Magnesium

[soccermom]

I'm a bit confused regarding Magnesium. How much do you give. I have an 11 yr daughter who weighs about 75 pounds. She has been taking one capsule 200mg of Magnesium Asporotate, but I'm thinking she should be taking more. I went back and looked at several posts and didn't find a dosage listed. Any recommendations? I also wanted to note that we have been on a dairy/gluten free diet and we have seen a great improvement in 8 days. I don't want to jinx myself, but we are keeping our fingers crossed. My husband and I think she is about 75% better.

 

Thanks,

I havent heard of that form of magnesium?? so cannot comment on that

 

I have always understood that 300-400mg a day is optimal

you can check her Bontech supps product info to see how much she recommends now for a child of that weight

Hello,

My daughter is 10 and about 62lbs. We are giving her about 200mg now, but I am going to increase it to about 400mg. We use magnesium glycenate.

That is amazing that you are seeing positive results with the diet change. My daughter has been dairy free for 6 days now and we have not seen any difference at all. So frustrating... Glad to hear it is working for you though. Perhaps Gluten will be the next we eliminate.

I would try the taking out gluten. We have found so many foods and I have to say the foods are tasty! Our goal is to get her off the Intuniv but we don't want too many variables at once. There are so many forms of Magnesium out there. I bought what they recommended at our health food store, tunies. they are very knowledgeable, but it is still overwhelming. PS. I just started giving the magnesium at night instead of am!
