A member asked:
Does magnesium help lactic acid in the legs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No.: See the previous answer. If you have problems with blood flow in the lower extremities there are many other things to consider, but Mg supplementation is not going to do anything. On the other hand it won't hurt. Try it and see what you think.
