Yes, I am going through the trials and tribulations of magnesium deficiency causing racing heart, anxiety, depression, sleeplessness, RLS and cramps in both legs (at the same time). I was checked for mag deficiency by doing the urine and serum blood test. My kidneys are excreting magnesium due to Type II Diabetes. In the process it has managed to give me kidney stones. Doing research I have learned that Vit K2 (m-7 specifically) is one of the "gatekeepers" for calcium, mag., vit D3 and probably many others. Vit K2 (m-7) is found in organ meats which most of us no longer eat as our ancestors did. It has promising research for Alzheimer's, dementia and Parkinson's. Magnesium glycinate has helped a lot, but am also going to try the threonate form in addition to this one. I also have polycystic ovary syndrome which eventually caused uterine cancer at age 51 and even though I have had a total hysterectomy the PCOS continues. I also have hypothyroidism which was misdiagnosed by an MD which in turn caused rapid weight gain the Type II diabetes...a domino effect. You should always get copies of your bloodwork, because MD's do make life threatening mistakes. Good Luck.

Unknown, but also unstudied is the idea that negative ions help with depression. Google it. That worked for me in about three days. Maybe then you can sleep better?

To be honest, I have been taking vitamins forever and have healthy nails and hair. I think a gelatine supplement would be helpful in that area if you need extra help. I look forward to taking these vitamins, they are a "treat". God bless and good health to you!!!

Coprum Metallicum and Magnesia Sulfate. I wouldn't bother to waste your money. It was expensive, came in a very small bottle that ran out in no time and it didn't work. I use Hyland's Leg Cramps and Hyland's Leg Cramp PM. Both are sold on Amazon and in drugstores. Better buy on Amazon. There are 7 ingredients in the daytime and about 12 in the PM. Other than magnesium I haven't heard of the ingredients except for the Quinine. These are homeopathic pills. Hylands has a website with these and other products. I swear by these products as they have helped immensely. Check them out and good luck. Hope I helped. Susan

Google making magnesium oil for the best information. I have read lots of posts about it on various websites but never made any myself.

Hi, The only Magnesium it has listed is 'Magnesium' of 200mg. It does not have any references (not even in their Statement Of Elements document) on any other Magnesium element. Hope this helps.

Yes!! It most certainly will. But it has to say "Magnesium Glycinate" because regular old Magnesium isn't absorbed in the body very well so it's pretty much a waist. I've had RLS for many years and I also take Mirapex which helps some but it doesn't work 100%. If anybody even mentions to me that they has RLS...I am happy to tell em what I've found that actually works!! ( FYI I did hours and hours of studying up on the cause and things that that can be done to help anyone with RLS. Hope this helps someone!!! :)

Am not sure about x-peak, but if you are referring to what brought about the ems crisis, according to what I read it wasn't just tryptophan contaminants as much as tryptophan itself which even when pure produces harmful metabolites, and also raises systematic histamin levels to a very bad level , so much that it can initiate ems syndrome. .. 5htp is a step up from tryptophan, and add far as i know, I don't think it has that effect. .. That being said however, take caution with 5htp since it has thepotential to cause heart valve fibrosis when at high levels. . Other than that I can only day that 5htp was a key supplement when taken for a month at repeated low daily doses in completely taking out my depression. .. But if you wish to use it for that pls do your own research on what to take it with and what not to take it with, for how long, and at what times. . And according to how it unfolds to you.. Just some notes to help: Sometimes you may need to incorporate tyrosin with 5htp therapy. . Depression can be caused from more than one thing ( physical or mental stress, diet, too much junk food, cellular stress, b deficiency, zinc, selenium, magnesium, lack of omega 3s, drug use.. And so on.. The point is that if you are trying to treat a low mood problem, which I don't know if you are, the key is first good diet with protiens and good complex carbs, excercise and move on to the rest, you know what your doing right or wrong best. Off topic but I found mr. Happy stacks (uridine, omega 3, and choline to be a good stabilizers).. Again what works for one might not work for the other, but I just thought it would be helpful to throw around my thoughts. . But I recommend you look into uridine if you have a low motivation problem, since it upregulates dopamine receptors. . Sorry if this is long and boring, and not what you were looking for. Good luck and stay healthy!

Amazon has a bad habit of combining comments and questions for several forms of a product.I found the tablets too large to swallow. I switched to a long tablet of calcium, and magnesium separately. Sundown Naturals 600 mg calcium plus vitamin D (that's 600 mg calcium PER TABLET) and Sundown Naturals Magnesium 250 mg make a good combination for me, and both are available on Amazon. They also make a 500 mg Magnesium which I just ordered; I haven't opened it yet, but it's clear that they are larger than the 250mg, but not too large.

I am not qualified to answer this question. The person who was treating me in the acupuncture school recommended this product to me. I have osteopenia and also had leg and foot cramps. I suggest you google the name of the product (magnesium glycinate) and read what comes up that is relevant. Also, possibly do check with an acupuncturist about that restless leg syndrome and see what they suggest and what they think of this kind of product for that. There is also a book written on the advantages of taking magnesium. I hope those suggestions are helpful to you. All the very best in your research and resolving the issue.

I have bad reflux and heartburn. I need to take magnesium to counter act the depletion of it from all of the antacids. However I'm nervous because citric acid makes it worse usually. Has anyone with these issues had any problems with this product?

I don't know how much magnesium is in each spray, but I do know my Dr told me to apply it to tight painful muscles that I have due to Fibromyalgia. I mostly apply to shoulders and upper arms because that's where the pain usually is. He said most is not absorbed into the blood stream, but if it is, it just loosens the bowels and goes out that way. You can't have a toxic buildup.

By reading the label, it says each capsule has 200 mg magnesium. Otherwise I would contact the company for an in depth analysis. They're the ones who manufacture it!

yes,it is,worth every penny,magnesium is not easily bioavailable for people and it is much better to get it this way or spray or lotion .

They have a website. Send them an email and ask. I did this for their magnesium supplement. I have crohn's disease and it becomes painful when I stop using Prescript-Assist.
