I found this really great company.
I called them to ask about how they made their products and I was impressed. They are GMO project verified and when you eat their supplements, you are eating a whole food. I started off with the plain magnesium and what was explained to me, was that, the yeast eat the magnesium and they bottle it up we eat the yeast, which is full of magnesium.
I read on another site that you should take about 450 mg per day for about 20 days and then drop down to about 100 mg per day. The site suggested time released. I just spread the capsules
out to ever 2 - 4 hours during the day. A consult with your doctor is recommended
here, for blood work. I will be doing this shortly myself to find out what minerals
I am deficient in.
I found that in 2 days, the muscle cramps in my legs and feet stopped. I had become deficient in Magnesium, and probably potassium and salt also. because of eating the "Ketogenic way", this is what happens until your body gets used to eating this way. Just from my continuing research.
I just purchased the combination supplement containing Calcium, Magnesium and Potassium, by "Mega Food". I am totally pleased with how this works.
AND, NO, I DID NOT GET PAID FOR TELLING YOU ABOUT THIS! Smile!

"NOTE: if you have kidney problems or kidney failure, don't take oral magnesium supplements without checking with your doctor. "
Form the reading that I have done, never take mineral supplements that are derived from "ROCKS". This will do more harm than good. Plant based is the best.
This is a very good site for understanding the Keto way of eating.
