I'm sure this subject has come up before but as I couldn't find it I figured I'd post again. Magnesium supplements are supposed to help with Fibromyalgia - and apparently they also help with my kidney conditions (Medullary Sponge Kidney). What I wanted to ask was, how much should I take? I have 250mg supplement pills that I picked up at the store yesterday and normally I'd just ask my doctor but I'm currently between doctors.

So how much magnesium should I take?

Thx!

I take a little over 700 mg. counting what's in the malic acid/magnesium supplement I take and my daily multiple vitamin. You might talk to your pharmacist, too. They know all about things like this...at least mine does.

I take 400 and sometimes 600 mgs at bedtime.

Make sure you have some labs done on your magnesium. Magnesium plays a big role in your organs. You dont want to over do it or not enough. I learned a hard lesson how important it's to monitor your vitamins levels.
