What people say about Magnesium and mood
“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.”
