magnesium taurate/ectopics

[Padayn01]

Hi All, can i just ask is this the best Magnesium for ectopics? i been taking Magnesium Glycinate for around 9 months but was told they not much good for ectopics

[Bravemouth]

I take Magnesium Chelate but apparently the one to take is Magnesium Taurate. Chelate is working fine for me right now. I think the glycinate is one of the better ones. I guess it depends on what works fir you. If it’s working then stock with it.

[Padayn01 in reply to Bravemouth]

Cheers mate, not sure if the Glyicainate working to be honest

[TamlaMotown]

Hi Pad, I am currently taking Igennus Triple Complex so you get a bit of each magnesium because I don’t know if one is any better than the other having tried Taurate & Glycinate. Not tried Citrate by itself.

I cannot swallow big capsules so have to dissolve the content in water as Sanjay Gupta advises.

Taurate doesn’t taste too bad, Glycinate tastes disgusting but the triple complex isn’t too bad.

Have you had your 7 day monitor

[Padayn01 in reply to TamlaMotown]

Yeah just gave it in today my 7 day holter

[Padayn01 in reply to TamlaMotown]

How are your ectopics now? Or do you have any after taking magnesium and what sort of dose you on I only take 1 tablet a day don’t know if that’s enough

[Tako2009]

Hi. I take magnesium tau rate. As recommended by the lovely Dr Sanjay Gupta - I am convinced it helps with ectopics.

[Padayn01 in reply to Tako2009]

May i asked what brand?

[Tako2009 in reply to Padayn01]

I buy from BioCare online - reasonable price and they are reliable and prompt service. I have had no problems with them

- I take 2 capsules per day.

[Padayn01 in reply to Tako2009]

Thanks for that

[Padayn01 in reply to Tako2009]

Not sure should I switch from glycinate to taurate

[Strongheart143 in reply to Tako2009]

Is he the one from York Cardiology? Adore him.🥰

[TamlaMotown]

They’ve reduced a lot I only take a half daily dose. My Taurate is Biocare

[Padayn01 in reply to TamlaMotown]

Thanks for that

[Padayn01 in reply to TamlaMotown]

Looks like taurate is the one for ectopics

[Liverpool10]

I went crazy looking then taking magnesium taurate! After a month of taking them I started getting bad etopics. In the end I stopped taking them and etopics gone

[Shep30]

I’ve been on magnesium taurate now for 6 mths since listening to Sanjay Gupta and it has changed my life

[blue2900 in reply to Shep30]

Hi there

I also take magnesium taurate, can I ask what dose you take per day.

Thanks

[Padayn01 in reply to Shep30]

Can I ask which brand?

[Shep30 in reply to Padayn01]

I buy online from I herb -

Cardiovascular Research is the brand dr Gupta recommended they have it in capsules (125mg)

Another brand I get is KAL tablets 400mg each

I have purchased both

[Strongheart143 in reply to Shep30]

Magnesium taurate from cardiovascular research is the best one! Capsules are better than tablets tablets are big honking hard things that take a long time to digest; capsules dissolve MUCH more easily.

[Fproenza in reply to Shep30]

Hi...how long did it take for you to feel better?

[Padayn01 in reply to Fproenza]

I’ve stop taking magnesium now as they made little to no difference for my ectopics

[Strongheart143 in reply to Padayn01]

In this stressful world everyone virtually everyone is magnesium deficient I would resume taking your magnesium taurate because it’s good for you in many ways and not just the heart.PS you can get a normal blood test for magnesium and still be magnesium deficient. Because it’s not about the amount of magnesium the registers in the blood it’s the amount of magnesium inside yourself and that is a different test. You can get that test from a holistic MD functional medicine practitioner. Good luck

[Shep30]

I take 400 mg per day

[Padayn01 in reply to Shep30]

Is that quite a big dose?

[xssc32x]

Yeah good question interested in hearing about people’s dosage. I’m currently taking cardiovascular research mag taurate 125mg between 4-6 per day....It only suggests 2 but thought I may as well increase as no bowel incidents with this kind of mag

[Padayn01 in reply to xssc32x]

Has it worked?

