Magnesium Tips?
Hi,
I am struggling with falling serum magnesium levels as a result of my long-term cyclosporine use. I currently supplement with 750 mg/day of Magnesium oxide, spread out in the morning and evening. Despite this level of supplementation and a current low dosage of cyclosporine, my magnesium is down to 1.3 mg/dl.
Does anyone have advice on foods that may increase (or decrease) magnesium absorption? Also, I would be interested in brands/types of magnesium that may have better absorption.
Thanks in advance for any tips!
