I, too, have been reading a bit about magnesium supplementation and transdermal therapy. Long ago in my journey, a Feldenkrais practitioner insisted I supplement with Magnesium during my therapy with her. I was pointed to a health food store where the pills I bought were GIANT, and I only took them now and then when I had the courage.
Later, I tried the Citrate variety in powder form, but that proved to be more of a laxative and I could never get into higher mg supplementation with it. I'm now using a brand called Jigsaw http://www.jigsawhealth.com/supplements/magnesium The pills are easy to swallow and I have been able to slowly get up to 750mg over the past weeks with minimal gastric issues. I'm also using Ancient Minerals Magnesium Oil and Lotion. I made the mistake of not rinsing off the oil after 20 min and got into trouble with rashes and skin irritation. The lotion causes no problems, but it absorbs at a lower rate. It's to early to tell if anything positive will come from this trial. I always assumed I ate a well-balanced, close to the source diet as possible, but when you read about the foods which are high in magnesium, I ate very few. Going through this TOS process has been devastating on my adrenals, and in addition, I ate a calcium rich diet to fend off early-onset of Osteoporosis. Sounds like it takes a couple of months at minimum to "notice" any benefits from supplementation for my use, so I'll keep you posted. |

im taking slow release magtab which is very similar and on top of that glycinate and eposm salt baths (bc im severely deficient). you will notice in a few weeks you sleep better. the more you feel it the more deficient you are imho.
i AGREE. supplementing magnesium is a must. i thought id comment in here ia m too lazy to make a new thread. since we're speaking of alternative therapies, my sex hormones are messed up. i have negative progesterone and very very very little testosterone which can definitely effect things. i'm hoping to improve this with diet and exercise.

Similar experience here to Anne4tos. I use the mag citrate, but cannot take much of it without gi issues.
I use the Ancient Minerals Mag too and yeah, it was itchy. Interestingly, after a couple of months, it's not itchy any more even after an hour. I also quit coffee because caffeine causes the body to eliminate magnesium. |

I had problems with circulation through my calves and feet due to the calves being so tight. Similar to what's described at http://www.ctds.info/ankles1.html although with less swelling.
I added calf and hamstring stretches to my daily routine and saw an improvement after a week. I even went with the book she recommended, Stretching by Bob Anderson. |
