Frequently asked questions
In our experience, many people get significant results from our product. Some people have become totally free of leg cramps. Others have seen a significant decrease in the pain and/or frequency of their symptoms. This could mean that the pain is cut in half, or they only get cramps once a week instead of muscle cramps every night. Everyone is different. However, some people do not see results, even after increasing their dose and taking it for more than a month. This usually means that magnesium deficiency is not causing their problems. This is why we offer the Money Back Guarantee -- to give you plenty of time to see if it works for you .
Although everyone responds differently, many people see results with their first dose. But we recommend trying it for 2 weeks to give it a full chance of working.

The blood test that you received is called a SERUM test, which is part of any normal blood chemistry panel. Unfortunately, this blood test does not accurately portray your body's supplies of magnesium. Here's why: in order for your heart to beat, your body has to maintain a steady amount of magnesium in your blood at all times. It does this by pulling magnesium from your bones and tissues as needed -- including your muscles. So, you can have a perfectly normal serum test and still be low in magnesium in your muscles -- causing your cramps.

Many doctors know that magnesium is important, but they don't realize how important. Even then, they rarely know which magnesium forms actually work. Many doctors believe that magnesium is just another medication which decreases muscle cramps. In reality, lack of magnesium is the hidden reason WHY most people get muscle cramps.

Take the smallest dose that works for you. It absorbs best when you take it with food. Experiment to see what dose works best for you. Below is the size of the capsule compared to a dime. You can also open up the capsules and mix the powder with a food like applesauce or yogurt -- the powder has no flavor.

There are a variety of forms and each has pros and cons:
- Magnesium oxide and hydroxide: Supplement companies love this stuff because it is cheap to produce. Unfortunately it is very poorly absorbed (only 8%), and is highly laxative. But nonetheless, it is what you find in most common multi-vitamins. It also happens to be the active ingredient in Milk of Magnesia.
- Magnesium citrate: It is well absorbed, but is also highly laxative. It is the main ingredient in those glass bottles of laxative at the drug store. If you have ever had a colonoscopy, this is what they gave you to "clean you out".
- Magnesium sulfate: Also known as Epsom Salt. It is also very laxative -- that's partly what they sell it for. But it is great for soaking!
- Magnesium glycinate: This is magnesium bound to the amino acid glycine. This form is not ideal because it tends to be expensive and only found in large, difficult to swallow tablets.
- Magnesium chelate or glutamate:This product is low quality, because it has large amounts of "unbound magnesium" in the form of oxides. This poor form of magnesium causes laxative effects.
- Magnesium chloride: This turns to liquid when exposed to air, making it difficult to deliver via capsule. It is not naturally found in food.
- Magnesium taurinate: This is magnesium bound to the amino acid Taurine. It has the side effect of causing extreme drowsiness, which makes it difficult to take during the day. It is also very expensive.
- Cramp Defense®: High absorbing, non laxative, no weird side effects. It's an organic form found in fruits and vegetables, not some crushed up rock.

70mg of magnesium is all that is possible for a small capsule.
Let us explain. There is 583mg of magnesium malate in a capsule. 12% of that is elemental magnesium (70mg), the rest is malate (513mg).
There are no magnesium supplements that are 100% magnesium, since pure magnesium does not exist in nature -- it is always bound to another molecule.
