Less tremor

Daily 2,010mg magnesium l-threonate with my thiamine hcl

[aspergerian13]

Are other listmates using MgThreonate? Anecdotes and dose, please.

[mauigirl18 in reply to aspergerian13]

Yes I take it also. Magtein by Now Foods. Started with 1gram and will increase to 2 grams. Have been on for a week.

[PDConscience in reply to aspergerian13]

Yes, mag l-threonate is noticeably helpful to allay muscle cramping and stiffness, and purportedly beneficial on the cognitive front. Its ability to alleviate tremor, however, is dubious at best.

[MarionP in reply to aspergerian13]

Yes, helps quite a bit with reducing spasms (not tremor)

[hanifag]

What is the brand name

[Hidden in reply to hanifag]

Vitacost

[lempa_nik in reply to hanifag]

For mauigirl, the brand name us NOW Foods, or NOW, for short.

Can you speak to the difference in threonate versus citrate?

[CaseyInsights in reply to gaga1958]

If you search for Magnesium on the forum you will find enough info to differentiate between the types.

The short answer is L-threonate crosses the blood brain barrier- shown conclusively in a mouse model.

The Citrate version is good for bowel movements - draws water into the colon

Thxs

[AmyLindy in reply to CaseyInsights]

Great distinction!

[Rosabellazita]

I have a terrible tremor 24/7...

[Rosabellazita]

Doesn't all that magnesium make you have bowel movements??

[Hidden in reply to Rosabellazita]

No

Roy, for how long have you been experiencing less tremor with this protocol?

[Hidden in reply to ParlePark]

Magnesium, one week

[ParlePark in reply to Hidden]

Thanks!

[KERRINGTON]

Thanks, great news....and how long after taking the magnesium does it take to quell the tremors, and are you dividing the 1k Mg dose up ?

[Hidden in reply to KERRINGTON]

I noticed a mag difference over the week

I'm taking that dosage and it does nothing for my tremor. Then again, I seem to have a benign essential tremor. I've been on the Mg Threonate for about a month.

[mauigirl18]

The last two days I have a noticeable decrease in my tremors. Yesterday I was able to type on the computer much better.

[mauigirl18 in reply to mauigirl18]

I take thiamine hci as well but only 100-200mg daily.

[healthabc]

do u take mag in divided doses throughout the day, or all at once?

[Hidden in reply to healthabc]

All

[GrandNan]

Thanks Roy!

I take Doctors Best 100g x2 daily - should I up it?

[OptimusPrime]

Does magnesium l-theronate taken during the day make anyone drowsy? I often see/read magnesium described as being taken in the evening and/or at bedtime for this belief. Seems desirable to take during the day as that's when PwP experience the most tremor impact to daily function.

[AmyLindy]

Dr Terry Wahl’s recommendation is for Mag Threonate ✅

[OptimusPrime in reply to AmyLindy]

Thanks AmyLindy for the reference...seems most magnesium theronate products recommend dosing in the am and also in the pm...some give standard caution statement that sleepiness can occur.

[ParlePark]

Are you still experiencing less tremor and attribute to the mag?

[Hidden in reply to ParlePark]

I should stop mag for a time to judge

[ParlePark in reply to Hidden]

Reason I’m asking as I’ve been taking mag t for months and has not alleviated tremor at all. However my tremor has always been intermittent from non-existent to constant depending on stress, sleep, etc. the only thing improved is arm swing. Might be B1 or mannitol, I dunno but happy this has improved ! Thanks for the reply.

[chartist in reply to ParlePark]

ParlePark,

Kia 17 mentioned that the magnesium supplement he is taking has helped with sleep in the past. The one he uses has three forms of magnesium, Mag-T, Magnesium Taurate and Magnesium glycinate. You can check with him to verify the brand. I've noticed that topical mag oil on my neck and shoulder area helps a little with sleep also.

[ParlePark in reply to chartist]

Thanks Art!

[Hidden in reply to ParlePark]

I cannot say tremor stopped in retrospect. Now I only take mag L-t once a week. Thinking today I will or may take more often. Just have to decide dose level.
