7 Ways to Make Magnesium More Effective

7 Ways to Make Magnesium More Effective

Here are some tips to help your body hold onto more magnesium.

After a 30 Day Magnesium Soaking Challenge, you want your magnesium test to be a 5.0 or higher. 

  1. Remember, you want to finish your 30 Day Magnesium Soaking Challenge and then test your magnesium levels within 3-5 days.

  2. Increasing your taurine and splitting it into two doses will be more effective. Powdered taurine is easier to absorb. I don't recommend the capsules or pills in most scenarios. Taurine is an amino acid that helps magnesium stay in your cells. 

  3. Increasing your boron levels through food and/or supplementation can help to lower inflammation and allows magnesium to enter the cell. (People with PCOS should avoid boron)

  4. Increasing your B vitamins through food and/or supplementation. If you are using supplements, taking a methylated version of B vitamins allows your body to utilize it more efficiently. B vitamins help magnesium get into your cell.

  5. Think about adding L-Glutamine in powdered form for the easiest consumption. I would add this alongside a 30 Day Magnesium Soaking Challenge and then test within three days of completing the challenge. 

  6. Uric acid levels also keep magnesium levels down. Make sure you are testing your uric acid levels and keeping them under 5.5. 

  7. Keeping your morning blood sugar in the 80s will also save more magnesium in your body. Evaluate the amount of sugar and processed carbs that you eat everyday.
