“Magnesium (complex) 400mg: It has a minimal effect on my moods - maybe slightly calming. I sometimes take it to chill me out before bed to aid my sleep. It has the side effect of making me poop more.”
“Consider adding a magnesium supplement (complex) to this.”
“I've recently started taking a magnesium complex, L-threaonate, glycinate and taurate... I feel so much calmer and more patient all day”
