It is true that most Americans don't get enough Magnesium in their diets because we don't eat enough beans, greens, whole grains, nuts and seeds. That said, I eat plenty of these because I eat a primarily whole foods, plant-based diet, high in inflammatory foods. Occasionally I've had nighttime leg cramps, so also take a supplement of magnesium citrate (the most absorbable form).

I'm similar to you. I eat a lot of high magnesium foods, but I also supplement with magnesium citrate. Magnesium has a lot of benefits - it's good for bone health, constipation, and anxiety. Also some research says it might help with insomnia.
