Yes but it 2g of magnésium which equal to 200 mg of magnesium element.

Which dose do you suggest @TubZy?

You are using mag chloride right? I'm talking about just regular mag chloride, many people get issues from even low doses of mag chloride (100mg etc).

I would say keep going down until you feel better. So maybe try 500mg and see how you feel. If no improvement, go down to 250mg and keep going down until you feel better.

So @gbolduev wrote that if you have high venous CO2, you are slow oxidizer, so I'm slow oxidizer.
Is there naything special to supplement?

So just got my results back :

So total CO2 is stil 32 (22-30)
Sodium is 141 (136-146)
K is 4.6 mmol/l (3.4-4.5)
Clore is 103 (101-109)
Calcium 96 mg ( 88-106)
Phosphore 31 mg (25-45)
Iron 106 ùg (70-180)
Transferin 2.78g/l ( 2-3.6)
Ferritin 27 ng/l (22-275)
TSH 0.35 (0.35-4.94)

get an hair test, I think that is a better way to understand where you are at instead of blood tests.

Yes but on again why is my CO2 so high ?

The venous CO2 test is a combination of HCO3 (bicarb), H2CO3 (carbonic acid), and CO2 (carbon dioxide gas). If you are PFS, it is probably because your bicarb is too high because PFS is a form of alkalosis. This means you need to chronically increase respiratory rate because you need to expel more carbon. This also means you need more HCl, to bring pH down. Looking at your low TSH, I think it also means your metabolism is too high compared to respiratory rate. So get breathing! More breathing exercises, focusing on maximal exhalation. Get doing some light jogging/cycling every day to get that respiratory rate up. Doing this fasted may help a lot too, since that will increase post-exercise ketosis - increasing H+ formation and combating the alkalosis.

Also, are those recent blood tests from when you were doing the electrolyte protocol and supplementing potassium?

How soon did you stop before the blood tests?

CO2 is probably high because you have naturally have a fast metabolism. Your TSH is low, this means your T3 is likely very active. The higher your metabolism, the higher your CO2/HCO3/H2CO3 production.

You may have a combo of high thyroid but low adrenal activity. This creates a paradox where lots of CO2 is produced, but not as much CO2 is expelled because respiratory drive is low from low adrenaline.

This is just a theory. No one will have a concrete answer for you based off of the tests/info you provided.

We are talking epinephrine and norepinephrine, not cortisol. Even if we were talking serum cortisols levels (or epinephrine/norepinephrine), they are not meaningful, since high serum levels without Cushing's disease likely means low receptor density, meaning low cortisol action. You need to know receptor density, which we cannot find out, because there are no tests for that in existence.

You are going to have to be satisfied with an incomplete answer because you will never find one that isn't theoretical in nature.

Anyway, how long did you wait between stopping the electrolyte protocol and your recent blood tests?
