Other than taking it until you get the runs...is there a mathematical way to figure out your magnesium needs?

Great question. I'd love to know more about this too
without getting blood drawn and checking if you are def i would have no clue. i have always used 400mg a day when i am sweating more than usual and 200 the rest of the year. like now i am doing a ton of cardio so it's 400 post workout for me
What kinda of magnesium your taking is probable what to look at first. Certain forms of magnesium are not absorbed so easily. Also avoid zinc when taking magnesium. It will cause your body to absorb less.
Calcium and vit D will aid in absorption of magnesium
Like Guns, I too take 400 mg ED. Never a prob with the runs as long as I take it with food. Now pop one on an empty stomach and you are playing with brown fire.
I take magnesium glycinate. One of the most absobing and least likely to cause digestive upset. here is a chart...RDA. Of course tweak to your own needs...
Life Stage Recommended Amount Birth to 6 months 30 mg Infants 7-12 months 75 mg Children 1-3 years 80 mg Children 4-8 years 130 mg Children 9-13 years 240 mg Teen boys 14-18 years 410 mg Teen girls 14-18 years 360 mg Men 400-420 mg Women 310-320 mg Pregnant teens 400 mg Pregnant women 350-360 mg Breastfeeding teens 360 mg Breastfeeding women 310-320 mg

Anytime i use to do the competitions at work. I would use the 10 oz. magnesium citrate at the beginning after weigh in to clean me out. And then at the end of the competition 24-36hrs before weigh in. I could lose 9lbs the last day alone.. :)
JEEZUZ, I had surgery and had to use the mag citrate to clean me out and it was MISERABLE! It turned my hind end into an upside down chocolate milk volcano. Only volcanoes don't get cramps that bend them double in pain when they erupt.Quote:
