magnesium compounds

* Magnesium's hydroxide is used in milk of magnesia, its chloride and citrate used as oral magnesium supplements, and its sulfate (Epsom salts) for various purposes in medicine, and elsewhere.
* Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) is used to treat aches and sore throats.
* Dead-burned magnesite is used for refractory purposes such as brick and liners in furnaces and converters.
* Magnesium carbonate (MgCO3) powder is also used by athletes, such as gymnasts and weightlifters, to improve the grip on objects – the apparatus or lifting bar.
* Magnesium stearate is a slightly flammable white powder with lubricative properties. In pharmaceutical technology it is used in the manufacturing of tablets, to prevent the tablets from sticking to the equipment during the tablet compression process (i.e., when the tablet's substance is pressed into tablet form).
* Magnesium borate, magnesium salicylate and magnesium sulfate are used as antiseptics to kill germs.
* Magnesium bromide is used as a mild sedative.
* Magnesium in the forms of magnesium oxide and magnesium gluconate are used in dietary supplement tablets. These have been shown to be an effective therapy for some individuals who suffer from Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS).
* Magnesium sulfite is used in the manufacture of paper.
* Magnesium phosphate is used to fireproof wood for construction.
* Magnesium hexafluorosilicate is used in mothproofing of textiles.
* The magnesium ion is necessary for all life (see magnesium in biological systems), so magnesium salts are an additive for foods, fertilizers (Mg is a component of chlorophyll), and culture media.

Hi clouds,
You might find a combination of calcium and magnesium helps.
I know that Bonnie Grimaldi, who has done some research into magnesium supplementation and tics for example, suggests ratio of 2:1 calcium to magnesium so that they will be absorbed correctly. Might be worth asking someone else about that.

I take a powder form. It's got some other minerals in it as well. It helps me sometimes with my RLS although I don't actually have muscle cramps. A cheaper way of seeing if it helps you is to buy the epsom salts and use that in a bath.

There are some helpful posts in the Vitamins, Nutrients, Herbs, Supplements Forum about magnesium. http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/showthread.php?t=1138

RLS doesn't feel the same as leg cramps. It's more of a gnawing edgy feeling inside with a need to move. Hard to explain.

i bought the magnisium because i heard it was goodfor ocd and ocd is liketourettes in a way

i feel like im 29 again sort of

im somewhat happy-disgusted with doctors though

Thanks, Clouds z I am going to try this magnesium oxide. I have plain old magnesim and it doe not do much. Last night I had to jump out of bed several times from the cramps in my legs. I always feel like they need a good stretch but as soon as I attempt to stretch them they cramp up. It is painful and disturbing to my sleep. Thanks again!!!

Hi Clouds

Wow - I'm glad to hear the magnesium helped and is making you feel like you're 29 again. At this rate, you'll be a spring chicken in no time at all.
