All right, good. You're welcome.

I believe there is a test for magnesium.

The thing is, magnesium is hard to get in the diet, unlike calcium. So it turns

out

most people (but not all) don't need to supplement with calcium, but most people

do need extra magnesium.

Magnesium is hard to find in the diet, and the demineralization of the soils has

made it even harder. Some people are taking a lot more, like 800mg and more,

and I would do so if it didn't instantly cause me intestinal distress. I was

actually

prescribed intravenous mag for the fibromyalgia, but have never been able to

swing it financially. Point being, it's hard to get enough mag. Please make

sure

you're adding as supplement 400mg mag daily.

Yes you test blood levels of Mg with the RBC Magnesium test.
