And the magnesium......he didn't mention that either. I'll ask my two "trusty friends" here to get some for me. My "gentleman" friend who now lives in Maryland, has to take it to replace what he loses from drinking so much!!! How much should I take -- one tablet daily?

Again, thank all of you!!! It's amazing here, whatever the MS question, someone has had experience with it before.

Goodnight......zzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Magnesium is complex... some forms don't work properly.
I have a thread explaining it here:
The old magnesium oxide is in many supplements, and has recently been shown in studies to not really be absorbed.
Other alternatives are on this thread including doses.

aim for 1/2 the RDA to start.
You can also do this with food choices which are on that thread too.

If you take certain drugs, you have to space magnesium out, away from them. Fluoroquinolones like cipro, or Neurontin/Lyrica, or tetracycline, cannot be taken with the supplements.

Current studies show up to 70% of people in USA are low in magnesium. This impacts many things--hundreds of enzymes, but most obviously the muscles, heart, and bones.
