Magnesium tablets.....

[Chae1]

Magnesium citrate was it? I changed to a different form for the same reason, no problems since.

It was Holland and Barrat stuff. I don't think I've thrown bottle out yet, will check.

I was almost shitting myself every morning while taking them. To the point I had a box in my sprayer filling area to $h!te in.

As long as you recorded it with Red Tractor

Quite glad this thread has come up again as I have something to add.

Be very careful taking magnesium tablets. They had a very adverse affect on my digestion system.

No way I would make it to a toilet.

Since I stopped taking them it hasn't happened.

Beware!

Wouldn't surprise me to learn that these things tend to be harsh on your stomach or guts.

Well the water company and loo roll manufacturers did well out of them by the sounds of it.

Magnesium oxide is poorly absorbed by humans but it’s cheap, which is why it’s used so much in cheaper tablets. Waste of time taking those even if they weren’t giving you the shiits.

Salt really isn’t a problem, unless you’re one of those hypersensitive to salt. Humans naturally consume around 12-15 g/day but the health experts have scared everyone into thinking they’ll die if the eat more than 6g. It’s all based around the idea that salt influences blood pressure and that is the only thing of any importance. The issue is that if you eat less than 6g per day then your mortality rate goes up compared to 12g. And the really daft things is that if you restrict yourself to below 6g then you may move your blood pressure by 1 or 2% at most. Reducing sugar consumption has a much bigger effect with other benefits alongside. The Australians have removed salt as a nutrient of concern from their health recommendations. So much of health advice is beyond bizarre.

I’d link a metanalysis about this here for you but I’m away from my puter at the moment and so don’t have it to hand.

Edit, here is one study to get you started, remember that sodium needs to be multiplied by something like 2.5 to some to salt amount.


Fatigue brings cramps on with me. Feel those electrical twltches coming on.
One one occasion I had to go on a drip for something else and the cramp tendencies just faded away. I put it down to the salt in the drip.

I only ever get cramp when skiing which a bit weird as I’m not really sweating. Must be due to the altitude having some sort of an effect. Plenty of salt sorts it though.

Most supplements be it minerals or vitamins are a complete waste of time if you have a mixed diet but a massive placebo effect.
Magnesium is a very effective laxative as is methylcellulose so no wonder a change of trousers needed. Unless you have a proven deficiency then save your money

They do that naturally if you overdose hence you can’t really overdose. You need to find the dose amount that suits you. I had similar but now take 750mg a day and no more trumping then going oh f**k!
