User Reviews for magnesium

I was having 30-40 cramps per night in my hands, fingers, toes, feet and legs. I read that by taking cod liver oil, garlic oil and 500 mg. magnesium together it might help. They stopped the cramps immediately. I have continued taking these 3 vitamins every night for 4 years. For me it has worked wonders. No more cramps!

Have to continue taking due to persistent cramps in the early morning hours.

I take 2x daily 250mg 1 wk before onset. Works to reduce cramping. I buy Rexall brand.

I have been having leg cramps

I had been suffering from Restless Leg Syndrome for years. Started taking Magnesium and the night pain went away. When I stopped taking Magnesium pain would come back. Things I noticed about taking Magnesium. -Was waking up at 3:00 am and had hard time getting back to sleep. Read Magnesium give you energy. Started taking it in morning and I started sleeping thourgh the night and the still had no leg pain at night. -I am trying to eat more foods rich in Magnesium. I was taking a supplement with Magnesium/Calcium/D3 and 3 weeks ago switched to a 500 mg of Magnesium. Now I am not sleeping well. Wake up at 2:00 am and wide awake. I believe I am getting too much Magnesium. I am going to switch to a 250 mg pill. I read we only need 425 mg of magnesium daily. Too much Magnesium supplement is not good for our body.Read More Read Less

Started taking magnesium about 7 years ago when my phys asst recommended trying it for hot flashes. Took about 1 month to get it into my system and I haven't had flashes until about a month ago, I got really slack and almost quit taking it. I started having terrible anxiety attacks and depression. A man at the co-op store said it sounded like a mag. defienciency and it hit me that I had not been taking it like I had been. So needless to say I went home and went right back on it and he suggested 1000 mg a day. Stools are loose but nothing I can't manage. After getting it back in my system, the anxiety and the hot flashes are completely gone. Magnesium really is a miracle.Read More Read Less

I believe it helps leg cramps and some constipation. Just don't want to over due

My doctor suggested I try the 400 mg a day because I also take nexium. The muscle cramps all but disappeared....I am an avid exerciser and this was a huge problem. Pms is doing much better also. Headaches have eased up and my general mood has been much better. I would also CRAVE mushrooms and spinach. While I don't mind eating those foods, it bothered me that the cravings were very specific, consistent and right on schedule with my cycle. This prompted me to ask my doctor. I usually take it right before lunch and don't suffer any sleepiness. And I don't have diarrhea either. So I am happy with the results!Read More Read Less

I've had migraines for 12 days now. I added magnesium to my regimen of imitrix,oxycodone and Xanax. I was desperate for relief. And it has truly helped. 2 pills in the am one in pm.

I was starting to have skipped beats a lot after added stress of returning to school. Dr. wanted to put me on medication. I said I thought I would try magnesium First as it had worked wonderfully as a muscle relaxant before and the heart IS a muscle, the DR was mad, said i should not use both Western med AND Alternative. I innocently asked Why? he said.well I guess you are. I bought drinkable liquid magnesium from a Good shop, in 2 !!! days my heart rate was normal I could not feel the skipped beats at all! there are diff forms of Mag that wont bother some stomachs like flakes to dilute and spray on, or soaking in Epsom salts bath, Epsom salts IS MAGNESIUM, or rub on oil of Magnesium some need to slowly build up to taking it by mouth with the Calms tea like drink Read More Read Less

i have a hard time keep it up. It was 46 yesterday when the dr phoned and said I need a tranferiun. What should it be. Thank you.

Works quite well, just take 400 mg in the morning along with some Zink (if u have stress) and it works quite well for me.

Not only does this help with high blood pressure aches and pains but magnesium helps me sleep as I take it before bed.

For treating ADD, with similar beneficial (but short-lasting) effect of MPH medication.

Currently dealing with IBS and was taking 800 mg a day...I will cut back big time....

magnesium IS THE SUPER FOOD! SPINACH, BANANA'S AND BROCCOLI for the foods sold on the market today the magnesium helps clear blood flow to the cells so the nutrients get to the tissues and cells! great find!... 5 stars..... add this to black seed, mustard seeds and chia seeds in your diets with the basic vitamins over the counter and no need for E.D treatment and many other toxins given to us daily by our commerce and big farma, monsanto and the rest of the KKK..... take the magnesium, black seed, mustard seeds, chia seeds and then add the black mica extract in your water and see your health, it's like the fountain of youth.... research all the above mentioned on the w.w.w and see the facts for yourself.

I have been taking 250mg of Magnesium daily for six months and I now am totally free of muscle cramps.

I use 100-200mg magnesium malate (preferred by my naturopath) at bedtime and it helps my muscles relax so I get a full night's restful sleep. My husband takes 100 mg before bed and it has stopped his mild RLS which also helps him get a better night's sleep. Magnesium malate is less likely to cause intestinal upset and also helps chelate some heavy metals from the brain.
