magnesium taurate
Hello good morning, can someone tell me what the difference is between magnesium taurate and other kinds of magnesium. I see so many posts where where this seems to be the recommended type of magnesium to take. Thank you very much

Recommendation for a magnesium supplement
My sister has been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s disease. She has been advised by her doctor to take 400mg of magnesium per day. As there are so many brands on the market, can anyone please advise, from their own experience, a good brand that has minimum bulking agents and gluten free. Thank you.

Slightly raised ferritin, any advice please
Iron 31.0 (5.8-34.5)TIBC 51.3 (45-81) UIBC 20.6 (24.2-70.1) Transferring saturation 60.6 (20-50) Ferritin 203 (13-150) Crp 4.15 (0-5) Can I ask your advice please? As advised on here a few months ago I rechecked my iron levels in December, hoping to have some reason for continuing ectopic heartbeats.

Ectopics in the night
I wake early every morning and this time I had a couple of ectopics which sent me into a panic, which increased the ectopics. The usual fear of dying comes over me. I tried to calm down with camomile tea, slow breathing and finally diazepam, but it took 2 and a half hours before I felt more settled

PIP advice please
hi all some of you know my story but I’ve had PAF for 29 years about 8 times in that period. I went back in AF in August and went on regime of Flecainide, Metropolol and Apixiban. Decided to do Cardioversion end of September after being on drugs for a month. Went off all drugs after a few weeks told

More recent bloods & dose increase
After my last post regarding my private blood tests, my Endo increased my levo to 100/125 alternate days. I've just had more blood tests, 6 weeks on through the Endo so no Ft3 and again he says they're in range! I really lost my sh*t and got out my list and explained how I've been feeling since having

High Dose Niacin (Nicotinic Acid) and Hashimoto's?
Update 01/22/2023: I just learned there is an increased risk of diabetes on niacin therapy: https://heart.bmj.com/content/102/3/198 This study was based on people taking Niacin for cardiovascular reasons, which I think would be dosed at 500 to 6000 mg a day: https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements

Magnesium
I’ve regularly been given magnesium in the form of a powder dissolved in water here in the Basildon Cardiothoracic Centre. When I asked one of the nurses why, she said “it’s good for AF”. I know that many people here take a magnesium supplement here for that reason but I thought it would be useful to

An interesting observation about anxiety and constipation
I've had increasing trouble evacuating, but I've recently discovered something interesting that may or may not be useful to others. I hope it will. I use vitamin C and magnesium citrate to help the process along, but even with that, I found I was having trouble and that made me feel --- STRESSED, ANXIOUS

B-12 is Low (398), Folate is High, HCY is 55.6, uMMA is 1.7 , vitamin D and C and Magnesium are Low, all B vitamins are low.
Why is the GP not taking my labs seriously, I've been taking methylcobalamin tablets for a year and just began 5-MTHF because of Folate Deficiency found in my DNA, GP declined to do a MMA Blood serum test, I have been allergic to milk and beef since birth, peanuts followed with life threatening allergies

Best Form of Magnesium Supplement
Interested in folks opinions on this. Looking to start taking Mg Supplement but confused about the relative positive/negatives for each type. L-threonate being talked up as it crosses the BBB and has slowed neural decline in mice - but quite pricey compared to say Malate or Glycimate. Aged 50, diagnosed
