Hi all,

Just wondering if most of you tolerate Boswellia? I am interested in trying it for chronic pain.

Thanks,
eloise

I’m sorry, I tried it years ago but can’t remember if it helped due to my very large protocol. I still have some and have been thinking about trying it again due to my pain issues currently.

Turmeric and Curcumin do absolutely nothing for me.
Magnesium Taurate does help.

Here’s published research for you.

Thanks very much for the article, Bartenderbonnie. And also for letting me know about the Magnesium Taurate. How much of that do you take?

Posted by Bartenderbonnie (Member # 49177) on :

I take 125mg 2x daily.

It is important to check all your other meds for interactions and contradictions.
Magnesium affects the absorption and titer levels of many drugs.

My LLMD explained to take magnesium 2 hours before OR after my antibiotics. 4 hours away from thyroid meds.

It is my understanding that getting magnesium from epsom salts bath will not interfere with antibiotics.
