So I recently saw that taking magnesium helps to relive stress and anxiety, I'm wondering if annoying has experience with taking magnesium and if it actually works. Also it would be great to know what brand you've had success with

Thanks in advance

I occasionally take natural calm magnesium powder mixed with hot water before bed. I have read online from the reviews that it has really helped people. As for myself, I cannot say that I have noticed any large effect but then again, I have not been taking it for that long. I do know that magnesium deficiency is a bigger problem than most people think and can cause lots of different imbalances in the body

I think it does help especially with sleep if you take it before bed. It's worth ago.

Wanted you to know this venue has a very knowledgeable and vocal advocate of magnesium and I am certain he will be responding to you. :)

I take magnesium everyday along with other vitamins like fish oil, multi vitamin, and a calming vitamin that I take that has a bunch of things in it, lemon balm etc. It helps me a lot.

Is there a specific dose to take or does it depend on person to person?

I take magnesium citrate and calcium citrate.

There are a few types of mg, but I read that the citrate is the type needed to calm to nervous system. The calcium is needed because mg makes you calcium deficient over time.

I take 500 mg of magnesium, once I started taking them I also noticed that my heart palpitations went away/ diminished.
