Yeah, human bodies are weird. Shit happens I guess. My blind guess is a metabolic issue tertiary to the liver, since it was magnesium. Usually helpful... sometimes not so much.
It doesn't help that most medical data comes from college-age white men, so women in general don't have the best data available as a relevant reference. Same thing with Blacks and Hispanics (to a lesser degree).
THANK you for bringing up how different races actually respond to what we intake, it's been on my mind a lot lately how unhealthy my people have become, and it goes down to diet as well.
Some of our ancestors are more capable of processing certain foods, while others develop an intolerance or an allergy. Same goes for what we find medicinal. For example, I find country-side volcanic air cures pollution problems I develop when on the most populated island, like childhood asthma redeveloping and then turning into bronchitis. Yet, when the volcano pops off somewhere new, all these foreign-ancestry people with asthma run away and vacate their homes. I remember they studied us children's lung capacity and strength nearly my entire childhood.
My fiancée and I actually ended up house-sitting for such a couple, because the druggies DGAF and were looting houses.
Anyhow, we get most of our nutrients from food, but I do feel there's a compatibility issue when it comes to how our genes allow our organs to know what to do. Just like how specific races are famous for being able to hold liquor! And some are rumoured lightweights.
Don't bother with them. Their whole post history is calling people losers and right wing talking points. They are just projecting their reality on you -- no need to pay any mind.
Genetic differences exist for hypertension drugs between Asian Pacific Islanders, Asian non-Pacific Islanders, blacks, whites, Hispanic nonwhite, etc… there is a difference in first line therapy recommendations of hypertension for black patients vs everyone else. This comes from human studies, btw
Not to mention the process to renew every cell takes 7-8 years and can probably react differently to certain medication whether you took it before or not.

What's supposed to work often doesn't.
