How much/How long should you take a Mg supplement?

RDA is very low – we need at least 2-3x’s these doses

Experts estimate that 70-80% of people get LESS than the already deficient RDA recommendations

Take until symptoms disappear & Try different forms of Mg, then you only need to supplement 1-2x/wk

Over time you’ll need less & less

Use MORE when you are having muscle tension or pain or when having menstrual cramps
