I am glad to see some of you have improvements with magnesium.

If you keep to 1/2 the daily requirement, about 200mg elemental, from a good source (not oxide type) you will still be within the RDA. Magnesium is needed for many many biochemical systems, and we just cannot live without it.

You can choose foods that are good sources, if you rather go that route.

www.nutritiondata.com has a good database on foods, and what they contain.

But 3 oz of unsalted almonds will give you 270mg! I have some other food suggestions on my magnesium thread:

Steroids deplete this mineral, and so do diuretics including caffeine.
