...with COVID in similar ways, and relying on several years of stoking up my Vit D, MK-7, calcium (does a whole lot more than build bones), potassium etc etc etc .... a lot of it is in the AM 'Tea' that I PM'd you, it seems like eons ago. I cant even remember if it was pre- or post-COVID. Or...

...is that magnesium requires vitamin B6. i believe it increases cellular uptake of mg into the cells. similiar like thiamin / B1 does for potassium. some mg supplements have added b6 for that reason. you could have a B6 deficiency as well now (i do btw). maybe this is what you experience...

I use BulkSupplements potassium gluconate. It's in powdered form, which allows me to titrate my dose daily depending on how I feel or how much I think I need at the time, which is why I prefer the loose powder to a capsule, where your dose is predetermined and changing the amount is a messy...

i actually like the robin hood mentality. any recommendations?

Patti, the way I found the bit of info about hepcidin is I did a search on selenium + iron because of having read about selenium, thyroid, and hashimoto's. See if this study means anything to the topic. I realize they use "weight" as a means to study and talk about it, but only because obesity...

...the muscle or the brain cannot dilate and cannot increase blood flow when they need more O2 and Glucose. Because of insulin resistance your muscle cells and brain cells can't uptake the glucose and potassium they need. Inflammation also causes high hepcidin and low blood iron, often associated.

...idea :lol::lol::lol::lol:.... It's possible, and stranger things have happened .... In what I call my morning electrolyte tea, I use potassium gluconate, about 1/16th teaspoon of sea salt, MSM, bamboo extract great source of silica) and a boatload of other stuff to try to get my day off to...

...low serum levels. idk. we will see. i dont have blood serum hypercalcemia anymore. it used to be borderline high, but since this year it is declining. a few month ago when we also did measure the 4ng/ml VD, calcium was borderline low. mg low. sodium low (used to be high as well). potassium low.

Yes Ginger, I have difficulties to maintain levels of iron, vit D and vit B12; and I have to take orally high amount of iron everydays.

...an iron supplement every day like I do? Do you have trouble maintaining normal blood levels of other things? I have to take daily iron, potassium, Vit D, and B-12 in order to maintain normal blood levels. I think it's some kind of absorption problem? I never connected it to a thyroid issue?

...Choline deficiency has been mentioned as one cause of it. Citicoline has a lower amount of phosphorus. Phosphorus can cause constipation and cramping in high amounts. Lecithin and phosphatidylcholine have a lot of phosphorus. Magnesium is used as a laxative. Potassium can be used as one.

...except sugar and high cholesterol. my doctor really said this. they do not care if values are in ranges. they do not see trends. even when potassium and phosphorus were below they didnt care. "i eat too less, i should treat my (non existing) bulimia". When I had low phosphorus it normalized...

This looks strange, when now calcium is low normal as is sodium. Potassium is normal. I wonder what phosphorus is now. Perhaps the empagliflozin caused low sodium. Have you had parathyroid hormone checked ? PTH I'm trialing Ubiqinol to stabilize and lower BP. It still fluctuates too much...

somehow everything is low now. yes, sodium/natrium is low now. but it used to be sodium=upper mid range, calcium=borderline high, potassium=midlow. phosphorus=low or toolow, magnesium=midlow

that sounds very similiar to mine. i believe it also beeing calcium which is the problem, or another electrolyte. sadly i do not tolerate calcium supplements at all or anything else in that regard like bor. even V.D is really hard for me. i get muscle pain, and my symptoms overall tend to get...

@LINE , Vitamin D, Magnesium, and Potassium increase NO and are protective of it. Unfortunately, low NO isn't the only cause of hypertension.

This happened to me yesterday. I took extra potassium and magnesium and blood pressure went high. Awoke at 2 am with cramps and numbness in lower legs. This happens when my calcium is low. I took extra calcium chelate and felt better in an hour or so. BP is 120-130/ 81-84 today, but was high...

i have high blood pressure, 150/100 +/- 10 . its weird, its getting higher on the next day when i took magnesium or potassium. also vitamin D and b-complex do rather rise then lower it. i am vitamin D deficient. though taking VD doesnt change it. i am also diabetic but i am not sure how its...

How can I tell I've had this for a long time? Every year, when I had my annual physical, the blood tests would show high potassium levels. Then they would have me come back and get retested repeatedly. When the retesting showed a number in the normal range then nothing would happen. At the...

Calcium work for me as well. Try with magnesium if calcium by itself does not work. GABA as sublingual works wonders (this is not taken orally but under the tongue). Other ones include, Sleepy Time tea, valerian, lemon balm, CBD oil. I also find that some methionine helps when dealing with...

...to sleep pretty well now. It may change, but I'll risk posting about it anyway. Taking calcium chelate for over a year now has been the strongest factor for regular sleep . Potassium still helps a little. Before calcium chelate, I couldn't tolerate magnesium, but now I can, if not too much.

Hence the excess phosphorus has similar effects to oxalate

...research points to excess phosphate as the main cause. Calcium gets yanked along. I would recommend getting enough calcium, magnesium, and potassium. Also, there's some research about vitamin k1 and k2 to prevent and possibly reverse calcifications. It's controversial. I've been massaging...

Some substances just plain burn, no matter how or where they're give. Potassium is a perfect example. Even via IV you can feel the burn from it.....most unpleasant. The meds or supplements aren't exactly a joy either. I'll pay more attention to my Vit. B-12 abdominal shots, but yes....make...

Hi @shock_master - see post #8 right above your last one where I describe what I'm taking :nerd: Also, you might be able to get your doctor to prescribe a phosphorous supplement so insurance could pay for it. I did get one doctor to prescribe something (it was like phos-nak which for unknown...

Yes, diabetes has been ruled out. Those artificial saliva's I find absolutely useless. They last about 5 seconds before you'd need another spray. The only ones that were of any use were the xylie stick on melts, that you stick to the side of your mouth for the night. But even those are the best...

Hi Mary, thanks so much for this response! Do you have a phosphorus supplement that you'd recommend? Yes I've had the same thing with folate/b12 and needing potassium

@L'engle this is where I've been buying my phosphorous for the last year or so. Sodium, Potassium, Phosphorus Powder Concentrate (Sugar Free) 100 Pack – Hargraves Online Healthcare (hargravesotc.com) As you can see, they have 11 units left - this has been typical for the past year. They'll...

...help since as you said - and also as I experience it - fluid just seems to almost not get absorbed. And I do take extra magnesium and potassium so it won't be a lack of electrolytes. Obviously clinically it's not considered dehydration but if I drank a normal amount of water instead each day...

...a phosphorous supplement about 3 times a week. I'd also experienced refeeding syndrome when I started taking methylfolate - this time my potassium tanked quite badly, again causing severe fatigue and some other symptoms, but different than the low phosphorous. But I was prepared for this...
