Finished Your 30-Day Magnesium Soak? Here's How to Maintain Your Levels
Congratulations on completing the 30-Day Magnesium Soak Challenge! You've invested the time to replenish your body's levels, and you're likely feeling the benefits. But the big question now is: what's next?
Understanding Your Magnesium Burn Rate
What is a Magnesium Burn Rate?
This is how fast your body burns through magnesium. A variety of factors play a role in this, such as: sleep schedule, sugar intake, the amount of processed carbs you consume, stress levels, medications, medical procedures, autoimmune disorders, and more.
How do I know what mine is?
After a 30 Day Soaking Challenge we recommend getting your Magnesium Blood Test, RBC tested. You can order that here. The levels indicated on this exam can help you personally find how much Magnesium you need and how to fit it into your everyday life.
What is maintenance soaking?
Your goal is to soak as little as possible and maintain a cell saturation of 6.3 mg/dL or above. This will vary for each person.
Results in mmol/L? To convert to mg/dL simply multiply your result by 2.43.
For example:
- If your Magnesium Test, RBC, came in at a 6.0, you don’t have far to go for cell saturation. Try soaking 1 to 2 times a week for 45 days.
- If your Magnesium Test, RBC, came in at a 5.0, you probably need to soak 3 to 4 times a week for 45 days to achieve cell saturation.
- Want to fast-track achieving magnesium cell saturation? Check out these tips.
After this, you can retest your Magnesium Test, RBC.
Did levels stay the same? Increase the amount you soak in Magnesium by a day to achieve cell saturation.
Did you achieve cell saturation of 6.3 or above? Drop down to one or two days a week to maintain your cell saturation levels.
Once you have discovered your maintenance soaking requirements, you will want to continue soaking in magnesium to maintain cell saturation based on this number.
