Magnesium

I have been taken webber naturals' Magnesium Citrate 150mg for many years, sometimes it give me racing heart and heart palpitations in the middle of the night. Nowadays I only take it maybe once a week.

I tried webber naturals' Magnesium Biglycinate 200mg, it actually gives me insomnia

Right now I am taking CanPrev Magnesium Bis-Glycinate 200mg, it does make me calm and sleep a little better.

Just ordered a "MagEnhance Magnesium-L-Threonate Complex, With Magnesium Glycinate and Taurate" from Amazon, will update once I give it a try.

 

I am so confused about all these different Magnesium supplements. Is this a good supplement to take?

Life Extension: Neuro-Mag Magnesium L-Threonate

Is it too high in magnesium? Would like to stay on a lower dose but for a long time to see if anything changes.

 

YES! Magnesium L-Threonate is the best in the sense that it is the ONLY Magnesium supplement that crosses the blood-brain barrier. Magnesium Bisglycinate is another favorite of mine. You could try combining those two... take Bisglycinate in the morning, L-Threonate in the evening.

You should take 3 pills of Life Extension Neuro-Mag Magnesium L-Threonate in the evening. That provides 144 mg of elemental Magnesium, and then you can take Bisglycinate in the morning in the amount that makes your total daily elemental Magnesium 300-400 mg.

Good Magnesium Bisglycinate product:

I read the topic.

It is well understood that there are several Magnesium salts, three of which tend to work well, such as Magnesium bisglycinate, glycerophosphate...

Can taking Magnesium (regular dose) make tinnitus or hyperacusis worse?

I am asking this question because I am more and more vigilant about taking medications or supplements.

Thank you for your feedback.

 

Has anyone whose tinnitus gets severely spiked by Magnesium Citrate found a form of Magnesium that doesn't spike their tinnitus? Which one has worked best while still being effective for calming nerves, relaxing muscle spasms etc.?

I need to take Magnesium for other issues but it spikes my tinnitus like crazy every single time.

 

@shrimp, Magnesium Bisglycinate. Recommended by my audiologist as the only supplement worth taking.

 

@shrimp, try Magnesium Glycinate and/or Liquid Ionic Magnesium.

 

Thanks for the tip, I bought some yesterday. I will try it out and hope my spike quiets down.

Thanks. I've started taking Glycinate now, let's see how it works for me!

 

Just wanted to check in and thank @MindOverMatter and @Nick47 for the tip on trying Magnesium Glycinate instead. I switched from Citrate a few weeks back and my tinnitus has gone way down, so this appears to be working! My tinnitus is still slightly higher than baseline when on no Magnesium at all, but compared to when on the Citrate, it's about 80% less of a spike so this I can live with for the benefits I get from being on it in the first place.

 

That's great news @shrimp.

What dosage are you on? 200-400 mg a day?

Tip: If you notice loose stools, try out with a little less, or portion it out throughout the day.
