[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 117312, member: 18023"] I don't think magnesium serum level check is very good since your body will strive to maintain a constant level in your serum. Your cells can be deficient while your serum levels will be good. Better but more expensive is a magnesium rbc test. Best of all is the [B]EXA Magnesium Test[/B] The EXA Test determines magnesium levels from a tissue sample that is scraped from inside the mouth and then tested for magnesium. Since the majority of magnesium is found in soft tissue, evaluating actual tissue presents a better snapshot of the magnesium content in your system. The EXA test though is hard to find although more doctors are being trained to perform it. People who get the EXA test tend to be those with problems like afib that are very responsive to magnesium levels, and they report that the RBC test often shows good levels while the EXA test shows a deficiency. But I wouldn't pay for either RBC or EXA, I would go by just taking enough magnesium to eliminate all cramping and I also know how much I can take daily before diarrhea sets in. FWIW, if I take ~5 grams of magnesium citrate daily I will get diarrhea. This is about 570 mg of elemental magnesium, and the total dietary requirements for magnesium are 320 to 420 milligrams per day. So I just take less than 5 grams, maybe about 3.54 grams. [/QUOTE]
