Magnesium Glycinate

Posted by meri8181 @meri8181, 6 days ago

I am currently not taking any medications for my bone loss.
Just fell into Osteoporosis in my femoral neck. I have upped my exercises, strength weight training, jumping, Pilates, yoga, walking up hills, taking Vitamin D3, B Complex, magnesium Glycinate , plant based Calcium, and FORTIBONE by NativePath .
Does anyone know the limit for magnesium glycinate. I read for women 320 mg but I want to take more.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Bones, Joints & Muscles Support Group.

tkr1, I have a lot of pvs & palpitations. My Cardilogist recommended me to take this daily to help both. I can tell a difference. I do feel more relaxed in my muscles (Fibromyalgia) taking it. It is also good for constipation, leg cramps & migraines. There is a product called Calm Natural Vitality Powder that a lot of folks take at night for sleep and it has magnesium in it. Please consult with your doctor before trying these.

You have to be careful with the dosage as to much can give you diarrhea. I do well with 200 mg of the magnesium glycinate. Some folks are able to tolerate more...not me.

Blessings & Prayers....

I just started taking one 240 mg magnesium glycinate capsule in the evening. I had a cardiac ablation for my Afib six years ago, but I am having some palpitations and rapid heartbeat lately. I have also had some sleep issues, so I thought I would try taking the magnesium even though neither my cardiologist or PCP recommended it. It’s nice to hear from someone who is taking the magnesium and it has helped.

What is the difference between Glycinate and L Threonate?

Google the difference or ask AI. They have different functions in the body.

I am attempting to try the supplement route for osteoporosis and have been researching multiple supplements including magnesium. I don’t do well with giant pills and have been looking for a powder. I came across Magtech Magnesium. Is anyone familiar? It is 200 mg with magnesium sourced from a combination of l-theonate, glycinate and taurate. Anyone try this or can comment on these types of magnesium? Thanks.

I have not heard of Fortibone. Has this been successful for osteoporosis?

I take Magnesium Citrate at night for sleep recommended by my doctor - 4 caps, each 120 mg. I started with one cap and my doctor said to add one each night until I felt the effects. And it worked. In my humble opinion, our medical doctors are used to prescribing medications, not natural supplements.
Best to you!
