Re: Restless legs

 I have similar symtoms to what diana mentioned. Didn't have it for years and just came back last year. Magnesium doesn't work for me.

Again restless leg syndrome is not a particular condition. It is a syndrome, which is merely a group of symptoms.  Therefore there can be various causes.  Overuse of stimulants like caffeine or high serum calcium can lead to these symptoms as well.  But magnesium deficiencies are a common cause as magnesium is a muscle relaxant.

The hylands formula helps. I find that taking calcium helps me a lot too. I remembered that I took coral calcium years ago and that seemed to clear it up.

Coral calcium is not all the same.  Depending on if it is harvested above or below water it will have different chemical compositions.  Taken from above water it has a much higher magnesium to calcium content.  Although coral is a garbage source of calcium since it is composed of calcium carbonate:

Some manufacturers are very aware of the problem with trying to get minerals from coral though so they add acids such as ascorbic acid or citric acid to the coral to help counter the problem.

This time I have citrate and cabonate.

Citrate is absorbed well, but not carbonate.  And carbonates will interfere with the absorption of various vitamins and minerals since they neutralize stomach acid.  Same applies to magnesium oxide, which is the most common magnesium used in supplements since it is the least expensive magnesium source:

I had a magnesium (cell?) test years ago and my magnesium levels were fine, but never had my calcium checked so maybe my calcium levels are low.

Actually calcium is a muscle contractor, which is why magnesium, a muscle relaxant, often helps.  The magnesium displaces calcium.

My d levels are low too, not sure if that factors into restless legs.

Yes, it can.  Low vitamin D is a common cause of hyperparathyroidism, which leads to elevated serum calcium levels.
