magnesium?

[Momwifedaughter]

Has anyone tried this? I have been doing some research in hopes of trying it to help relieve anxiety? I would love to hear your experiences good and bad.

[Richy626]

I'm also considering magnesium supplements for muscle spasms! Would be interested to hear answers on this also.

it can't hurt right? I am reading that magnesium glycinate is the best and easiest on your stomach

[Hidden]

I use CALM magnesium drink.

does it help? is there a link?

[Hidden in reply to Momwifedaughter]

Yes. Or google best magnesium for anxiety. I get it at Wegmans health food store or online. Check on Amazon if you have an account.

[Momwifedaughter in reply to Hidden]

Thanks. How much do you drink per day?

[Hidden in reply to Momwifedaughter]

You are supposed to take 1 tsp in a glass of wAter twice a day. But start slow because it can Cause diarrhea or loose stools

[Cat33]

Yes it definitely helps me I find it very calming and I sleep better too

[Momwifedaughter in reply to Cat33]

A pill or the drink? Which magnesium. What I am finding is magnesium glycinate ???

[Cat33 in reply to Momwifedaughter]

It's a pill -magnesium citrate

I think it makes me sleep much better I take it before bed but I can't say it has reduced my anxiety greatly however I have never stuck to it consistently.

[Momwifedaughter in reply to Aazz]

What exactly is it you take?

[Aazz in reply to Momwifedaughter]

I take a high dose magnesium capsule the brand is Wagner I'm in Australia but it contains 3 sources of magnesium -

Magnesium oxide

Magnesium phosphate

Magnesium chelate

[Curtis33]

Metagenics magnesium complex.

I take this for a headache disorder and it's generally given by a naturopath or a medical practitioner of some sort

It also contains other vitamins that help the body absorb as much as possible and being a powder it is absorbed much more effectively

I have fear of anxiety

Magnesium is great but while the oral supplements are good they can cause diarrhea. Magnesium citrate is the best to take orally but best of all is one that is absorbed through your skin. Magnesium chloride in a warm foot bath is awesome. Epsom salts in a bath is great too. There are some magnesium oils but they are only the mag chloride in water. I find they itch a bit when sprayed on my skin other than feet. Passionflower is a fanstastic calming supplement - i take a Blackmores Executive stress formula that has loads of B vitamins plus passionflower. B12 and B6 are integrally linked to anxiety reduction. Good luck.
