Though I'm prone to wishful thinking when it comes to vitamin supplements, the more I read about magnesium, the more I'm convinced of its value in being fit and healthy. Having a normal amount of magnesium in your body is tied to just about everything that one would consider important.- blood pressure
- bone health
- heart function
- balanced mood
- energy levels
- insulin
- metabolism
- muscle function
After I started bicycling around this time last year, I had a terrible bout of leg cramping during the night and first thing in the morning. Since I've been taking a magnesium supplement, this has not been a problem at all. Another thing I've noticed is that my recovery from pulling weeds and the other movements associated with yard work, is much better. I used to have such sore legs after doing what amounted to lots of squats. I'm wondering if the combination of doubling my Vit D (per Dr.) and taking magnesium will also lower my blood pressure which is on the border of being "a problem."
Here's a list of sources of info about magnesium so you can read for yourself about all its benefits:

My mom started taking a magnesium/calcium/Vitamin D combo supplement and she says she feels a lot better. Her nails are harder too.
I'm going to get some for myself.
I haven't been around here in ages. I hope you're well!
Funny you should mention Magnesium.
Another blogger just sent me a package full of magnesium to try. Just this week.
Great minds must all think alike, eh?
Hi, Lee! I've started taking magnesium with potassium aspartate and I feel better, too. Well, when I can remember to take it. New habits are hard to get into.
Nice to see you blogging. I've missed you.
Hi, Lee
I JUST posted over on Hanlie's blog about Mag!! Great minds indeed! I've been an LMT for 26 years, & have seen client after client respond to increasing their Mag levels (I 'suggest' they look into it!) Exactly as you mention - fewer sore/ cramping muscles, 'rock hard' shoulders relaxing, etc.
I take ~ 700 mg throughout the day, & also 'more' Vit D 3 . . . here's another good reference http://www.krispin.com/magnes.html
SO glad you brought this up! (I have also blogged about Mag over at 'the Vale')
My husband's neurologist recommended Magnesium + B2 daily to head off his migraines before they start and it's REALLY helped. Where he used to have a migraine at least once a week, now he goes weeks - even six weeks at once point - with not a migraine in sight. Truly, for such a small investment it's a tremendous payback!
