Muscle Cramps

Those painful muscle cramps that awaken you at night will often be alleviated by magnesium (Mg). 

If you aren’t getting an absorbable form of magnesium----Mg citrate or Mg glycinate are good--- in your supplement regimen, and there are no contraindications, consider trying it.

The target dose is 400 mg / day, and it’s best to start with 100 mg / day, gradually increasing to  the target level. Slowly building to the target dose will help avoid diarrhea.
