![]() Of not serum magnesium levels are of little value to determine deficiency as our levels change so rapidly and the intracellular level is approximately 18 times higher than the serum level (the magnesium level checked in blood tests). Symptoms of magnesium deficiency include muscle spasms, palpitations and anxiety to name a few. To little magnesium resulting in constipation. I found stool consistency a good indicator of if one’s magnesium dose is adequate. Magnesium glycinate or citrate are good options. Of not as vitamin D3 uses up a lot of magnesium and most people are magnesium deficient or borderline so it is wise to take lots of magnesium, especially if taking larger doses of vitamin D3. Unfortunately lots of misinformation out there. Two websites that have good information are and I am not giving medical advice and of course do your own research. I am not giving medical advice and always do your own research. Where are the intracellular levels are key to the physiological effects. The blood levels are key to calcium metabolism and maintaining the body’s Ph balance. Such that blood levels of the active form of vitamin D3 (1,25 dihydroxy vitamin D3) do not interfere with the intracellular levels and vis versa. As the active form of vitamin D3 cannot diffuse into or out of the typical cell. To achieve optimal vitamin D3 physiology effects we use parathyroid hormone levels as an indirect indicator. Physiological effects being improved deep restorative sleep, improved gut micro biome and improved immune function. Typically it takes a dose of 10,000 IU a day to start seeing physiological effects of vitamin D3. So clearly not in danger of hypercalcemia at these doses. The toxic effect of too much vitamin D3 is hypercalcemia. Typically this will result in your ionized calcium levels in the low normal range. Ideally you want your parathyroid hormone level in the low normal range to achieve optimal physiological effects. It is wise to start by checking one’s ionized calcium, vitamin D panel and parathyroid hormone blood plasma levels.
