Jen, What is the best source/type of magnesium to take as a daily supplement? I currently take one 100mg, High Absorption Magnesium as ( Lysinate Glycinate 100% Chelated) daily. Also 5000-10,000 IU's of D3 & 50 mg ZINC Picolinate, Vit C 4000 mg as well as Quercetin, NAC, Tumeric/Curcumin Complex, Liposomal Sulforaphane, B Complex, Vit K2/MK-7, Liposomal Glutathione, & Alpha Lipoic Acid Complex all at recommended dosage on bottles. I'm nearly 61, 112 lbs with no health issues except asthma and eat to live as opposed to live to eat ( 80% organic, Non GMO) Never vaxxed, had C19 twice but had ivermectin on hand from telemed MD, Syed Haider. I'm thinking of adding Fulvic & Humic Acid, Copper as well as Bromelain to my daily supplement regimen. I'm not asking for medical advice, just would like to know the best form of magnesium and copper to take if you know and if I should space any of these supplements apart or take them all at once? If it is more appropriate to pay you for a consultation I would be willing to do that as well because I have a lot of respect for you as an expert on nutrients. Perhaps you have a website where I could more formally consult you? I am in Michigan. Thank you for your time and for all you teach us here on Substack!

That all sounds good but not much magnesium. The chelated forms weigh more so check for the elemental amount. 400 mg a day elemental is the standard goal.

Renal losses can cause a need for that 3 times a day. Kidney patients though, not normal.

I like Epsom salt soaks as I don’t seem to absorb my dietary sources as well as I need to. I need a bath about every 5 days or I get muscle cramps and moody.

Seeing clients officially is more difficult than it might sound, to give good service. I provide info on jenniferdepew.com. *for self reading, self care.

Timing of supplements is made into a big deal, but taking them vs forgetting is a bigger deal. Usually with meals is best. I like taking Bs in the morning for active day use. I take St John's Wort in the evening as bedtime support of serotonin.

I try not to take high dose zinc with other trace mineral supplements as those do compete.
