Thumbs up

I am glad the magnesium is working for you. I've been using it for leg cramps for over 10 yrs. Whenever we overdo in the garden or some other job and get sore, we up our magnesium too. That is why I have a long thread on this forum about it.

Most people are below daily RDA levels and are running on that low level, and having many problems, including muscle pain.

Almonds have alot in them, and I like to do that too, since I get loose easily from magnesium supplements. 3oz has 270mg.
That is why I like the SlowMag, as it doesn't cause that laxative thing for me like others do.

You will want to be careful though with high doses, and make sure you get a renal panel now and then at the doctor's to make sure your kidneys are handling it okay. As kidney functions decrease with age, handling magnesium may become a problem if you are taking high doses of it.
