"Magnesium glutamate is what my endocrinologist 'recommend. I take 2 ,400 mg pills at bedtime. It jas been an amazing addition. It helps my sleep, it has taken away all of my nightly leg cramps. I really notice if I miss a dose. I see an endocrinologist for bone loss because of bone loss from steroids use. Love it. He said for magnesium to work correctly and to help with fibromyalgia pain, I need to take vitamin D3 and vitamin k with it. "
Others took about 500mg and some took 2 of the 500. The one pictured below does not give diarrhea but it is about 150 mg for 2 pills and it says to take this amount 2x a day.

It's safe to get high levels of magnesium from food. But excessive use of magnesium supplements can be toxic. The upper limit -- the highest dose a person can take -- of magnesium supplements is:
- 65 mg/day for children ages 1-3
- 110 mg/day for children ages 4-8
- 350 mg/day for adults and children ages 9 and up
It also says "Overdose. Signs of a magnesium overdose can include nausea, diarrhea, low blood pressure, muscle weakness, and fatigue. At very high doses, magnesium can be fatal."
Arthritis.org says this: http://www.arthritis.org/living-with-arthritis/treatments/natural/vitamins-minerals/guide/magnesium.php
How Much: Recommended dietary allowance (RDA) = 420 milligrams (mg) daily for men 31 and older; 320 mg for women. For best absorption, choose magnesium orotate, oxide or citrate.
Too Much: Tolerable upper limit (UL) = 350 mg.
DONT TAKE WITH METHOTREXATE
