I take it at night. Unfortunately I haven't found a controlled release version of magnesium that works. I sometimes also take it during the day when I feel my muscles getting stiff, I get relief within 15 minutes.

You could say that about electricity, water supply, healthcare, AI, etc. These should all be public services, not run by for-profit corporations. But we decided against that approach long ago.
