When Supplementation Makes Sense
Diet does not always replenish what has been lost, especially in long protocols. If tests show low levels of any mineral, supplementation may be necessary. But never start without medical guidance.
Magnesium comes in different forms: citrate, glycinate, malate, and oxide. Citrate is well absorbed and has a mild intestinal relaxing effect, which can help those dealing with constipation. Glycinate is gentler for people with sensitive stomachs.
Potassium is rarely sold as an isolated supplement without a prescription because high doses can affect heart rhythm. Food sources are almost always the first choice.
