20. I heartily agree about magnesium

I stumbled upon article after article about magnesium deficiency while researching my husbands restless leg syndrome and my sleep issues. It's nothing short of miraculous.

I started taking magnesium citrate at night right before bed. I used to sleep 5 or 6 hours, wake up and be exhausted for the rest of the day. After 4 days taking the supplement, I sleep 8 or 9 hours straight through and my daytime sleepiness is gone, as well as my annoying eye twitches and back spasms.

My husband no longer has leg jumps all night long or the drenching night sweats. He takes magnesium malate because the citrate form gives him diarrhea. His chronic neck spasms are gone, which were caused by a car accident 14 years ago.

Your links are very helpful, I haven't heard of the transdermal method and will look into it more.
