Had severe constipation because of pain medication I have to take on a daily basis. Had tried stool softners with little effectivenss. After several episodes with an impacted bowel I went to a health food store and spoke with the owner who recommended the magnesium. Since that day (about 2 weeks ago) I have had 1-2 normal BM a day.

I have RLS, and at night. I cannot sleep too long because of it. I took a 500mg mag pill, and that night, no RLS. Is this an effective way to control my RLS? DMC

I am a care giver. My mother suggested magnesium to my husband when he had on-going muscle cramps in his leg. Within a week, he had no more cramps; and has had only rare times of any onset of cramping. My brother-in-law and also a male friend complained of cramps (back and calves). They also began taking magnesium and happy to report they have no more cramping after a week on 250 mg a day.

Had a headache for 2 yrs straight. Entered hospital to break it. Was treated with IV magnesium. Am taking 250 mg/day now; am still having some headaches but not every day all day. Am considering taking 500 mg/day until it gets in my system a little more.

I take 3 500mg from GNC per day. What a difference. I now have BM's 2-5 times EVERY day, where as before taking these I would go longer than a week without a BM. YES... I would recommend these to everybody that has this problems and I will never be off of these supplements. NOTE... you have to use the ones from GNC. They are capsules instead of the powder tablet.
