magnesium taurate

[MARYANN]

Hi, Can some one help me with this. My daughter is on the digestive enzymes. Working great for couple of weeks then stopped. She is back to being constapaited all the time. Called my doctor and asked should I give her magnesium. He told me to give her 200-300 mg and still take digestive enzymes. So for the past hour I have been reading about the megnesium taurate. It sounds great, I think im going to take it myself. Well any way i always get so confused with the dosages. I always go to the stores and leave with nothing. So, I want to try to find out the information before I go. Can any one helpme with the dosage of taurine. If I give her Magnesim I have to give her calcium , right? She is already taking D vitamin in her mul-ti. She has b6 in her mul-ti. So what would be the does to get for calcium And Megnuisum taurate. Do they sell low does of Calcium. She does have yogurt and milk shakes alot. I want the magnusim to help with her bowel movements and im afraid the calcum will just make her constipated. I apologize for so many questions. Thank you

it is so hard to suggest doses, especially not knowing age/weight of a child, and also even in the same weight and age range, individuals can have very different doseage needs depending on their own biochemiistry/metabolism etc

 

my son had the equivalent of 500mg each of magnesium and taurine in separate capsules but he was 11 yo and over 100 lbs. we gave magnesium in a combo with 1000mg calcium and 50 mg zinc, but the qaddtition of extra calcium need not be exact in the 2:1 ratio if there is a good dietary calcium intake.

Hi Chamar,

Thanks so much for the information. I just took a look at everything my daughter is taking and I never noticed before , she is taken Taurine. She takes Glutathiol, this has 500mg of taurine per serving and my daughter takes it twice a day. Is 1000mg too much taurine in your opionion.

Since your son is taken 500 mg. Her weight is 102 and she is 13.

Do you have any recommendations for megnesium now, now im really confused what to get.

Kids calm? Does that have calcuim ? Do you think because my daughter has poor absortion its alright to tak 1000mg. I do know your not a doctor,I want you to know that . I just want your opioion. Im always worrying if im doing the right thing.

 

Thanks for your help Maryann
