Hello helennicola! I have to take two magnesium glycinate (total 400mg.), twice daily or I willl get the most painful tetany of muscles on the top of my ankle, feet, toes and even the giant aductor (inner thigh) muscles and hamstrings that can last 15 minutes or more. They are agony and I'm positive that were I to have these in public, and people saw me trying to stretch them out and crying out in pain, they would all call 911!! That's just my input on Magnesium. Best wishes, Sunnyflower 😊

Sunny, I am glad it helps this problem for you.
Yesterday Marilyn @steeldove sent me an article that opened my eyes to the benefits of magnesium, which I was already aware of to an extent, but not to the extent I am now. Magnesium is like a miracle mineral. I have been having trouble getting to sleep for the first hour every night for at least a couple of weeks. Last night for the first time, I took 160 mg of Magnesium citrate and I had a much better time getting to sleep. I have ordered some magnesium glycinate as the other article she sent me extolled it's ability to make one drowsy more easily and it's better absorption. I take everything I learn about with a grain of salt, but when something works like it did last night, that gets my attention! So I am not surprised at how it helps your problem in your legs. All my best, Hank

Hi Sunnyflower, glad you get relief for your horrific cramps with magnesium, I also take magnesium for chronic foot/leg cramps, I also use Theraworx and ProCure epsom salt gel at times plus nightly calf stretches and massages. Magnesium never helped me with sleep although many people find it beneficial.
