .

Hi, Thank you for the responses. I am taking rovastatin, an aspirin, familial and recently added bisoprolo. I am researching as drs. Seem to be focused on only meds. I have again , high blood pressure, cholesterol , erratic heart beat, cvsd, now experiencing syncope. I'm a tiny 92 lbs. So I'm m thinking extra diet supplements , vitamins . Any suggestions?

You might consider K2 with Vitamin D. It is good for heart, bone and immune health.

Mg and Fe are important factors in health. If you don't get enough magnesium, and if you're borderline or actually anemic (low on folic acid, low ferratin levels, or iron deficient), it can lead to all sorts of issues. You may need a full blood assay to find out if you're systems are working properly AND IF you're getting the right nutrients. Liver enzymes and creatinine levels will be revealing...again...blood.

Have you not been prescribed apixaban or equivalent to anti-coagulate? I know, the cost is choking for many, but it's great insurance, well tolerated, and works like a hot damn. It doesn't 'thin' the blood, only slows coagulation. This is key for any arrhythmias....exceedingly important to help prevent strokes. Stroke is the leading lethal problem in arrhythmias.

Magnesium Taurate is for the heart. I researched it.

Hi, I have never been prescribed that. I do have anaemia issues , cost is a huge issue for me. I am in Canada and pay for my prescription s. The arrhythmia is very upsetting as I am an active person and finding it hard to stay that way.

B vitamins are important for building hemoglobin and preventing anemia. Vitamin C helps us absorb iron better.
I take small doses of both of these. I also like a website called myfooddata.com where I use the 'recipe nutrition calculator' to add up my food intake for a day as if it were one 'recipe', so I can see my totals for vitamins and minerals for the day. A similar website is cronometer.
This helps me see how I can better balance my diet and also figure out what I may want to consider supplementing.

I was on Eliquis and my INR was through the roof. Drs didn’t care !! I requested Coumadin. It’s been working just fine , of course , I’m still getting finger sticks every two weeks, I’ve had AFIB and other arrhythmias for many years , going for the second ablation in October. I can’t wait !

Just a thought that I asked my husbands cardiologist.
K2 is great to absorb Vitamin D3 but in this case, taking additional Rovustatin, Aspirin etc., that should have the function to thin the blood it is contra indicated because K2 is supposed to thicken the blood.
Our doctor agreed to not take K2 only Vitamin D3.
