I am sorry, I don't know the answers to your questions. I start "X" low and go up gradually to tolerance. When the benefits of "X" stop, I stop "X" supplementation. As for magnesium, it is very personal the form and amount that work for every one.Just read your Balancing Nutrients link. I'm getting ready to start Fredd's protocol and there doesn't seem to be much info about calcium and magnesium intake.
My WBC/RBC counts are boringly normal, I don't even bother to check them any more, so no correlation that I am aware of.have you ever correlated RBC/WBC counts with ox crises
Start with magnesium, particularly if you suffer from glutamate excitotoxicity. Magnesium antagonises the NMDA receptor.
And you have read only the 1st page... That site helps to recognize the symptoms you get from the specific minerals and vitamins. Although it isn't exhaustive, it has helped me immensely.Once again this great balancing act. Sigh.
Perhaps vit D supp is driving it up.My Mg is 63.6 (30.1-56.5).
If that is ng/mL I don't think it is low despite the range (the range in my country is > 30 ng/mL).My 25-OH Vit D is low, 40 (50-100)
Indeed IMHO there are few tests that lead to significant conclusions (but they very from person to person).I wonder if this is even necessary if I go on a symptom based protocol.

In my experience a headache is low B2. In fact, taking B2 reduces the need for supplemental potassium according to this thread (hormone related).I wonder about the headache tho?
Despite the fact they aren't measured in the same units?marginal calcium status was reflected in a high 1,25 diOH vit D to 25 OH vit D ratio

Sorry for the info
In my experience taking vitamins was the factor increasing the need for minerals.This is the proverbial chicken or the egg scenario. I'm trying to get potassium and magnesium in place before starting B protocol.

I craved salt - high doses of vitamins taxed the adrenalsSo when you started on B vitamins, could you feel the need for certain minerals? How could you tell which minerals were being depleted?
My 25-OH Vit D is low, 40 (50-100). I don't know why. I'm taking 4,000 iu/day. NatureMade. Maybe the test was taken before I started supplementing
So I don't see how calculating a ratio between them would be meaningful.
I had 1/2 teaspoon of potassium glyconate and immediately got a stomach and headache.
