> My doctor used Great Smokies Lab. The test was called "Elemental Analysis." It looked at both toxic elements and essential elements. Why wouldn't they be able to test for magnesium? That seems a little odd to me.
You must be right; I thought I remembered hearing that somewhere, that there was no accurate test. Perhaps that was years back.
Since I generally do everything by trial and error, I think that's exciting to know that you have a verified deficiency that you can address.
That being so, you may definitely want to consider purchasing a more absorbable form of magnesium than the one you have if this one doesn't seem to have an impact. One way to get magnesium, that I forgot to mention, is Epsom Salt baths which is magnesium sulfate, absorbed through the skin then.
