If you have spasms, fasiculations, you really might need magnesium. You can soak in epsom salts, and if that helps, you
can try an oral supplement. Avoid oxide form as it doesn't get absorbed. But any chelate or SlowMag helps muscles and nerves. Magnesium is used in the mitochondria of each cell for energy production. It is very essential.

Studies show most Americans do not eat enough foods with magnesium in them. If you get SlowMag-- 2 of those a day is usually enough. Aim for about 1/2 the RDA (200mg elemental) of magnesium from chelates, to start. Chelates are citrate, gluconate, glycinate, lactate, malate.
