Reduced my pain and stiffness!
I have severe myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) and fibromyalgia, & the constant pain that is associated with them. I tried magnesium malate because malic acid and magnesium were mentioned as possibly being helpful in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: A Treatment Guide (Quality Medical Home Health Library). I didn't think it would be too helpful, but decided to give it a chance. On the day I received it, I had my usual pain and stiffness that I've had now for the last 15-20 years. I mistakenly took a large dose (three pills), and went about my business. About 20 minutes later I was coming down the stairs and realized I was not limping and wasn't in pain!!! I had forgotten what lack of pain felt like, and the sensation of no pain was amazing. I'm currently taking a total of 6 pills a day (two pills, three times daily), and have much less pain than I used to. It has resolved my chronic constipation also. If you have suffer from ME/CFS or fibromyalgia, this product might help you too. Good Luck.
Update: There has been a reduction in my hair-fall since I started taking this supplement (about 3 weeks) to about 1/3 of what it used to be. I can also do things I couldn't before I started on the supplement, like lifting up my 5-year old nephew and rearranging furniture.
Update #2: After about 2-3 years of taking this supplement, I am mostly pain-free unless I push myself too hard. Sometimes I can even go down to 3 pills a day (as recommended by the manufacturer). I don't attribute the improvement in health solely to the magnesium malate since I take many other supplements for my symptoms. However, the magnesium malate definitely played a major role in my getting better and has allowed me to reduce many of the other supplements I used to take.
