MTHFRade & electrolytes: tips & tricks

[Gondwanaland]

I would also like to add a warning re potassium bicarbonate: it can stop your heart at pretty low doses. I could not stand up for a couple of hours after taking less than 30mg.

How much do you drink per day? During exercise (if applicable)?

@Sherpa I generally drink one sipped through the day. If I'm feeling especially fatigued, dehydrated or have been sweating heaps, I drink two, but would only add the iodine/selenium to one.

@Sherpa I also take mag glycinate as well as spritzing a bit of mag chloride oil, so I don't try to get my mag in my electrolyte drink.

1/4 teaspoon sound about right?

@Gyre Awesome... I also take 133mg of magnesium glycinate 4 times a day and do about 4 squirts of magnesium oil as underarm deodorant. That's why your inexpensive recipe with just K/Na is so appealing! The probiotics and mineral add-ons are great, too.

I ordered the LoSalt and MangaPower creatine. Curious to see how creatine works. I have weak and soft muscle tone. I can build muscle hardness up briefly but it deteriorates and turns mushy if as soon as I have an inflammatory episode. Which happens

If you mean sodium bicarbonate, I would start with 1/8 tsp. About potassium bicarb, I would satay away from this stuff!

@Sherpa I buy my LoSalt at the grocery store in the salt aisle. Of course, I live in NZ...

My understanding is that creatine initiates ATP production, whilst D-Ribose sustains it, so I use both. http://www.naturalhealthresearch.org/creatine-ribose-for-atp-production/

Anyone try magnesium l-threonate yet? It's supposed to be able to penetrate to mitochondria.

How you you all feel about the d-ribose and creatine in the MTHFRade...?

People prone to hypoglycemia may need to take d-ribose with food.

I take Mg l-threonate. Like most things I take, I cannot tell any difference. I take it on faith.

any other ideas on how to increase atp safely? maybe this helps to clear brainfog by increasing glutamate transport in the brain? I would guess that cardio and weights would also increase ATP production
