Yes it is a very good deal....however, you do not know how you will react to it. So keep that in mind too. Those tablets are really huge...maybe bigger than YOU have ever seen. You could break them,
which is what my son does.

React in what way? You mean as a laxative??

The Cal/Mag I have in the house now, well the magnesium dosage is 100 mg and they say to take 4 pills a day.

This one that's on sale at Puritan's...well, it's a higher dosage.

I gather it's a one a day pill.??????

I'm wondering what kind of side effect it might have. I haven't heard anything negative about this, have you?

thanks much.

Melody
P.S. I have spent the whole day (on and off), soaking my feet in the solution of Epsom Salts and cool water. I went out, came back and soaked it some more.

You can't over dose on this can you?? I just put about a half cup in a basin of water and stick my feet in it.

Potential reactions:

1) it won't work for you

2) the pill is too big to swallow

3) you get too loose with it.

The Puritan magmalate is a huge tablet and you only need
one a day ~~typically.
Some people may tolerate two a day.
They have 150mg of elemental magnesium in them. (more than most other supplements).

1. If it doesn't work - well it doesn't work!!!
2. The pill is too big to swallow.....I'll cut it in half!!
3. I'll get loose with it - HEAVEN!!!

lol

So go for it!

You're a hoot, Mel.

HOOT HOOT ---Thanks much!!!

Mrs. D. I just ordered it. Shipping was only .76 cents because I received a promotion code in today's mail and it offered shipping for only .76 cents. You can't beat that. What a great deal.

I just looked up Malic Acid online.

Get a load of this.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Malic acid is a natural substance found in fruit and vegetables - one of the richest sources being apples. It is also naturally present in your body's cells and large amounts of it are formed and then eventually broken down again on a daily basis.
It possesses many health-related benefits such as boosting immunity, maintaining oral health, reducing the risk of poisoning from a build-up of toxic metals and promoting smoother and firmer skin.

However, one of its most significant benefits lies in its ability to stimulate metabolism and increase energy production. This action is linked to the important role it plays in a process known as the Krebs cycle - named after Sir Hans Krebs, a German-born British biochemist.

WANT TO KNOW WHAT SOLD ME?? The first line of the second paragraph.

Vowel Lady:

I made my own (as Mrs. D. suggested).

I took one teaspoon of Epsom Salts, added a bit of water, then I added Aquafor and made a paste. I keep it in a little dish. Every night I put some on my toes.

Haven't been woken up by cramping toes yet. I also soak my feet in epsom salts and water right before doing this.

My feet never looked cleaner (lol), and it really does help with muscle spasms.

Just wanted to share.

Melody

how that MSM etc cream works. I'm always game to try.

I am having terrible spasms in my left toes lately. And only when I lie down.

I had a stomach bug over the weekend, (probably connected to my GI problem) so I could not take my magnesium as I do.
I also didn't eat much so my blood sugar was probably quite low. I almost fainted on an errand to the rock yard. It was raining when we left and cool, but by the time we got there (45min later) it had turned hot! There was a nice young man who helped me there and took over the lifting and carting of the flagstone we chose. Boy, I really felt elderly!
Last night those 2 toes tortured me. I finally gave in and took
the magnesium and decided if I was going to live in the bathroom that would be the lesser of the two evils.

I lucked out, and made it thru the night.

I am going to have to bring this up with the doctor in Sept.
It seems extreme for me all of a sudden.
