Magnesium
I was already taking a calcium/magnesium
supplement and eating many of the foods high
in Magnesium, but it obviously was not enough
for my body.
I decided to add Magnesium Bisglycinate to
the mix and I am very happy with the results.
I choose the Magnesium Bisglycinate because
it does not cause diarrhea when taking it on a
daily basis.
I find, I no longer take the extra Magnesium
Bisglycinate daily, I now take it 4 times a week.
I no longer have restless leg syndrome, I
rarely get migraines anymore, I sleep better and
have had a decrease in stress and anxiety.
Muscle cramps are not as common and usually
occur when I increase my exercise routine.
When this happens, I increase the Magnesium
Bisglycinate to everyday to get things back
under control.
The Magnesium helps disburse the build up of
lactic acid in the muscles from exercising.
