In reply to Magnesium and sore/tender breasts?, posted by LizinManhattan on May 29, 2006, at 13:47:34
> Hi,
> 4 or 5 days ago I began taking 250 mg of magnesium. About 2 days ago I noticed that my breasts are sore! They are actually hurting. It is kind of similar to PMS soreness, but much more severe. Any ideas?
> Thanks!
> LizIt sounds like a paradoxical reaction, as magnesium is generally recommended for women who have that specific symptom. In addition to the magnesium, take between 250 and 500 mg calcium. Take it with the magnesium, whenever you take the magnesium, at a ratio of between 1:1 and 1:2 magnesium to calcium.
If that doesn't clear up the problem, then I can only suggest that you try taking very small amounts spread out throughout the day. If *that* fails, I'd turn my back on magnesium supplements, and try again some time later on.
