Not really. I get stuff several different places based on what I happen to need the most. My one requirement for magnesium is to get high potency tablets with 200mg elemental magnesium per tablet. The choice of magnesium glycinate is because glycine is pretty useful as well, and it is one of the better absorbed varieties.

If it is of interest, Dr. Thomas Levy recently published "Magnesium: Reversing Disease", which is a great book on the subject. Funny story with him...he didn't see the need for the book and didn't want to write it, but was pushed by his publisher. After digging into the recent research on magnesium, he came to the realization that it was a major player in the cause of many diseases of age, which is calcium wandering away from where it should be and into many places it shouldn't. It was a major "aha" moment for him and completely reversed his view on the importance of magnesium.

The summary point is that magnesium is the natural calcium channel blocker and a major contributor to proper cell function. We tend to think old people need lots of calcium, but the truth is they probably have plenty, it's just in tissues it shouldn't be. Literally nothing good comes from that...causes Intracellular oxidative stress and progressive disease states...A Very Bad Thing. By restoring magnesium to optimal levels (along with Vit D and K), calcium gets restored to the places it should be and removed from the places it shouldn't, and dang near every disease of old age improves or even reverses. While almost everyone gets plenty of calcium, almost none of us get enough magnesium, and even when your doctor checks it, our serum level is often normal. This is because 99% of magnesium is in our cells, not our blood, and our bodies do an amazing job of rationing magnesium to critical things...like keeping your heart beating and your brain firing...but will take it away from less critical things to do so.

tldr...I could write a book on it, but Dr. Levy already did, so I'll shut up.

I’ve been trying to research but they don’t all list the magnesium the same - most don’t say whether it is 200 elemental…

Since you have a Kamado Joe, have you ever looked at roasting your own coffee beans? I saw some “recipes” and techniques for it and thought it would be cool to try. I don’t have a basket for my JoeTisserie yet I can try it, but I may just try it out when I do.

I have not tried that yet but I bet you can make some pretty tasty stuff. Tomorrow I’m going to smoke some St Louis Ribs that I’m looking forward to.

A coworker has smoked ice for his bourbon and that’s something I want to try. You freeze large pieces of ice using those ball molds or large square molds. Then with the Joe fired up you place smoking wood on and the ice is placed in a pan or bowl. Smoke the ice until it melts then pour back onto the molds and refreeze. Now you have smokey ice for your bourbon or scotch.

that is some impressive numbers against the mighty defensive powerhouse that is (check notes) South Carolina State

 

[Jack Burton]

We just need to beat LSU before we discuss any of this

Agreed. It’s fine to dream but one game at a time for me.

Oddly enough I think we have a better chance against Bama than Georgia at this point from what I've seen.

I think Bryce Young is a better QB, but I think Georgia may have more overall talent/experience right now.

Still think both are probably Losses, just don't think our defense or rushing game is anywhere near good enough to help us win. We also get Bama after they play @ Arkansas and then vs A&M with no BYE week. Georgie won't have played any real tough teams before facing us, and we're playing there.

They are both just far more complete teams than we are, at least at this point in our rebuild...and the DEPTH at both schools is just freaking insane to deal with, and it will continue to be a major problem for us against them until we stack a few great classes in a row.

I do believe with a certain set of circumstances that we could beat either team this year...it is just asking a LOT from this staff and this team to actually pull it off....if we do pull off a win against either, then Heupel should win coach of the year.

They just both vastly out talent us at this point.

I can't stand that pretentious self-centered jackass....deep thinker my fat ass.

I'm not happy with @Glitch 's notification ignoring ways either, but isn't this a bit harsh?

He is endangering the integrity of VN tho....

I don't know about the rest of you, but I had forgotten how good this feels.

For a given type (citrate, glycinate, etc) it will always be a specific percentage of the total weight. Magnesium glycinate is 14.1% elemental magnesium by weight. So for a 1000mg dose you are getting 141g of magnesium. I've currently got Vitamin Shoppe on my shelf and I thought they listed both values, but I'm sure they list elemental weight.

I have done the smoked ice before and it was good. Wasn’t a huge amount of smoke taste when I tried a piece of the ice individually, but with the bourbon I used already having some of that flavor from the barrel it all played really well together. Made a great Smoked Old Fashioned.

With no Vols, what are you all excited to watch tomorrow?

Noon

UK-Ole Miss I'll be watching beginning to end. Yet to watch either team. Interested to see Dart and Kiffin without Lebby. Levis throwing picks will be fun to watch as well. Hope Ole Miss beats them up and wins by 3 TDs.


3:30

Bama-Arky. Hope it's a slobberknocker and Arky rips their optimism away from them.


Night

LSU-Auburn. Take the sentence above about Bama and paste it here about LSU.


NC St-Clemson. Cmon Wolfpack. Eff Clemson.

 

[Pridedad]

I truly believe we walk the corners back because of safety and linebacker coverage. Safeties are slow and linebackers get lost so to not give up the big play we play soft and keep everything in front of us. If we can get pressure it works out well and If we don’t we give up 400+ to AR

Rewatched the game last night. As mentioned before if the first person makes the tackle last week this is a blow out not a 5 point win. There were several missed open field tackles on both WR's and AR15.

Minnesota plays 1 ranked team all season and it's Penn St.

Geez. Must be nice to able to sleepwalk to 10 wins.

I'll just ask...cause I'm lazy and you know way more about it.

Can you just recommend a brand? I have some in my Amazon cart but not sure if it's the good stuff or not lol

Only thing I would add/change is watching wake/fsu alongside with bama/arky. Rooting for wake big time…

I’ve not heard that since the late 90’s

For herbs I'm far pickier. For stuff like mag or VitC I just get whatever, usually to get in a form easier to take. This month it's Vitamin Shoppe's house brand. Big tablets...full dose is 2.

In general I like Life Extension Foundation. I'll also use Source Natural for some things. The D I take is Michael's. Not an exhaustive list though.

this is an outstanding weekend of football. A lot of these games will start to separate the cream from the middle-of-the-pack in conferences. I'm excited to see who emerges.


Good game tonight - Washington UCLA. Will also be tracking Tulane @ Houston. Also going to see what MTSU can do after upsetting Miami. All of this is enough to entertain. I might put something on the New Mexico UNLV game to be a real weirdo.

Tomorrow's early slate is very deep:
Michigan @ Iowa
Kentucky @ Ole Miss
Oklahoma @ TCU
Purdue @ Minnesota
Texas Tech @ Kansas St
Illinois @ Wisconsin
Louisville @ BC
Navy @ Air Force

Plenty of games to alternate on a 4-screen setup. I am very excited.

Curious to see the Oregon St @ Utah game

Afternoon slate is packed:
Alabama @ Arkansas
Texas A&M @ Miss St
Oklahoma St @ Baylor
Wake Forest @ Florida St
Iowa St @ Kansas (I kind of want Kansas to lose already so everyone can shut up about them)
Mich St @ Maryland
Virginia Tech @ UNC


Liberty @ Old Dominion has sneaky potential

Decent evening slate:
LSU @ Auburn (hope it's a 12 round bout for LSU)
NC State @ Clemson
WVU @ Texas
I'll watch UGA decapitate Mizzou I guess
Indiana @ Nebraska

Pac 12 after dark has potential too:
Arizona St @ USC
Stanford @ Oregon

This is what I was talking about with Bob the other day. This call is horrific. No excitement what so ever.

I’ve had farts with treble the excitement of that call

That applies to most children imo
