4th day of fast

fourth day of water fasting and I was experiencing some numbness / pins and needles in my arm, figured it was because i wasn’t supplementing magnesium and was low on that. Took a cellulose pill of mag citrate and then saw in the electrolytes page that you shouldn’t do that because of it potentially getting stuck to the stomach wall. Long story short i’ve been anxious now about this happening, does anyone else take salt pills while fasting without any problems? Should i be worried and what’re the chances I have a problem because of this?

Answer

Just make sure you drink a good glass of water with it. I do not think this is a thing but read that in one place about NaCl salt capsules specifically. I take zinc and mag cellulose capsules regular and during longer fasts. Zero issues.
