Magnesium

[Christophe_85]

A couple of years before my last T increase, I'm pretty sure magnesium put an end to a long period of insomnia for me. I'm on 600mg a day now, because I guess it can't hurt, but I'm not sure it's had an effect on my T.

If magnesium deficiency and T are indeed connected, it's also interesting because in the year before my worsening, I lost 66 pounds. And weight loss is definitely connected to magnesium deficiency. And heightened cortisol.

Hello,

Do you do cures of Magnesium or do you take it every day throughout the year ?

Best,

Christophe

Guess I do cures every now and then.

Too much magnesium will be expelled by the kidneys. Hence why one side effect with too much magnesium is diarrhea and kidney stones. I would expect magnesium to not do much if it's a few weeks after tinnitus first started. You can help damaged cochlea nerve cells from dying but you can't bring them back to life. Magnesium helps in removing free radicals.

 

[Christophe_85]

Apparently, Magnesium is good in any cases...

Especially also for helping relaxation and sleeping...

Well, its not "normal" but was advised by a doctor for tinnitus and I tried it .

You're lucky to have a doctor who advised you something. Of all the healthcare professions I've spoken to, only one has recommended anything (ginko, of course).

Found this article re: magnesium;

Old article, but worth a look.

I wonder, can the nerve itself reccover?
The haircells might be gone, but nerves do fix themselfs no?

Dead nerve cells can't recover. However nerve cells might be damaged and headed for death unless many different antioxidants such as magnesium prevent it from happening. A study has shown that taking one antioxidant alone isn't as good as taking different kinds such as A,C,E, NAC, etc...

The damage can happen over a period of many months.

The problem is you don't know what these antioxidants are doing to the body. Long term effects of taking them for years may cause other things far worse than T. Supplements are poorly studied and even more poorly regulated so it's really like the Wild West.

Greetings,
I hear a lot about T sufferers avoiding or cutting down on salt (Sodium) in foods because it effects tinnitus, however I read that many are taking magnesium, but I think there maybe a high salt content in magnesium, does anyone have knowledge about this and educate me on this? or even opinions?

 

[volsung37]

Some magnesium we use is in the form of salt but this is not the type of sodium salt we are told to avoid. There are many different types of salt.

MY4 YEARS EXPERIENCE WITH MAGNESIUM.




Why magnesium is not working for you:


-You don't take the right form;
-You don't take it at the right time;
-You don't take it long enough;
-You don't take it at the right for you dosage.

Magnesium Chloride was the first supplement to try when my T started getting very loud.
And fortunately it did work for me actually it is the reason I am still alive. My T is noise induces and it is killer loud i feel it all over my head and it somehow on waves SSSSsssssSHHHHHsssss living hell, not maskable. When is very bad I want to snap my clothes. As I also have high freq hearing loss i have tried hearing aids but they only making it worse.
Thanks to god that he has created magnesium and make it available on the Earth.
What magnesium does for me is make my T constant not on wave and lower it a couple of notches and this is for me a "cure". Yes I still have it but with level which I am OK habituation possible.

I don't know it could be placebo effect but I don't care I like that placebo effect, it makes me function normal. I even found the results about the the double blind control trial of magnesium posted here in TT by Markku that shows that magnesium doesn't work for tinnitus I don't believe this trials today they are done everywhere and done by everyone even from not qualified people. Take for example the trial for TRT million of dollars was invested no results publicated and they will never be.

It works the best for me when I take it before bed a couple of hours after my last meal it make me slightly dizzy then I know it will work.
I have tried to take it after meal but it doesn't seem to work this way the stomach should be empty for proper absorption. And I only take half tablet my one are 500mg and it does the trick.

My recommendation:

1. Take it a couple of hours after your meal before bed this is very important (the stomach must be empty)
2.Try Magnesium Chloride as this what I have been taking on and off for 4 years.
3.Take it at least for 3 weeks if you T is noise induces you are good candidate for magnesium.
4. Always consult your physician before taking any supplements.

Going to add Magnesium to my daily cocktail tomorrow.

I don't know if you're looking for something very specific, but there are quite a few results on pubmed about studies involving TRT.

Was reading this article and again magnesium (or at least the inclusion of magnesium in a drug formula) is mentioned as a potential future treatment option for T. Interesting article to read in general also. Good luck all!

I've been taking Magnesium Citrate for several months for my tinnitus but it has not helped. Maybe I should try some of the other magnesium forms such as threonate or glycenate. Which works best for you guys?

 

[volsung37]

Supplements are useless. Eat good nourishing food.

What food is good for magnesium? I just noticed that the one medication I've been taken for years can lower magnesium obsorbsion. Is there any good veg/fruit for magnesium? Thanks

Dark chocolate, spinach, mackerel, bananas, beans, avocados are good food sources for magnesium.

I'm gonna eat a bunch of bananas every day this week.

That's the least of my worries mate honestly I'd spend a weekend in Chernobyl if I thought it would sort this out :-/

Have you tried acupuncture for tinnitus? Or any other treatments or supplements?

 

[Paul10]

Have you tried acupuncture for tinnitus? Or any other treatments or supplements?

Sadly no. Well, I've tried some supplements (Ginkgo, Zinc, b12, garlic and cod liver oil) but nothing like acupuncture or massage etc. I really should but it's hard to figure out who to go to without wasting my money. Have you had any luck yourself?

 

[G H]

Will be going to my first acupuncture session next week. I haven't really tried anything else yet.

 

[Paul10]

Good luck G, hope it goes well. Keep us posted.

Thanks Paul. yeah I'll let you know if it works or not. Guess it will take a few sessions before I'd notice any difference.

 

[Havy]

Will be going to my first acupuncture session next week. I haven't really tried anything else yet.

I'm going to accupuncture as well. Here's hoping

 

[G H]

Anyway, no improvement in my tinnitus after several acupuncture sessions. pretty disappointing.

 

[Applejuice]

Is this a safe magnesium pill? Just checking to be sure.

Contains: Magnesium (elemental), Cellulose, croscarmellose sodium, stearic acid, magnesium stearate (vegetable source), hypromellose.

 

[G H]

I've tried several different types of magnesium and have noticed no positive effects from any of them. A waste of money in my opinion.
