I did lots of research on medical studies a while ago on both Potassium and Magnesium. For Potassium, I found a chart showing the ideal range from blood tests, and too much can cause A-fib. My tests showed I was already in the good range. I am on a Keto diet -the only way I can lose or maintain weight.

Next, I turned to Magnesium, which, unless you take a huge overdose, the excess is just taken out by Kidneys in urine. I read lots of Amazon reviews with many positive reviews for heart issues, so I started taking 120mg a few times a day after having some A-fib about six months ago. I haven't had any A-fib since, although, of course, I can not tell if it was due to more Magnesium.

I use Mag glycinate, which seems to have the best reviews and isn't as likely to cause stomach issues.

Magnesium and Magnesium Taurate particularly, reportedly helps heart health. I was still having some uncomfortable ectopics some days about four months following an ablation and stated a daily supplement of magnesium. Things were greatly improved within a month, but that might have been just part of the ongoing healing process. I take the dose in the evening and my sleep has definitely improved, which is an interesting and known benefit of magnesium supplements.

How much do you take?

I took it for two periods with no discernable difference to afib, but may work for someone else, maybe its dose dependant.

How much did you take? I have been taking Mag. Taurate for a couple of weeks now, and it acts like a laxative.

There's no scientific evidence that oral magnesium ran reduce arrhythmias and it's been quite heavily studied, but it is harmless if your kidneys are working well and so always worth a try.

It seems that all forms of Mg are sufficiently well absorbed so if one type works, any form will, meaning you don't need to spend on a pricey form at all. In fact, making sure you eat a well-balanced diet with lots of vegetables, fruit, cereals and nuts will surely provide all the magnesium your body needs in its most absorbable form (i.e. as natural chlorophyll which is abundant in all vegetable matter).
