I take a Magnesium Citrate supplement daily, and take occasional Epsom salt baths and use topical Magnesium Oil when needed for muscle pain/cramps. Great article and info here...http://www.natmedtalk.com/showthread.php?t=27757
I've been taking Magnesium capsules (1 per day) for quite a few years now.... don't know if it's the Placebo effect but I don't get painful leg cramps
anymore.
It really works, the magnesium oil on a leg cramp will give relief in seconds. Magnesium relaxes the muscles. I keep my oil handy on the bottom shelf in the bathroom, because sometimes when I'm kneeling or squatting doing housework, I'll get a painful cramp on the bottom of my foot...don't like to hobble around too much trying to get to the oil.
