I tried taking extra magnesium for my arm muscle pain but it seems to give me an upset stomach -200mgs

Any suggestions?

What type of magnesium are you taking there are 4 types. I take 800 mg a day. The one i take comes from Dr. Sinatra. I have never had a problem. Check out products at www.drsinarta.com

Best way to get the magnesium into your system is to use unperfumed Epsom salts in a warm bath or to get the cream. Your skin absorbs the magnesium really well, and it doesn't upset your stomach :) You need to do it regularly, but it really is effective.

Magnesium oxide form is a laxative.... it doesn't work and just makes you "go".

This lotion if you are in the US is at WalMart and Walgreen's...and is just very handy and excellent. I think it is better absorbed than the epsom salt baths. It is also now on Amazon.com

Use directly on the target area... only small amounts are necessary. This is not a moisturizer, and the magnesium should be used carefully. Start with a quarter sized dollop on you arm once a day and see what happens. If you take blood pressure drugs, monitor your pressures. This lotion lowers my blood pressure from high readings to normal.
