Not mainstream: B"sd 1992 study found magnesium gluconate 1 gm orally four times daily of no benefit http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1733187 perhaps doctor has evidence for a benefit at twice the dose? Generally do not exceed ~40meq (490mg elemental Mg++) ~ 17 tabs Mg Gluc /day to reduce incidence of diarrhea. http://www.globalrph.com/magnesium_supplements.htm
