Hi Debbie, I've not seen an upper limit. But I haven't been looking for an upper limit because I feel that I'm chronically borderline deficient anyway. Mg seems to be the one thing that will haul me back from grumps, confusion and depression. I take a Ca+ Mg powder morning and evening and let them sort themselves out inside. Somewhere i read that it is better to take Ca in the late afternoon or early evening and to take Mg early in the morning. Then also read that Ca needs some Mg and that Mg needs a bit of Ca to be readily absorbed.
You have had some wise replies. your running out of energy could come from anywhere. I used to get "Sunday Sickness". I'd go like a Boeing, sorta, during the week and collapse over the weekend. Long afterwards figured that "Sunday Sickness" was probably due to relaxing: release of tension somehow released toxins which created a mini Herx; headache, nausea, lassitude. If only I'd known then to relax, drink more water etc Mg Dosage (min) is anyway tricky thing to establish exactly, because recommended dosage figures are usually in elemental Mg and the packages are in Magnesium Carbonate or whatever. ( I take guess that elemental Mg is about 1/2 of the actual compound ; unless it is stated. ) Also we need relatively more as we age. and absorbtion and requirements depend on other factors like Vit D consumption The RDA is 350mg per day. Krispin says 500mg per day as minimum. I googled "magnesium safe dose" and first hit was this site: http://www.krispin.com/magnes.html Recommended Dietary Allowance To compensate for deficiencies and/or losses the new RDA is expected to be 500 mg. per day. My Krispin-RDA is a total of 500-700 mg magnesium daily. Determination of optimal amounts must take into consideration both body size and activity level. Magnesium is a key component of the ATP cycle in the cell which produces all energy. Formula to Calculate Magnesium Daily Requirement- 5 to 10 milligrams per day per kilo of ideal body weight or 2.5 to 4.5 milligrams per day per pound of ideal body weight. Example: 70 kilos or 150 pounds= 350 mg. to 700 mg. daily. (Do not use these calculations for children. The requirements for children are calculated differently. Please consult with your health care professional for more information.) If one or more deficiency or loss factors are a consideration or you have any of the conditions associated with low magnesium use the higher number- you take diuretics, including potassium sparing diuretics you are an athlete in training you are diabetic you have hypertension you are post surgical you are under large amounts of stress you consume large amounts of carbohydrates you are repairing damaged tissue as in arthritis the weather is very hot, you perspire profusely you have any of the conditions listed above you are dieting with/without medications you are experiencing chronic pain you have heart disease you have high cholesterol or triglycerides hth, got to go, OK, Tony On 8 Nov 2009 at 7:00, Deborah Gerard wrote about : Subject : Re: CS>Strange question > does anyone know what the safe limit is for Mg? > > > > > ________________________________ > From: Tony Moody <a...@new.co.za> > To: silver-list@eskimo.com > Sent: Sun, November 8, 2009 12:20:56 AM > Subject: Re: CS>Strange question > > Hi Debbie, > You could be running out of Mg (or something else) during the course of > the shift. > > OK, > tony > > On 6 Nov 2009 at 19:10, Deborah Gerard wrote about : > Subject : Re: CS>Strange question > > > Thanks for your reply..I take 6-800mg's of Magnesium with calcium when I > > go to bed at night and in the morning I spray my inner arms with Mg oil > > before I go to work...wonder what gives...debbie > > > > > > > > > > ________________________________ > > From: Garnet <gar...@grandecom.net> > > To: silver-list@eskimo.com > > Sent: Fri, November 6, 2009 5:01:41 PM > > Subject: Re: CS>Strange question > > > > Muscle spasms can be a symptoms of Magnesium deficiency. > > > > Try taking Magnesium, an easy way is to use Milk of Magnesia, small > > amounts will be absorbed if you are deficient and not cause the laxative > > effect.
