Thank you so much for sharing your experience of what appears to have been a journey spanning years.
Could you tell me what the mag/cal connection is? Many mag supplements come with cal. I've always been told that calcium is bad as it can cause neuro excitotoxcity. There's a phase tossed about in the natural health community: "If glutamate is the gun, calcium is the bullet."
I began to think that my problem with magnesium actually reflected an inability to supply sufficient calcium. Sure enough, once I was supplementing calcium, I could tolerate the magnesium again.

Somewhere around this time Freddd started writing about refeeding syndrome and this tied in with what I had been thinking about nutrient depletion.[/QUOTE
Very informative read. So supplying a nutrient/vitamin/mineral can cause, in some cases, a critical depletion in others. This seems to be at the core of you having to increase/eliminate other cofactors.
To cut what is already a long story short, adding more biotin opened the floodgates. This had now become my most limiting nutrient.[/QUOTE
Currently I am taking 50 mg daily in divided doses.
This is a hundred times the dose in Pure Encapulations B-Complex! I'm thinking I may have to take cofactors separately to determine what I may be lacking. What kind of B2 do you take and how much?
