Anecdotal evidence - instead of taking the Donnatol the doctors have prescribed for Porphyria related pain, I drink magnesium citrate & it works. Donnatol is a muscle relaxer used to stop intestinal spasms. Magnesium sulfate (Epsom salts) works better; but, tastes worse than magnesium citrate.

∙ 11y agoThe short answer is YES. But, you need to be careful in the type and amount of magnesium you take. An Epsom Salts bath can do wonders for aching muscles. There is magnesium in Epson Salts and the warm water opens your pores and allows you to get magnesium without it bothering your stomach. Too much, or the wrong kind of magnesium, can give you loose stools (I don't mean the kitchen variety).
If you are always getting cramps or have restless legs you may be deficient in magnesium. I take a daily dose of ionic magnesium citrate which goes by the name of "Natural Calm" produced by Natural Vitality. I immediately noticed I was not cramping up when I stretched my legs in the morning. I also have not experienced restless legs since I started about 6 months ago.
By the way, there is no appropriate test for magnesium deficiency. Your body will divert magnesium from your muscles to your blood in order to save your heart, so by the time a blood test shows your deficient it means that the magnesium has already been drained from all your other muscles and you probably already have fibromyalgia or the like.

Does the magnesium formula rls-h advertised on the web work for restless legs?
Health Canada has never approved this product for RLS. There are no scientific reviews of any magnesium supplement that demonstrates that it relieves RLS. Claims made that it would save billions are a fabrication. The company seems to post to financial web sites. In reality, they are looking for funding on a few web sites. Why would anyone believe their claims? The RLS-H Formula has been sold for years and has 1000's of people using it for relief of their restless legs. Regarding the statement, "there are no studies supporting magnesium and restless legs" A simple search online will prove this wrong. If you searched "magnesium and rls" one can simply see the truth. People must keep in mind that there are organizations working very effectively behind the scenes keeping natural cures away from people. The power of the internet is stopping this. The best thing to do is to try this product, if it does not work a full refund is given.
How does magnesium citrate work?
Magnesium is the pure element, however it is not found in nature by itself, it always bonds with another element. So you have many forms of magnesium such as magnesium Aspartate, bicarbonate, Carbonate, Chloride, Citrate, Gluconate, Glycinate, Hydroxide, Lactate, Malate, Orotate, Oxide, Phophate, Picolinate, Propionate, Stearate, Sulfate and Taurate, to name a few. All these different forms have one other element that they are bonded with magnesium + citric acid = magnesium citrate for instance. These different forms of magnesium have two specific qualities A. they have percentage of actual elemental magnesium i.e. how much of the combination is actual pure magnesium e.g. magnesium carbonate is 45% actual magnesium, where as magnesium sulfate is only 10% actual magnesium B. they have a rough percentage of bioavailability (how absorbable and thus useable they are for the body). For instance magnesium citrate is 90% bioavailable and so most of it could be potentially used and absorbed by the body. Magnesium oxide for instance is only 4% bioavailable for the body and so if one took magnesium oxide which had 100mg of actual magnesium in it, there would only be 4mg that the body could possible use. Let me know if this answers your question. Kind Regards, Fifty Pence

When is the best tine to take Blue Bonnet liquid calcium magnesium citrate?
Hi, I work for Bluebonnet. The Liquid Calcium Magnesium Citrate Plus Vitamin D3 is best taken in the morning (1 TBSP) and at night (1 TSBP). The body can only absorb 400 to 600 mg of elemental calcium at a time - that is the reason for splitting the serving size (i.e., 2 TBSP) plus, calcium taken at night helps to support sleep.
