Magnesium intake

[riggspersonal]

For those of you on multiple compounds, how many mg of magnesium are you supplementing daily? I'm currently on 250mg test c, 4mg reta, 3iu hgh, which seemingly all increase magnesium need for varying reasons. Been taking 200mg in AM and 200mg before bed, but considering upping it.

Testosterone - accelerated protein synthesis and ATP hydrolysis
Retatrutide - glucagon agonism and diuresis
HGH - GH to IGF-1 production process and subsequent anabolic signaling process and GH sodium retention (while reta is promoting sodium excretion)

I take 1.6g Mag Glycinate pre bed but I'm looking to up it soon to 3g

I did! But I didn't read through all of it yet. And damn! That's a lot of magnesium. How is your stool?

I'm still going on a regular haha

I usually take it all an hour or two pre bed; I sleep pretty well doing so, and don't feel the inherent urge to go lol. I might just be falling asleep before I get that urge but I instantly go in the mornings (sorry if that's TMI...)

But overall I think higher doses of Glycinate are crucial on gear and stimulants, from 1g of Mag Glys. you get around 200mg elemental magnesium, you'd need to take a LOT to get a good dose of elemental Magnesium

I take 400 mg magnesium glycinate twice a day. Stools on point I may up it to 3 doses a day for a total of 1200 mg a day for some better sleep aid.

Fuck it, going to up it and see how things go.

The bysglicanate and glycinate shouldnt make u shit your pants

 

[Almoister]

If im not mistaken maily magnesium citrate and hydroxide do that, those dont do shit for sleep too i think? Since they dont pass tru brain take it with grain of salt

Anecdotally I feel like I remember taking 400mg of mag glycinate right before bed and having bad diarrhea the next morning.

Hmm maybe purity thing? Or they sold u other mby citrate? Most comapnies are not 3th párty tested or dont post their tests from what i have seen they get away with too much shit

The most trusted suplement brand in my country for example claimes they test everything but never show the tests and when i asked them if i Can see them they said their stuff is tested but cannot show it to me lol, indian scammers are more trustworthty
