Magnesium intake

[Svenderschreckliche]

I don't notice any fatigue from the citrate.

Interesting thread. I only take 400mg mag glycinate in the PM but reading these posts I might add more. Does it make you guys sleepy if you take an AM dose or do you just take it all at night?

Usually all at night, theoretically the Glycine in the Glycinate would help sleep so it makes more sense (atleast to me) to take it around then

Are the higher doses just for sleep benefits? I don't have problems sleeping (other than waking to pee, very annoying).

Looks like Costco sells a chelated magnesium glycinate (not bisglycinate like many other "glycinate" supps) by Qunol that's also priced pretty competitively.

You burn through magnesium pretty fast on gear, stress lowers magnesium, low magnesium causes more stress, it's a doomed cycle. I usually try to keep the magnesium high just cuz

Magnesium won’t make you sleepy. It will help you get better quality sleep if you’re deficient though, which something like 60% of people (in the US) are.

I did 200 up to 1000 bys before sleep with 0 difference from more then 1 brand just in case

I take 210mg at night. Sometimes i'll double it to 420mg and add in a potassium supplement if I eat a salty dinner. This helps prevent sodium blow up and with a ton of water i'll piss it all out over night while avoiding blood pressure spikes.

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)

When I maxed out my reta dosage at 10mg per week, I was getting really really bad orthostatic hypotension. AKA i'd black out from standing up too quickly. I had to start supplementing salt of all the things alongside potassium and magnesium in order to prevent this.
I'm back down at 4mg now and dietary salts are enough to keep me going but I still supplement potassium in the morning and magnesium at night.

I have to supplement salt too for some reasson its always way to low for me and potasium borderline high

Reta induced severe natriuresis in me, and my sodium dropped to 132... hated that stuff. Tirz induces natriuresis but to a much lesser extent. I still supplement a ton of sodium on it, I literally pee it all out so fast...

That glucagon stuff is still so rough. Tirz is so much smoother IME

It's also harder to stay "full" on them, I feel constantly ever so flat since starting, Reta was worse

I kind of like that effect. Makes it easier to keep water weight off and helps you get over a salty meal.

But yeah it's pretty crazy. I'm looking forward too going back to tirz .

What dose were you at for reta?

What dose were you at for reta?

Went up to 7mgs. Dealt with Glucagon aspect issues at doses 3+

That threshold sounds about right. 4mg per week is where most hct data showed glucagon impact. I'm at 4mg per week now and making sure I'm taking in substantial electrolytes and water.

If any of you guys ever gets constipated, it's going to take a small army to disimpact your shit.

definitely no constipation issues yet, if anything the opposite

The joke is that Mg2+ in the bowel is used as the first response for refractory constipation, when gentle stuff hasn't worked. The fellas walking around with molar concentrations in their fluids would need to open a mine in their bowels to induce the osmotic response required to flush the poop chute.
