vivid dreams after taking magnesium l-threonate for a few weeks

I usually don't remember that I dreamt something but after taking magnesium l-threonate for a few weeks I started having vivid dreams. Is this normal? Does it happen to you too?

My mom seems to have them. She is troubled by it. I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing. Maybe I should give her the magnesium theoronate during the day and then introduce mag glycinate at the evening (net new)

acetyl l carnitine gives you vivid dreams if you take it at bedtime. Maybe you just have to take magnesium l-threonate earlier in the day.

Actually I took some last night and had very vivid dreams. And the issue here is that you are waking up remembering them, which is not ideal.

[Ashti in reply to alexask]

Can you explain why it is not ideal to wake up remembering them?

Whether or not magnesium l threonate crosses the BBB has been disputed. If it causes vivid dreams then I think that is evidence that it does. Hopefully someone with more knowledge than myself can elaborate upon this.

I increased from 2 pills to 3 and I had vivid dreams which I recalled. Reducing back to my 2 pills.

Hi,I actually first read about this phenomenon in the Amazon reviews of magnesium oil!

Then I bought it and used it to help with my sleep troubles. And I also got dreams, after decades without dreams. So no rem sleep issues for me.

It passed after a while.

Later I started with mg threonate, but it didn’t come back.

I wouldn’t be concerned.

I have started taking this:

Vitalitown Magnesium Complex, Magnesium Glycinate, Malate, Taurate & Citrate

I take it in the morning, but I noticed some vivid dreams lately too. Mostly stressful ones. I also noticed that Amazon no longer carries this product.
