| Re: confusion over magnesium
Hi Myth...i did a quick search an read that taking too much in supplement form can/does cause diarrhea, but if you get it from food its not such a problem. This is a list of foods high in magnesium, with more searching you could find more. Maybe you could try eating more high magnesuium foods and take less in tab form. I take 500 mg. of magnesium a day in different forms and so far everyhting is fine. I do notice since i've been taking it i sleep much better, another benefit. For a long time calcium has been the big bone builder and now they are finding that these other vitamins and minerals are just as if not more important. Look at how much has come out about vitamin D in the last few years. take care...phyllis
