@jc76 Please see my reply to @rbursch1944 - With a little effort, it is entirely possible to get the magnesium you need from your diet.
What is preventing you from doing it? If you only look at "the top 30 magnesium rich foods" it looks impossible. But if you look a little deeper at everything you eat in a day (the second link I listed) you will see that you probably get plenty, or you can with a few small adjustments.

I am sure most can get magnesium from their diet.
However many of us have been directed by our medical doctors to take a supplement. My Electrophysiologist recommended I take an OTC supplement of 400 mg a day. This was because of PVCs, PACs, getting worse. I am going to follow that medical advice.
As you can see from my previous post I was in hospital recently and on a very regimented diet for cardiology. You would think Mayo would be ensuring magnesium as well as other vitamins, minerals were in the diet food they serve you.
However looks like hospital cardiology food did not provide the correct amount for me. I was getting ready to be discharged after 3 ICD shocks (4 days in cardiac ICU) and they were taking blood test every day. The nurse said to me can't release you unless your magnesium is above 2. And with that they started an I.V. of magnesium.
I eat a lot of no salt mixed nuts, green vegetables but my Mayo EP has asked me to take a magnesium supplement and will do so. Appreciate your advice and help but for many of us we probably need a correct and ongoing amount of magnesium guaranteed.
