Posted on Tue, 1 Oct 2019
Question: My neurologist, Dr. Shah, recommended I take magnesium daily after an EMG test that showed I had "slow neurons" which cause me aching and pins and needles in legs and feet. I forgot to ask him which is the best type of magnesium to get for my issue and the nervous system in general since I see there are several types of magnesium. Which would u recommend?

Magnesium forms appropriate for you mentioned below.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to "Ask a Doctor" service.

I have read your query and here is my advice.

There are many magnesium supplements that may be used for different reasons such as pain, constipation, muscles relaxation, improvement of nervous system function,etc.

Best forms of magnesium supplements to use in your case are those supplements containing magnesium threonate, magnesium malate and magnesium aspartate.

Magnesium aspartate for example is an OTC and you can take 320 mg/daily.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

Let me know if I can assist you further.
