Thank you. I don't eat dairy so that would figure, and suspect I have low magnesium. What sort of supplementation would you advise to increase this?

Brief Answer:

Take Uro Mag orally

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

The daily intake of magnesium ranges from 320 milligrams to 420 milligrams

A healthy diet can easily provide enough magnesium.

Whole grains, nuts, fish, meat, dark green vegetables, legumes and many fruits contain significant amounts of magnesium.

You can take Uro Mag orally as supplement to increase it with your doctors advise
