[Guest Guest_B_N123]

Chemar, especially, i know you have mentioned the zinc and magnesium combination before.

[Chemar]

I am getting ready to leave for the airport and wont be back till late tonite so will answer in detail then.

 

 

Best combo for adult (12 and older >100lbs) is

 

100mgcalcium:500mg magnesium: 50mg zinc.

 

 

People who have pyroluria issues usually need to take higher zinc, with Vit B6

 

back tomorrow

OOOOPS

 

In my rush to respond before flying out I made a major TYPO

 

 

that should read ONE THOUSAND MG OF CALCIUM TO 500MG OF MAGNESIUM!!

 

sorry!

One more thing. Try the magnesium taurate instead of just plain magnesium. Apparently it works better in that combo.

is that for mild tourette? or severe?

do you think i should begin with something less than 1000mg? or go 4 the combination you have stated

What Chemar gave you for calcium is the daily recommended dosage of calcium for adults (nothing to do with tics), and this site is pretty conservative:

Requirements/Sources

Although there are some variations between recommendations issued by different groups, the official U.S. and Canadian recommendations for daily intake of calcium are as follows:

 

 

Children 1–3 years, 500 mg

4–8 years, 800 mg

Males and females 9–18 years, 1,300 mg

19–50 years, 1,000 mg

51 years and older, 1,200 mg

Pregnant women 1,000 mg (1,300 mg if under 19 years old)

Nursing women 1,000 mg (1,300 mg if under 19 years old)

If that dosage concerns you, just start with 500 mg/250 mg. If you are giving that much zinc, the literature I read said to check for induced copper deficiencies later. But don't add copper otherwise--usually bad for tic syndromes.