[xssc32x in reply to Padayn01]

Yes I would say so, I also use he magnesium spray twice daily, a little mag calm . Also supplement Co Enzyme Q10 200mg, vitamin D and a Deva multivitamin, this seem to work for me.

[Padayn01 in reply to xssc32x]

And do you suffer with AF and ectopics?

[xssc32x in reply to Padayn01]

Ectopics but this I’m sure is triggered from anxiety...and only really get them or what I think is them from 1pm onwards...but probably 10-20.....

[Clurmac in reply to Padayn01]

Try 1000mg of vitamin D it has all but got rid of my ectopics within a couple of days!

[Padayn01 in reply to Clurmac]

Which brand do you take?

[a1anx]

I take 400 mg Magnesium Citrate daily I'm sure it helps, my Afib has subsided considerably over the last year since I've been taking it.......fingers crossed !!.

[Surreychica_1]

I now take Magnesium Glycinate, the Citrate didnt work for me. I was taking Taurate but suddenly the price went up to double the price to something like 28 euros from 14 euros so that is why I take the MG. However I now see that the Taurate is back down to 14 euros, so if it stays at the price I will order those instead. The Glycinate does not stop them altogether but they are a lot better then they were and I can live with them. Wish I knew what causes them though as I get them at all different times of the day and night

[Padayn01 in reply to Surreychica_1]

Looks like taurate is the most popular one on here for ectopics do you take any co enzymes also?

[Surreychica_1 in reply to Padayn01]

No I don't. I am not sure what they are. Are they beneficial for ectopics then!

[Padayn01 in reply to Surreychica_1]

Well not sure about ectopics but overall they are recommended for anyone with heart issues I myself just doing a bit more research before I purchase some

[Surreychica_1 in reply to Padayn01]

Let us know what the outcome is of your research. I am sure people would be interested.

[Padayn01 in reply to Surreychica_1]

Will do

[Conno40 in reply to Surreychica_1]

It can be caused from anxiety or slight distension of your stomach. Burping will alleviate the symptoms. Keep taking magnesium as this also helps the gut as well as the heart. I have had PAF for more than 25 years. Diagnosed in 1996 at the Texas Heart Institute in Dallas.

[GrannyE]

I take a 500mg pill with L-threonine, glycinate, and taurate by Bodygenix (EBay) last thing at night with some Vit C and it seems to work for me. I sleep well and no longer have ectopics although my heart is not regular at all. It seems to work for me although how do I know how I would be if I did not take it? Have been taking mag for years now recommended over 30 years ago by someone at the John Radcliffe in Oxford. I find some mag gives me loose stool. This one is OK.

[Padayn01 in reply to GrannyE]

Do you take any co enzymes

[GrannyE in reply to Padayn01]

Sorry have only just come back onto the site. Yes I do take CoQ10, curcumin and have done for years. I get my magnesium through EBay.

[Nannypoppy]

I take the glycinate and have had a definite improvement in 2 months, just 100mg a day, they suggest 200mg so im on a low dose and am going to up it to see if they go altogether. Take care with q10 co enzyme, if you are taking other heart medication it can inhibit it...look up drug interactions.

[Padayn01 in reply to Nannypoppy]

Yeah I think

I need to do a bit more research on the co enzyme I did exactly the same as you I uop my dose to 200 mg per day than 6 weeks later got these ectopics constant so I reduced it back to one tablet made no difference to the ectopics

[Nannypoppy in reply to Padayn01]

They are a nuisance to say the least!! I'm waiting for an appointment for a Holter so will wait until after that Good luck.

[Padayn01 in reply to Nannypoppy]

Are you in any meds or supplements to help?

[Nannypoppy in reply to Padayn01]

Just the glycinate at the moment.

[Padayn01 in reply to Nannypoppy]

Any help?

[Nannypoppy in reply to Padayn01]

Definitely, took a good couple of weeks though, and not totally gone, but better.

[Padayn01 in reply to Nannypoppy]

Really good to hear can I ask what brand you take?

[Nannypoppy in reply to Padayn01]

Yes they are Your Supplements..

[Derose in reply to Padayn01]

hi padayn01 how did you get on with the taurate?

[tunybgur]

I have somehow italicised my text???? Anyway, I take Taurate but find the size of the pills quite difficult to swallow , often wondered how well absorbed they would be if I used an alternative orifice....not really being serious, but these pills are huge!

