The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

because magnesium you're supposed to you know see about a third of the oral magnesium come out in the urine so if you consume 300 milligrams of magnesium a hundred should come out in a 24 hour urinalysis if less than that's coming out you either have GI issues and you're not absorbing it well or you're holding on to it and you're deficient
if urinary magnesium is like less than 80 milligrams on a normal magnesium intake and your bullet slightly but you're even in the normal range but you're on the low normal end of the range that's very highly suggestive of magnesium deficiency
I bet urinary magnesium is something people could get very easily and so if people are curious about magnesium status you could just do a blood level of magnesium and a urinary magnesium then yes because um there's urine test strips Vivo is one company that will measure magnesium in the urine essentially a third of your dietary magnesium comes out in the urine
so typically when you're below 100 you're probably you're not you're not probably getting a good amount of magnesium
there's urine test strips Vivo is one company that will measure magnesium the urine essentially a third of your dietary magnesium comes out in the urine so if you're consuming 300 milligrams in the diet 100 will come out in the urine
in other words the less magnesium in the urine the more likely the person is to be deficient why because it tells you boy those kids are really holding on to magnesium we have a sense of how much magnesium should come out of a person in a day in inot you know state of quote unquote equilibrium and if the amount of magnesium that's coming out is really low well you would you would surmise that that person truly has total body deficiency
