Well Jeff… Good Afternoon!!!😃
Before I contacted you, I took a dose of 2 Life Extension Extend-release Magnesium pills: 500mg and a 2 Doctors Best High Absorption Magnesium pills: 200mg. That’s a total of 700mg. And after hearing back from you the first time took it again. And when I woke up at 11pm and saw the last emails, took them again.
Jeff, all day I was dragging around in pain from my hips down to my feet, even had a bad headache.
My calf hurt the worst. I started to feel so weak. This morning at 5am…. No pain! And I don’t feel weak this morning. Amazing!
So you think I should up my Magnesium to 500mg 3x a day? Or keep it at 700mg?
What about the K2? I have Life Extension: Super K Elite and Super K. how much should I take?to push Calcium back in to the bones?
Thanks so much for making me feel better 😃. I have so much to do this month and now I can do most of it😜Thank You,
Donita W
hi there
great news
you absolutely need to keep taking magnesium for a year to fully reverse a magnesium deficiency
keep taking higher doses until you get diarrhea extended release is best as you want it in your blood all day long
if the diarrhea lasts more than a week cut the dose back until you get just loose stools
stay at that amount for about a year
you can probably start taking d3 again in 2 months
you should take lots of k2 to push the calcium back into your bones ( but don’t worry too much
it takes along time for d3 to cause excess calcium in the blood maybe 5 months or so and it is very rare
high dose d3 causing magnesium deficiency is much more common and occurs quickly)
you can get a really big k2 pill from www.lef.org called mega K which has 45,000 mcg of k2 = 45 mg
you also want to add zinc picolinate 50 to 100 mg a day and boron maybe 12 mg 2x a day
unless you have arthritis then you want to take 30 mg 2x a day also take a beta carotene pill each day or eat some carrots
also with zinc picolinate you might want to get a copper supplement and take 8mg a day GNC sells a good 2 mg copper pill
