Paul Mason 3: MAGNESIUM supplementationcan be helpful in maintaining critical potassium levels
interviewed by Dr Mariela Glandt
Question: How do you prescribe potassium in diet?
Personally, I:
-eat food that has a lot of potassium in it.
-put a lot of salt on my food
-if too much, my kidneys will sort it out
For my patients, who are insulin resistant:
-many are underdoing magnesium
-cannot reliably measure magnesium on blood test
-urine test (reliable) too expensive
Studies: Athletes (using urine test)
-40% deficient in magnesium
Magnesium essential for over 300 reactions in body
-it enhances body's capacity to
hold onto potassium
Supplementing with potassium is fraught with danger
-if not enough, can have a heart arrhythmia
-if too much, can have a heart arrhythmia!
Supplementing with magnesium helps
body address potassium levels!
In hospital, patients going into congestive cardiac failure...
-tried to get magnesium & potassium levels up
-if not, then getting potassium up would be problematic
I suggest for those not in optimal
metabolic health:
-magnesium supplements are okay
Question: Which magnesium formulation?
-aspartate? citrate? oxide?
Stay away from oxide formulation:
-causes diarrhea
If chelated with amino acids:
-amount too small
Magnesium citrate
-high levels of magnesium
-less prone to diarrhea-provoking
I usually start patients on this
Magnesium chelated with amino acids:
-reasonable to try these if citrate doesn't work well
Magnesium aspartate or orotate:
-underwhelmed by research on these
