In my case have severe Mg deficiency, and need to supplement 2 g/d of elemental Mg just to avoid muscle-cramps. But this whooping dose still didn't helped to get blood levels up in my case. Best get tested here too.

Forget to mention that the usually recommended dose is about 400-800 mg/d. Side-effects for higher than tolerated doses is diarrhea. Most experience this side-effects faster with Mg-oxide or citrate, while Mg-malate or glycinate seems to be better tolerated. The UL for Mg is exceptionally low at 350 mg/d.

Is it possible that as one get healthier with the Vit C intake that the dose has to be reduced as one might get diarrea?

Also, as I mentioned earlier, I am taking vit C 15g a day and it was recommended that I increment that dose to bowel intolerance. How exactly do I do that?

One more thing:

The vit C I have is powdered and I dissolve it in orange juice. I'm trying to cut on processed foods, so how else can I take Vit C and L-Lysine that are powdered?

Thank you.

Yes.

The way I did: Take smaller doses more frequently, for convenience for example every 2 hours. If that goes well the first day, increase the individual doses the next day. And so on the next days, till you get the first liquid stool, then leave out the next dose, and again continue 4 hours later with the lower dose before your stool got liquid.

I mix it with water (or magnesium rich mineral water), all other supplements I purchase in powder form, like amino acids: lysine, proline, arginine, beta-alanine, creatine, taurine.. Or Ayurvedic powdered herbs, and because these are very bitter, pungent, astringent all at the same time, I need a pinch of stevia extract to sweeten it all up.

Ok. Thank you again.

I asked about the diarreah, because I have had a whole week of diarreah, and now it seems i am beginning to get a bit better. The dr states that I have two blockages in my left leg, so I don't think I am getting better to the point that I need to lower the vit C dose...I'll wait until I am OK, and see that up my dose of C.

Thanks again.

Hello dear Sirs:

Since coming here in 2015 I have been doing well, but now I have developed heart failure because of water retention. Sometime ago I started to take Sodium Ascorbate and I was wondering if it would be better to take another form of Vit C?

Thanks in advance.

now I have developed heart failure because of water retention.

Question #1. Are you still taking any statin drugs?

Question #2, How much Coenzyme Q10 are you taking?

We understand that in Europe, heart failure is considered a Coq10 deficiency disease, and thus treated with at least 200 mg of CoEnzyme Q10. You might consider expert recommendations to start with a dosage around 1200 mg, divided throughout the day. To be absorbed,CoQ10 must be taken when you eat fats (bile is required). The dosage can be tapered down as your water retention resides.

i inject coQ10 1ml at 25mg

Thank you all who replied. In June will be a year since I am off all medications.

I've added:
Krill oil 1000mg
Total Omega 3 fatty acids 200mg
20:5 EPA 120mg
22:6 DHA 80mg
Phospholipids 200mg
Astaxanthin 200mcg

Ubiquinol Kaneka QH 100mg

Vit K2 from Natto 100mcg

Vit D3 5000IU

Vit A 10000 IU

Vit E mixed tocopherols d not dl nor tocopheryl 3600 IU a day. I was taking 3000IU but with this accumulation of fluid in my lungs my HBP incremented so I am upping my intake of E gradually by 200IU until it is controlled.
I am changing Sodium Ascorbate for Calcium Ascorbate with calcium as ascorbate 145mg, magnesium as ascorbate, zinc as ascorbate 2mg and potassium as ascorbate 365 mg

I am taking 12000mg of vit c a day. I am thinking to bring it down to 9000 or even 6000mg

What do you all think?

Thanks in advanced.
