" Fibromyalgia is the second most common rheumatic complaint seen by physicians.

It's been found that patients with Fibromyalgia have below normal levels of magnesium. Chronic fatigue and fibro is linked to toxins from heavy metal buildup in the body. Magnesium is required to block the toxic effects of aluminum. You should be able to get Malic acid from vegetables and it's one of the most important of the acids found in apples. This is where diet can really aid in these health problems. Also try to use organic whenever possible in order to prevent further build up of toxins. When your body has sufficient levels of magnesium, there will be a decrease in pain and muscle spasms, usually within 48 hrs. 200 mg of malic acid with 500 mg of magnesium, up to six tablets twice daily is recommend.