[Janeybugs in reply to tunybgur]

You gave me a good laugh today. 😀

[Conno40 in reply to tunybgur]

Get the powder version. Better and faster to the essential parts. Pills are just too big to swallow.

[Daisee1963]

I’ve just started taking glycinerate but have ordered Biocare Taurate to try. Can anyone give an idea on how quickly they might start working please?

I have been 6 weeks now with non stop ectopics with runs of 3,4 and 5’s one after another which are wearing me out and desperate for some relief!! X

[Padayn01 in reply to Daisee1963]

I hear it takes around one week to start seeing benefits depending how bad your condition is but could take up to 6 months to get the full effect i’m thinking of switching to taurate, may I ask what brand were you taking before for the glycinate?

[Daisee63 in reply to Padayn01]

I was using better you I think they are called??

[Geonome]

For paroxysmal Afib.

I was taking magnesium bisglycinate, with maybe a bit of benefit. Switched to magnesium with taurine (450 mg of taurine), (CanPrev brand) taking 1 capsule per day, and my afib has improved tremendously. Went down from having an afib episode every week, to none in 3 months now. Keeping my fingers crossed.

I have tried Co Q-10 in the past, with no benefit.

[Padayn01 in reply to Geonome]

Wow I think most on here get great benefit to taurine

[Padayn01 in reply to Geonome]

Is this the one you take?

canprev.ca/products/magnesi...

[Geonome in reply to Padayn01]

Yes, it is.

[Gladstone001]

Hi Padayn01,

I hope all is going OK for you. You might want to read my story as it majors on Magnesium and CoQ10:

healthunlocked.com/afassoci...............

I did start my journey with Magnesium Taurate, but Glycinate seems to do the same job, is less expensive and did not cause any stool issues.

Best regards,

Gladstone001

[Padayn01 in reply to Gladstone001]

Hope all is ok for you also thank you very much for this

[Padayn01 in reply to Gladstone001]

So I’ve just read it amazing you have found a formula, can I just ask did excercise trigger your AF? As I’m excercise at the moment and don’t try and push my heart over the 140bpm bracket

[Gladstone001]

Hi,

Exercise was and still is a trigger, albeit much less now. The trigger point would be any exercise where my heartrate was above 115 - 125 for more than 10 - 15 mins. It did not always trigger, but often some 30mins to 3 hrs after the exercise would see onset of serious AF or AT. Sometimes preceeded by Ectopics or erratic single beats. Some 2 weeks ago, I did a serious Mountain walk/hike in Skye which was labelled as moderate but was actually very hard but to rain sweeping in out of nowhere. My heartrate was well above 125bpm for more an hour, maybe more. I expected the worst! I was very pleased that my only post-walk heart issues were some low level AF just above my resting heart rate for a couple of hours, with no associated discomfort. I do believe that this "success" is very much down to the Magnesium/Ubiquinol regime....

Cheers

[Padayn01 in reply to Gladstone001]

So will you recommend that excercise is still good for the heart even us with AF? just don’t want to push it

[Gladstone001]

Even though exercise is a possible trigger, I continued to exercise with due caution throughout. I joined a Cardiac Exercise club (affiliated to NHF) in my local area and once a week had a hour long circuit training with others having heart conditions supervised by a heart-trained fitness coach. Otherwise I stick to exercises where I can control my heartrate, i.e. swimming and walking and not high intensity gym activity.

A few years back, I did get afraid of exercising because of the possible consequences (12 to 24 hours of AF and AT), but I did get past this by doing enjoyable exercising - a long walk in the countryside followed by a pint in a pub!

Cheers

[Padayn01 in reply to Gladstone001]

Oh wow, that cardiac Exercise club sounds fantastic, so i just see if there is one in my local area?

[Gladstone001]

The NHF website lists about 10 clubs across England. These are run as charities and have low fees. They generally require a letter from your Doctor to get membership.

[Padayn01 in reply to Gladstone001]

Yes i saw the one in SW19 that needs a referral signature from GP, thanks so much

[Gladstone001]

Apologies, it is the British Heart Foundation website not 'NHF' !

[Strongheart143]

Magnesium Taurate is the best one for AFIB.
