A member asked:
What is best for heartburn, magnesium or calcium?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Best is not to have: heartburn. Avoid foods with fats and spices. Regular exercise and stay stress free with no smoking. Magnesium may be better, but only for occasional heartburns. If you have it longer than few days, you need to get it checked.
