“I saw a research on how to fight high level of cortisol by combining magnesium and potassium before bed...After that I started to sleep 4 hours then 5 then 6. Now I'm at 6-7 hours.”
“after supplementing with 400mg of Magnesium daily. Winter blues hit me hard and my multivitamin wasn't doing any justice, but once I began supplementing Magnesium, everything changed.”
“I'm taking 400mg Solgar Chelated Magnesium in the morning. It makes me feel calm and lucid, but utterly unmotivated to do anything. I've lost all sense of urgency.”
Conclusion: Existing evidence is suggestive of a beneficial effect of Mg on subjective anxiety in anxiety vulnerable samples. However, the quality of the existing evidence is poor. Well-designed randomised controlled trials are required to further confirm the efficacy of Mg supplementation.
