I was sceptical about magnesium but after reading about the magnesium sprays from ladies on MM I did buy a Magnesium spray that has added essential oils e.g. Bergamot, grape seed etc. I have found I sleep better when I rub a couple of squirts on my shoulders before bed.
My brother-in-law, who is a consultant gastroenterologist, is doing research and a full controlled trial on magnesium sprays as these are used so much by professional sports people and their physios, - they want to look at the benefits.
Apparently the benefits for relaxing muscles is very good and using magnesium transdermally is good because it can upset the stomach when used orally. This relaxing element probably aids sleep.
A good diet is always the best way to get your vitamins but a vitamin complex can be a good idea - I like to take Feroglobin capsules, Krill oil and Red Clover when I'm not on HRT and in winter I always take Vitamin D3.
I would try the Magnesium Spray - I got mine from Holland and Barret but you can probably get it online. DG x
