Magneium appears to be one of those minerals which most people in western societies are lacking. If you have restless foot (or leg) syndrome, this will probably cure it. Also, magnesium will increase bone strength and/or make bones resistant to breaks. This is a must use for me and my guess is that many other people will benefit from using this.
