What got worse for some people
In their own words
“magnesium (threonate/glycinate) is part of my daily stack... it makes me worry/ruminate badly and cause anxiety/depressive symptoms.”
“After about a week of using this supplement daily I have noticed my anxieties have lessened 70-90% in most instances.”
“I got the benefit of reduced anxiety and improved sleep (due to feeling more relaxed). Coming closer to 1 month, I'm starting to feel dissociated and emotionless, characterized by flattening in mood and lack of facial expression.”
“I’m met with a calm clearheaded enhanced focus akin to L-Theanine which is pretty enjoyable.”
“magnesium l-Threonat which works on me very good(perfect sleep, mind clarity with calmness…) but if I stop it after 2-3 months of usage it would cause bad insomnia and it takes around couple months to overcome it.”
“I'm taking Mag Threonate but i feel it's way too expensive and does nothing.”
