I supplement with with one Magnesium Citrate 225mg each day, and that has helped with cramping--but it is likely I don't get as much calcium as I used to. I do eat leafy green vegetbles, but my dairy consumption is way down due to the mucous it tends to produce--don't drink milk often at all and don't eat much dairy or ice cream, so I wonder if I'm getting too much magnesium compared to calcium. (I do take 1000IU of Vitamn D each day and try to get out in the sun for 15-20 minutes, though I sunburn easily.)

I sort of remember from a while back that it was thought if one was supplementing, one should take calcium in about a 2:1 ratio with magnesium and take the supplements at different times, as they are chemically antagonistic in the digestive tract, interefering with each other's absorption--anyone got an idea (Mrs D) as to this?
