Testing magnesium is unreliable. About 99% of magnesium is stored in bone, muscles and soft tissues, leaving about 1% in the blood. So testing what's in the blood isn't giving an accurate picture of our magnesium status.

A red cell magnesium test is the better indicator of magnesium status, not the standard serum magnesium test.

If you want to read the science, this information is from this article:

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articl...

Magnesium comes in different forms, check to see which would suit you best and as it's calming it's best taken in the evening, four hours away from thyroid meds if taking magnesium as tablets/capsules, no necessity if using topical forms of magnesium.

Thankyou very interesting read, had no idea how much magnesium does in the body, i have had lowish platelets and mild thrombosis for years which always flags in my bloods, had no idea magnesium plays a role in bone marrow and platelets.
