Magnesium Bicarbonate

Magnesium bicarbonate is the Ultimate Mitochondrial Cocktail. Magnesium and bicarbonate when used together would increase energy in several ways. First, magnesium bicarbonate protects the natural organic and inorganic phosphate buffers in the cytoplasm of cells. Second, magnesium bicarbonate neutralizes the acid produced as a result of metabolic processes and ATP hydrolysis. This allows more ATP to be hydrolyzed; that is, more energy can be utilized. Magnesium bicarbonate buffers the mitochondria in body cells from excess acid concentrations which improves mitochondrial function and allows more ATP to be produced.

    Look on the above site, it explains some of it, but not the amount of each to mix together. We need to buy the books I imagine.

    Sodium Bicarbonate you buy in a Grocery shop, a Magnesium Chloride supplier you will find via Google search. Iodine may be a little more difficult.

    No doubt the books will tell us.

    Thanks for sharing this Lance,

    However I still prefer using magnesium chloride over hydroxide. See my article on the ultimate mitochondrial coctail.

    I own your magnesium book and have been using mag. chloride for several years per your instructions with great results for relief of back and leg pain! Please tell me which of your books contains instructions for the dosage and preparation of the Magnesium Bicarbonate you mention above so I can look it up. Thank you!

    For information about magnesium bicarbonate see my essay ” The Ultimate Mitochondrial Coctail” in the Sodium Bicarbonate book. Also : check out this site.

    Mark,

    How do you think the Magnesium chloride oil works? I wonder how much goes in transdermally- it seems that my skin is salty in the morning after I spray it on.

  • Mark Sircus (author) said:

    Karen,Most of the magnesium oil is absorbed after about 20 minutes on the skin. It can be rinsed off after that amount of time. Look at Dr. Shealy’s study on my magnesiumforlife site for more information on this and see my essays on that site.

    Feel Free to repost on your blog, and thank you!

    Here is a redo of the link Dr. Mark post on 6 Dec.

    http://naturalallopathic.com/cms/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=74:magnesium-bicarbonate&catid=38:magnesium-bicarbonate&Itemid=140

    Copy and paste. It would not work (for me) in the form that was posted.

    Is there a known contraindication for Mg, NaCarbonate or MgCarbonate? I would think about interactions with Cortisone, methotrexate or Bisoprolol and possibly with metal(Ti) implants.
    Many thanks,
    Henri

  • Mark Sircus (author) said:

    Henri, the same contradictions for magnesium would hold for the mag carbonates. There is a chapter in my Transdermal Magnesium Therapy book about contraindications to Magnesium which includes many of the effects with other medicines. Many medicines cause further depeltion of magnesium, and if you have chronic renal faiulure, excess magnesium in the body is not excreted in the urine and becomes problematic. The only real contraindication to using magnesium in any form is chronic renal insufficiency. Consult with your health care worker.

    Sodium is another story altogether, with sodium sensitive people needing to be cautious, though studies have shown that sodium bicarbonate does not raise blood pressure the same way sodium chloride does.

    Hi Dr. Mark,

    Is Arm & Hammer Pure Baking Soda, ok to use.
    Only sodium bi carb, aluminum not listed in ingedients.

    Thx

  • Mark Sircus (author) said:

    We have verification from Church and Dwight who make Arm and Hammer products, that there is no aluminum in their sodium bicarbonate. Apparently other companies just use that fact as an advertising ploy.

    However baking soda may contain aluminum.
