Does magnesium help neuropathy?

My Magtein Magnesium L-threonate is 2000 mg per serving. A daily serving is 4 . I never noticed that on the bottle before. I only take one a day. Occasionally I have diarrhea that stops with 2 Lopiramide.. So each pill of Magnesium contains 500 mg.

Yes, I have received magnesium infusions for my idiopathic neuropathy and for me it has helped tremendously. I had severe foot pain from my neuropathy recently and it was so bad it sent me to the Emergency room. There they did some blood work and diagnosed me with a magnesium deficiency. They gave me an infusion there at the hospital and I felt like a new person. So for me, it felt great.

@cadenz hi! I am taking 400 mg magnesium capsules at night to help me with my sleep but I wasn’t aware it also help the neuropathic pain. If anyone has more info about that please share. Thank you !

Frequency of cramps in my calf and foot reduced considerably after I started taking magnesium.

Possibly, I didn't take it long enough. I bought a bottle before checking the correct dosage. The suggested dosage is 300 or so and my bottle was 700mg. I quit taking it because videos said that was a dangerous amount. I had thought about splitting the capsules. But for the two weeks or so that I took it, I felt no difference in helping me sleep. This was several months ago. I have now developed neuropathy, so I might consider that more now. I wonder why a company would sell a product that was not the correctly accepted dosage.

@sbelur how much magnesium are you taking per day?

Totally about 500 mg Magnesium Glycinate per day

Topical magnesium oil might also be beneficial.

You can get magnesium citrate/glycinate in liquid form on Amazon. I'm going to switch over to that as soon as I run out of capsules.
