[dee45]

Hello,

Does anyone know what the dose of Taurine would be for a 9 year old that weighs 69 pounds??

Thanks again.

I believe it is suggested 500mg per day Dee but best check with a doctor or refer to Bonnie Grimaldi's site to see what she recommends at http://www.bonniegr.com (look under products where you will find her mag taurate)

Shoul I give the mg-taurate in addition to the magnesium supplement? I am so confused==his little head is just ticking away--please help!!

Hi Deanna

so sorry all this is happening

 

I really recommend you look at Bonnie's site to get an idea of the dose recommendations there....it's nigh impossible for any of us to be sure of correct doses as people get these in from various sources and have unique biochemistry/metabolism.

 

we were told to take around 400mg TOTAL supplemental magnesium but that may vary with individuals. also because your child is also on clonidine that brings in other variables.

 

My son takes his multi shake mix ( Jarrow Multi Food Powder) in the mornings and has natural calm at night and uses frequent epsom salts (warm soaked cloth, or cream, or foot bath or full soak) when he feels a waxing mode

 

do be careful with amino acids while on meds too. Bonnie has some info on her site about which aminos to avoid

 

 

 

I am hearing more and more that taking magnesium at the same time as calcium is possibly not a good idea and Kim posted something recently too that the times for the two supps should be separated.

 

I do hope things stabilize soon.
