I know its a crapy subject.Before anyone ,I do eat my veggies..plenty of them.

It has been my experience with Mag that I need to take it every day for it to work. And it will take two to three days for enough to get into your system to help your body. You may have to play with the doses to get it right. I take between 500 - 700 mg a day, which is a fairly moderate dose. I take it every morning by simply putting it (my cal/mag/D vitamin) in my blender with the makings of my protien shake. You can also take them orally.

I had used metamucil, but found that the chemicals in it made my hands swell quite badly.

I tried psyllium husks every night before bed and right at waking for over a year. It was not much better.

Then I started putting calcium in my shake, and it had mag, and that is how I figured it out. Did some research and found out how it works.

Anyway, I am sure there are others here with other great ideas. Those are just mine.
