Sodium, Potassium. Chloride going on the low side after two months on Magnesium?

I'm actually wondering if these numbers need a slight change in the diet or they are fine, I started using Magnesium supplement about 600mg a day, sometime even 800mg, and I saw a drop on levels of those other minerals, especially potassium and sodium, below the two BW, one is LabCorp reference and the most recent one Quest

I truly hope you're not concerned about normal levels of electrolytes.

These levels are not interpretable the way you think they are, in reality, they don't mean anything. Your body works with SMALL tolerances of electrolytes, hence the tiny ranges, because they are critical to life.

Eating more salt or whatever doesn't really impact your electrolyte levels due to homeostasis. Remember, if they're wrong, you can die. The body finds a way to maintain them.

In other words, these levels, when they're normal, mean nothing.
 
From what I can see, your levels look good, except HDL. I use NAC and endur-acin 1500mg nightly, if you can tolerate the flushing, for my HDL.
 
I see, so, if I understand well, even I if I take lots of Magnesium everyday the body will adjust electrolytes levels as needed it, and possibly eating lots of Sodium or been on TRT and retaining more of it as well, would not impact these levels, right?

I started NAC and Ubiquinol about two months a go, I saw a drop in LDL for sure, but no changes in HDL, I do cardio 3 times a week 30mn each time as well

Ubiquinol can help to prevent the oxidation of LDL particles. In turn, this can hinder the ability of LDL to structure dangerous plaques.
