Ronnie Lin who's been working on this problem of seeing how we can use the chip the inexpensive accessible sir magnesium test to assess magnesium adequacy and what he has discovered is that you must be at the very high of the reference range to be anything to have any kind of chance of adequate magnesium and in fact he says anything then the lower half of the reference range is actually magnesium deficiency and so you're gonna see here if we look at the reference ranges we first look at Mayo Clinic this is kind of a standard reference range there they haven't been adjusted recently they say the sir of magnesium should be between 1.8 and 2.3 so we know by dr. ilene statement you want to be very close to this 2.3 you want to be very high now if you go to the FDA and there are new suggestions the FDA is saying the range is 1.8 to 3.6 and they're trying to compensate for the fact that this test does not really this is missing a lot of magnesium deficiency and in this test you again want to be in that middle range you want to be more towards the 3.6 you say you want to be at least you know 2.5 2.6 2.7 so this is a very handy thing your doctors likely to do this through a magnesium test just make sure you're right towards the high end of that reference range and try to use the FDA reference range which which goes to - three point six now I would say there's other more refined tests for magnesium like red blood cell magnesium just the other day someone was telling me they had their Sura measured and it showed normal and the red blood showed low the red blood cell magnesium is a better test but it's a little harder to get more expensive and they're also developing an ionized magnesium level when that's when that's perfected that's going to be a helpful test for now know that you want to be really towards a high end of the serum magnesium range and just one less thing while we're talking about magnesium if you say well I believe you Susan I believe magnesium is great for bone but I get a loose stool when I use magnesium then I want you to know that there's a few things you can do one be sure to
