A member asked:
I am taking 100-125 mg. magnesium to help myself fall asleep(slight/moderate insomnia). is it going to have any negative side effect(29 yrs male)?

I am unsure of the: meds of you are on. However for the general population in good health magnesium helps with proper elimination of bowels . Helps relax people somewhat, increases muscle relaxation. Ask a general practitioner who is familiar with the meds and diagnoses you have.
