Magnesium Therapy — Supplementing Different Forms for Full Mineral Support
Magnesium therapy in the spirit of the Root Cause Protocol involves combining several forms of magnesium to meet the needs of different body tissues. This collection is aimed at those who want to build a more comprehensive magnesium protocol than a single supplement.
What happens in the body?
Magnesium is found in over 300 enzymes, in muscles, bones, the brain, and mitochondria. Different forms are absorbed by different tissues. Malate is used in the Krebs cycle. Glycinate calms the nervous system. Taurate supports the heart. Threonate (Magtein) crosses the blood-brain barrier. Topical magnesium (zechstein) reaches deep-seated muscles.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really need multiple forms?
Not everyone — but an RCP protocol often combines 2–3 forms to meet different needs.
How much is too much?
The National Food Agency's upper limit for supplements is 250 mg/day in addition to diet. A soft stomach is the first sign that you have exceeded your tolerance.
Topical + oral — does it double the dose?
Topical magnesium is absorbed more slowly and in smaller quantities. It is safe to combine.
