I took just a fraction of the dose (1/2 tsp) and 1.5 hours later had the worst diarrhea in my life! Can it be I'm not deficient?

T. Caporaletti, magnesium products are well known for their laxative properties. Any time you take upwards of 400 - 500 mgs of elemental magnesium daily it's not uncommon to have laxative issues, or, the problem can occur if you have a higher sensitivity to magnesium. You might want to spread out your intake over the course of the day, or try a "time release" magnesium product, like JigSaw Magnesium w/SRT, which is excellent.RWM

I take a really small dose too, because it acts like a sleeping pill over dose to me (at the full strength). my naturopath said I'm REALLY deficient. Her recommendation was to take a small amount, building up to get the desired results.

I have taken this for years and would not expect that reaction but we are all different. I love the product and feel it helps w/nerves and anxiety. Helps you relax at bedtime. I buy the small envelopes when traveling.

I had the same reaction the first day to 1/2 tsp (one dose). Next day I bumped it to 1 tsp (in two doses, morning and evening) no problem. I now use the recommended 2 tsps (in two doses) everyday and have no problems.

Magnesium loosens your bowels if you take more than is right for you. It doesn't have anything to do with deficiency. Take less. It is recommended on the bottle to start with a small amount to see what works best for you.

I was very jittery after I took it the first day. Have not taken it again. Has anyone else experienced this?

I don't know, everybody's different..when I take it at 9 pm, I go to bed at 11 and usually fall asleep within 30 minutes no problem. I'm the kind of person who struggles badly with sleep too, so I don't know, but maybe try taking 1.5 ??

No side effects for me some people have to diarrhea at the beginning but only a little at the beginning but most people don't have any sides and I felt much better while taking it.

7/15 but consider the problem w/your stomache, you may not need as much as I take. They have 30 billion bifido, 50, 80. Perhaps u may could use a smaller dosage. Mine was very bad and I started out w/80, then I realized I was taking two and decided to go higher. Good luck and make sure the bottle is always refrigerated.

Rahaf,Thank you for ordering with us. I saw you received a good answer but I thought you may be interested in reading a bit more fun facts for our Liquid Biotin from SGF Limited:The dosage is always way smaller in liquid because the body can assimilate all of it. In pill or capsule form, only about .01% gets broken down in the digestive system and sometimes none at all depending on how strong your digestive system is. The body can only break down 150mcg at a time and will flush the rest out through the urine so its wasting your time and money trying to consume anymore than that at one time.

You could probably just use the scoop provided,1/4 tsp would be the dose. It's like heart guard 5-25 lb is one amount,doesn't change if the animal is 5 or 25 lb. I highly recommend this product too. Very helpful for my dog with immune system issues. He was very sickly be fire useing this

No, we didn't have that problem. However, MSM can cause some tummy upset. If you are giving the Dasaquin 2 times per day, decrease to once per day. If you're giving it once a day, try breaking the pill in 1/2. Sometimes it can take a little time for adjustment.

Glycinate is the best absorbed. Least likely to cause diarrhea. You need a small; small dose. Look at Dr Thomas Levy's book Death by Calcium.

YES!!! I was casually taking that much and more and just yesterday I went through the most horrible side effects, so that I can no longer take it all. It can cause lactic acidosis, which you can look up, and terrible stomach pains. It was working great for me, but then yesterday I thought I was going to die. Be very cautious!

Hello, I use 1/8 of a tsp twice a day. The jar lasts me five months. It has really help my lab and I cannot see any side effects. He could not put on weight even though I was feeding him 9 cups of food per day. He is able to maintain 65 lbs now. Good Luck! Lyn

I actually didn't take the pills except for a couple of them whuch made me very ill. I suggest going on a low carb and low sugar diet. Rather than this stuff. I honestly am scared to know people are taking this poison. When I took it one hour before a meal it made me more hungry than ever. adding fiber will give you the same fullness and it is natural.

I am currently taking 10 per day so they're only lasting 9 days. I would recommend asking for some advice on dosage depending on what you have as I was told to take 5g a day which I split over 3 in the morning, 3 at lunch and 4 in the evening. I take my dose 30 mins before food. Some people take a lot less though or others a little more so how long it'll last will depend on your daily dose. Therefore maybe speak to someone about it. Hope that helps.

We did half a dose. If he seemed to still have gas after a half hour,we would give him anotherhalf.

You can always take 1 less pill if you are concerned with the serving size. People with deficiency like a stronger product.

When I was taking it I felt great. I would say 28 - 30 servings. Last order put me off. Good luck with yours.

I just read a comment stating they didnt get the paper. Well it said ti avoid all sugar except natural sweeteners like stevia, msg and other additives because it feeds the parasite. I don't remember exactly what it said, I took it a while ago, but it encourages you to eat many raw leafy greens and fresh veggies. U can blend together using only a. Green apple sweeten. No other fruit! U can eat, I forgot if it said organic or pastured eggs, chicken and turkey. Brown rice, quinoa, spelt and if u eat pasta it should only be made of the grains listed. You can eat beans, no juice or dairy. I may have left some grains out but I don't remember. Oh and drink tons of water because this can constipate you, u want all of the dead parasites to flush out of you, if you are constipated they are staying inside of you. I personally got diarrhea from it lol. Hope this helped!
