Health Benefits Magnesium plays a variety of roles in the body. Not only is it critical for energy production and proper nerve function, it also promotes muscle relaxation and helps the body produce and use insulin. Like calcium, another mineral it's commonly paired with in supplement products, magnesium is involved in the formation of bones and teeth, the clotting of blood, and the regulation of heart rhythm. Magnesium, sometimes taken in combination with calcium, is often used to treat such ailments as back pain, high blood pressure, depression, anxiety and panic, muscle cramps, and migraine headache.

AphexPhode I can't get your links to work. do we need a membership to that site to read it?

Sd1136 it is hard to get a toxic level unless you have impaired kidney function.

However if you swallow more then you need your body will pee it out and you are wasting your money then.

I take both Magnesium and Malic Acid for my fibromyalgia and both have helped tremendously. Studies have shown that those with fibro are deficient in magnesium and that malic acid helps with energy levels.

The magnesium got rid of the muscle spasms I would get all the time. When I stop taking it, the spasms come back.

The general population tends to have a magnesium deficiency as well, so this is a good supplement to take.

Re: Magnesium - Are you getting enough??

Thanks for all of this info; I've got a related thread up about the severe muscle spasms/cramps I get frequently, and it might be related to magnesium deficency. I'm ordering more supplements tomorrow!
