Magnesium citrate powder works quicker and helps insomnia.

In reply to KaD. Yes! I've have that symptom. Magnesium does get rid of it.

Leg cramps at night can be a sign too. Speaking from experience here.

In reply to Patricia Arata. It is overwhelming to shop for supplements. Lately, I have been buying direct from my holistic health coach so I get it right.

In reply to Lisa. Still using the soaps but I have added Magnesium, 250 mg. Of course, didn't realize that I purchased the wrong one, according to this blog. The label on the BACK, says 250mg (as Magnesium Oxide). Since it wasn't on the front label and standing in the supplement and vitamin aisle is sometimes overwhelming, I goofed. If it okay to continue taking these? AND guess what: I have 2 large bottles of 300 pills. Taking these 1 at a time figures out to almost 2 whole years!

In reply to Patricia Arata. From what I've read, there's magnesium in the soap. I would think it'd be more effective to rub magnesium directly onto the skin.

This is going to sound weird but … here goes… I suffer from foot cramps, many of them. Sometimes just flexing my foot in order to slip into a shoe will trigger a cramp. They happen at night, multiple cramps with nothing to brace my leg/foot on to try to break the cramp unless i get out of bed and stand. I read someplace that a bar of soap would stop the cramps. SOOOO, I put 4 or 5 bars of soap in my bed between the sheet and mattress cover down by my feet and in a month, I’ve only had 3 cramps. I know it sounds like voodoo but truly, this has diminished my cramps by 99%. Many people have suggested magnesium for foot cramps…can the soap fix be explained?

Also cramps in the calf muscles, especially at night. Used to have that before taking a magnesium supplement.

In reply to Cammy. Do not take magnesium oxide. You can find the best types of magnesium to take here. That article states that magnesium citrate is popular because it's inexpensive and is easily absorbed. So, it's a good choice. Taking too much of any supplement can cause imbalances. But, magnesium is pretty safe when taken in the recommended dosage. If you do take too much, it may upset the balance with calcium and possibly lead to a calcium deficiency. I'm not sure about the interaction with medications, but you should be able to find that answer here.

In reply to Judy. It really is tough to know for sure without doing testing.
