What people say about Magnesium and energy
“I'm feeling pretty suspicious that it's the magnesium... I'm thinking the magnesium is only hurting me more than helping now.”
“A magnesium pill once a day at least makes me feel rested which is loads better than I was feeling.”
“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.”
