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.
- Remember, you want to finish your 30 Day Magnesium Soaking Challenge and then test your magnesium levels within 3-5 days.
- 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.
- 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)
- 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.
- 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.
- Uric acid levels also keep magnesium levels down. Make sure you are testing your uric acid levels and keeping them under 5.5.
- 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.
