Magnesium Citrate: Magnesium Citrate is often used. But you can also get magnesium from foods - spinach& other green leafy vegetables as well as, pumpkin and sunflower seeds. You will get more magnesium if you eat the veggies raw.

Topical: Magnesium has many functions throughout the body, from blood sugar and blood pressure regulation to nerve and muscle function. Persons with low Magnesium blood levels can benefit from oral supplementation. In fibromyalgia, patients treated with topical or spray magnesium have been shown to improve their pain levels. Talk to your Dr about testing blood magnesium levels and topical supplementation.
