If you get cravings for chocolate every month, you need a magnesium supplement.

My company gives these out EVERY YEAR for the holidays.

That suffices for my yearly chocolate "fix".

Gee, and I thought this thread was going to be successful.

I'll def look up magnesium supplements, Genesia...although I take a multi-vitamin as it is.

Cool that you mentioned Purdy's! NOTHING beats their hedgehogs.

Multis don't have enough. And most people are deficient (because most of our food is grown in magnesium-deficient soil nowadays), so don't feel bad. If you're also constipated, that's a dead giveaway.

400 mg of magnesium/day is a good amount to take. Take it at night - it's a calming mineral.

Hmm..I'll definitely check that out. Thanks for the tip!

Purdy's hedgehogs...

You're right, nothing beats those! And the other chocolates you posted look yummy!

I absolutely love chocolate cake!

I recently had a dark chocolate shake made with Ghirardelli chocolate.

Let me ask. Are you saying in order to get an sufficient amount of minerals, it should be taken seperately, instead of an multi?

If you show signs of a deficiency - yes. Chocolate cravings and constipation are symptoms of magnesium deficiency. Very few multivitamins have more than 100 mg of magnesium - not enough to deal with a deficiency.

This is not just true of magnesium, either. I had a serious vitamin D deficiency while taking a multi and cod liver oil. In the winter, I take 5000 IU of vitamin D per day - far more than is found in a multivitamin.

I had that desssert!

My chocolate cravings have slowed down in my old age. But whenever I do crave chocolate, I like to drink it.
