I dunno but I agree about lamb taste. It's soooo weird. I went back and had cooked lamb months ago and I could just barely taste that weird lamb tastes. I didn't even notice it when I ate cooked lamb before, but once I had it raw I never forgot the taste. I wouldn't call it bad, just very strange, almost like it's fermented but not in a nasty way.

Actually I would put money on organs of any animal being the best source of that stuff vs. meat of any animal. Definitely the C, and marrow for calcium. Mg I'm not sure, or for the Carnitine, but my guess is that if you're eating raw paleo meat WITH organs and marrow you will get a very good mix of all nutrients. I've heard too much calcium in ratio with magnesium is a problem, so perhaps looking for calcium isn't a good idea, let it find you :)

What about magnesium? I've read that it's crucial in carbohydrate metabolism, so if we eat LC than we don't need to eat RDA amount, that is over 300 mg.

This is one of the things I don't understand yet about LC. How did the Inuit manage to get higher levels of Mg in their bodies than modern Americans?

does anyone have any source to find the amount of mg. in blood?  I suspect you'll find it there.

Fish and shellfish have got quite a lot of magnesium.
There is 250 mg of magnesium only in one mackerel, for example, so quite a lot.

C. Louis Kervran showed that Mg can be created in the gut by microbes (yes, transmutation of the element), so it does not need to be in the food we eat.
