What people say about Magnesium Citrate and focus
“When taking 200mg per day of Citrate, I feel like I have a better mood, more energy, less social anxiety, and lower ADHD medication tolerance (Ritalin).”
“Brain fog is gone (more talkative, thinking more clearly, I wake up and don't feel as much pressure to go back to sleep as before)”
“I've been taking magnesium citrate for some time now for sleep and my sleep is restful now, no increase in dreams. My husband has vivid dreams normally, dx'd with ADHD, and magnesium citrate results in restful sleep for him, no increase in dreaming.”
