In the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990’s all kidney patients were told to limit magnesium. However, in 2021, we know this is no longer the case. Magnesium is good and supplemental calcium is bad for us. If anyone is recommending calcium over magnesium to you, the research is two to three decades old.
Research shows that patients can tolerate 360 to 720 mg of magnesium if the dosage is spread over time or time-released.
Large single doses of magnesium exceeding the recommended daily amount of 420 mg should be avoided by kidney patients. This includes laxatives and antacids that may contain 1,000 to 2,000 mg of magnesium in a single serving.
Albutrix S3 contains the highest amount of magnesium, at 360 mg for a daily serving. This is below the recommended daily amount(RDA) of 420 mg. Six pills are taken (two with each meal) equal 120 mg per serving. Large single doses of any vitamin or mineral should normally be avoided by kidney patients.
Patients should always choose the lowest calcium/highest magnesium keto acid analog they can safely tolerate. Stage 5 patients are the only patients for which a high calcium keto acid analog may be appropriate.
