I take 300 mg of magnesium most days, I find it helpful :)

I take 1600mg of magnesium a day. I find it helps with my muscle aches and stops my constipation. I need regular blood tests though to make sure I do not have magnesium overload. I make that mistake with B6.

No harm it trying and seeing what it does for you

I take calcium supplement that includes Magnesium. We need it!! It does help with the muscles. My arms and legs used to get twitches or tics. The added Magnesium put a quick end to that.

The only problem I have found with too much magnesium is...um....a need to visit the toilet more often! Common side effect!! Some people can't take Magnesium at all because the bowel problem is such a big one. Other's do well. Try to start out with low doses and work you way up.

I'm one of those who always checks with my doctor as to dosage. I don't try to figure everything out myself. Too much of things can be more dangerous than not enough.

Please check with your doctor and maybe a blood draw to see if you are low on Magnesium!

To much magnesium can causes problems with bowel control. That is embarrasing.

Magnesium helps me especially
t when I get cramping in my legs.
My doctor suggested I take it early on. I saw on another
website that people react differently to different kinds. I take
the malate. That seems to work. I also take calcium but
have to take it later so it doesn't interfere with my thyroid
medication in the morning.

lots of benefits for sure-- I have found the health food store staff very helpful-- giving it 30 days to see if you notice a difference seems to be cross the board advice when dealing with supplements--its not like pharmaceuticals it works much slower but much longer. The cleaner the supplement the better (like no fillers), irregardless every bit of help we offer our body it thanks us.

I take a supplement that has Calcium/Magnesium and Zinc. My Doctor recommended it because I was having a lot of muscle spasms. It seems to help. I wish I could remember the amounts of each in the supplement but I am at work and the bottle is at home. I take it at night because I read that magnesium has a relaxing effect to it. So it helps relax me before bed:)
