Posted: 5/6/2024 11:10:00 AM Back to Top   Dr Davis has mentioned a number of times that it takes years to build up magnesium.  And some of us were dangerously low prior to dropping grains and supplementing. Tags:

Posted: 5/8/2024 6:36:34 PM Back to Top   The simple solution is to only purchase magnesium products in which the quantity of elemental magnesium is clearly specified. If it is not, don’t buy it. Tags:

Posted: 6/10/2024 7:34:39 PM Back to Top   Thanks for the additional info, hopscotch!  I usually take my mag with food, but don’t have breakfast until 10 or so (fasting).  Wondering if I should take the mag first thing anyway.  Or have a bite of something.  We’ll see. Tags:
