Which form of magnesium for pvc's? Taurate? Glycinate?
I an active, "young" 73. Have had pvc's for a couple months. Heart monitor showed a little over 1000/day and almost as many pac's per day. Dr. Upped my beta-blocker a little, which hasnt helped, and is referring me to a cardiologist (waiting for them to call for appt). Normal EKG and echo essentially normal but GP wants cardiologist to talk to me to explain everything. Magnesium was low side of normal. Have been on a PPI for a year for GERD. I understand serum Mg isn't a great measure of your true Mg situation. Am thinking of taking Mg supplement and for those of you who have been helped by it, what form are you taking? Taurate? Glycinate? Can you recommend a brand? Am so tired of this feeling! I get anxiety on top of it when I start feeling like they'll never go away. I don't want to live like this the rest of my life. Thanks so much!

Everyone is so different. After a lot of reading I landed on magnesium glycinate for its superior bioavailability. And since reading a post here about CoQ10 I switched that to Ubiquinol. Then I added 500mg taurine. My horrible bedtime postural ectopics have stopped! My heart is so calm at night now. There are studies that support this but I have three cardiologists and all they did was give me beta blockers which barely worked and caused hair loss and interrupted sleep. For what it’s worth this is my new regime along with everything else I’m doing for my heart.

4 ReactionsWhen I started using ubiquinol on my dog for a heart murmur the Vet also recommended adding taurine. The new dog food we bought had taurine added to it. I take ubiquinol in general because I have had an ablation and occasional issues with PACs and PVCs. Right now I am in a bad period where I am not getting the usual results from 400 mg of ubiquinol for the PVCs act. I think it is time to add Taurine.
