Interesting article about other vitamins to take with magnesium, i just bought a liquid formula from Floradix called Saludynam which has calcium, zinc , magnesium and vitamin D hopefully this does the trick!!!!

[greygoose in reply to dzmum]

Except... it has calcium in it. The first article talks about the dangers of supplementing with calcium. Your much more likely to be magnesium deficient than calcium deficient, because there's more calcium around. But what the Saludynam lacks, and what is essential, is vit K2.

[dzmum in reply to greygoose]

can u supplement with K2? looking at the label there is not much of any of the vitamins in to be honest.... i bought the liquid iron with the vitamins in it and then i seen this one and decided to try it.......

[greygoose in reply to dzmum]

No, that's true, there's not much of anything. You would need more magnesium than that.

Yes, you can supplement with K2. I take NOW vit K2, 100 mcg veg capsules, that I bought on Amazon.

This is the one I take, and I like it. I know B6 can be a problem for some people.

Hi greygoose, what size are these capsules? I tried some magnesium tablets which are huge and even broken I am struggling to swallow so I wondered if these would be a more ' normal' capsule size? Thanks

[greygoose in reply to WobblyX]

Sorry, but they're huge, too. I've never seen magnesium tablets that weren't huge.

[WobblyX in reply to greygoose]

I have found this liquid one on Amazon but it has two types of magnesium in it so not sure if it would be suitable, it is

Floradix Magnesium Liquid Mineral Supplement ...would you know anything about it?

[helvella Administrator in reply to WobblyX]

It is very expensive!

Each bottle of 250mL is just a standard dose for 2 and a half days. And costs £6.50.

On top of that, the dose only contains 250 milligrams of magnesium, which isn't a particuallry large dose.

Floradix are masters of producing a pleasant form of a substance that ends up costing far more than most other products.

[greygoose in reply to helvella]

That is horrific!

[WobblyX in reply to helvella]

Thanks helvella! Think I'll just be breaking these big ones up into bits then😊

[helvella Administrator in reply to WobblyX]

There are other options such as magnesium powder - search and you will find several suppliers. Check exactly what it is before you buy.

[WobblyX in reply to helvella]

Will do, that sounds like a good option, thank you

[Hidden in reply to WobblyX]

I use Natural Calm, which is a powder that you stir into a glass of water. Still an expensive way to buy magnesium but I can tolerate it better than the tablets. It's on Amazon, but you might find it cheaper elsewhere amazon.co.uk/Peter-Gillhams...

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

I forgot to say, there are different versions. At least one version includes calcium, which is not a good idea, so do check before you commit to buy.

[WobblyX in reply to helvella]

I have got a magnesium powder which contains magnesium citrate and magnesium carbonate....will that be ok to take four hours away from levo? Thanks!

[greygoose in reply to WobblyX]

Six hours away would probably be better.

[dzmum]

It was just a general comment about vitamins!!!! I am just trying to take all the vitamins that people on here advise to try and get a little better....

[greygoose in reply to dzmum]

ok, no need to shout. lol
