That's what a naturopath told me. I take 1000 mg a day and now, no more rls.
So I thought I better save some of you who want to get better too.

How long did you take this before you started feeling results? I took magnesium for awhile and it didn't help so maybe I didn't take it long enough.

Also the naturopath said that if the whole calf is in muscle spasm than you need iron, if it's small flickers (meaning small muscles spasms within the muscles) then you need magnesium. were you taking magnesium ONLY and not calcuim because calcium makes your muscles contract and mag makes then relax.

I was taking iron at the same time but not calcium. Maybe I need a combination of all three.
