Folks, this is a cheap mineral to supplement. Consider forms other than Magnesium Oxide and Magnesium Citrate to minimize bowel discomfort, though.

Thanks for that. I take Magnesium Citrate in powder form because after some research, it is the most effective. So far, no bowel discomfort.

I like super magnesium myself 👍🏻

Taking magnesium may cause loose bowels at first but this goes away after a few days. Magnesium is an excellent remedy for many types of muscle aches and especially charlie horses. We use a brand called Calm regularly.

I had night pains in my entire right leg, like cramps. They stopped 2 days after starting 400MG of Magnesium daily.

[Veto!]

Do they say how much magnesium you need? I take liquid calcium/magnesium every night, one tablespoon. It has 300 mg magnesium. I’m a very small person, so I’m sure that’s enough.

Also eat some, but not all of the natural sources listed on this thread.

What is the recommended dosage for magnesium?

[ProtectOurFreedom]

“Food First” is the right approach. Here are the top foods for magnesium. Magnesium deficiency is very rare and supplements are rarely needed.

Note the nonsense in #3: “Shredded wheat (plain, unfrosted).” UNFROSTED?? Are they nuts?

1. Nuts and seeds
Almonds (roasted): 1 ounce = 80 milligrams of magnesium (20% of the recommended dietary allowance).
Cashews (roasted): 1 ounce = 72 milligrams of magnesium (18% RDA).
Flaxseed (whole): 1 tablespoon = 40 milligrams of magnesium (10% RDA).
Peanuts (dry roasted): 1 ounce = 49 milligrams of magnesium (12% RDA).
Pumpkin seeds (hulled, roasted): 1 ounce = 150 milligrams of magnesium (37% RDA).

2. Legumes
Black beans (boiled): 1/2 cup = 60 milligrams of magnesium (15% RDA).
Edamame (cooked, prepared): 1/2 cup = 50 milligrams of magnesium (12% RDA).
Lima beans (cooked): 1/2 cup = 40 milligrams of magnesium (10% RDA).

3. Fiber-rich whole grains
Quinoa (cooked): 1/2 cup = 60 milligrams of magnesium (15% RDA).
Shredded wheat (plain, unfrosted): 1 cup = 56 milligrams of magnesium (14% RDA).

4. Low-fat dairy products
Milk (nonfat): 1 cup = 24-27 milligrams of magnesium (7% RDA).
Yogurt (plain, low fat): 8 oz. = 42 milligrams of magnesium (10% RDA).

5. Greens
Spinach (cooked): 1/2 cup = 78 milligrams of magnesium (19% RDA).

6. Chocolate
Dark chocolate (70-85% cocoa): 1 oz. = 64 milligrams of magnesium (16% RDA).

I take Natural Calm it helps you sleep, makes sure you don’t get leg cramps and is high in magnesium carbonate, calcium, Vitamin C, Vitamin D and just mixes in warm water to take before bed.

[surroundedbyblue]

Thanks for this. I recently started taking 400 mg magnesium daily in addition to D3 and K2

[telescope115]

After my transplant, they have me taking (among other meds) magnesium oxide, 400mg 4x daily. No side effects that I can tell so far, going on 8 months.
Brand name is “Rising”. I have to order it, couldn’t find it locally.

I get m blood tested regularly. My magnesium level is generally near or at the top of the normal range. I guess I don’t need to do anything different.
