Sorry to resurrect an old discussion, but the context seemed right. I'm having some problems that might be magnesium related, so I'm rereading Carolyn Dean's Magnesium Miracle. I had problems before with heart rhythm when I found Dean, increased mag considerably, found I was overdosing oxalate so switched from vegan to carnivore. Heart settled down, reduced mag from 2000 to 1200. Now I'm getting morning ankle cramps, especially after hard workouts, which respond well to mag oil, so I'm increasing mag but wondering if something else is eating my magnesium. Carolyn says vitamin d activates calcium which competes with magnesium, and the cramps seem to have started when I began increasing D. So I'm trimming calcium and D to see if that helps the cramps. I've never had an rbc mag test, which Carolyn asserts is the only accurate way to determine mag deficiency. I'll get that done soon.
Do you supplement mag for your high dose D patients, and have you seen mag related symptoms?
I want to keep my D up, and I miss spinach, but the mag deficient symptoms are more troubling. I guess we can't have everything.
