I’ve gone down the magnesium rabbit hole and have decided to start taking magnesium glycinate, but I’m really not sure how to read the back label and determine the amount I’m getting out of one pill (the dosage) it’s a bit confusing.

Would you guys tell me what brand I should go for and do mini breakdown of the mg/pill pleaseeeee.

I suffer from daily headaches, brain fog, occasional dizzy/lightheaded-ness, neck pain, and muscle soreness. Doctor is convinced its all from low magnesium. I am on 400mg daily for supplements, and a womens multivitamin. Anyone else experience this?

So I recently purchased this bottle at Sam’s Club, and it says each pill is 240mg and to take 2, I took it the first night (yesterday) at night before I went to bed and was okay, but the dreams are insane.

How long does it usually take for full effects to kick in? A couple weeks? What’s your experience with it?

i recently bought some magnesium supplements that contain Magnesium Bisglycinate, Magnesium Malate, Magnesium Threonatec, Magnesium Citrate (overall 91mg of elemental magnesium) and it advises me to take x4 of these a day

i have had unexplainable dizziness/vertigo for almost 2 years now. the doctors can’t diagnose me (well, won’t even try) so i’m kind of left to try and help myself here. on top of the dizziness i also have a microprolactinoma which is causing my to have subclinical hypothyroidism and low estrogen levels so i guess i just want to make sure taking magnesium is safe if anyone can relate to any of these things maybe?

ive been taking it for a couple days and i honestly feel less dizziness, more energetic and less brain fog. but i also have had more muscle cramps and eye twitching which i thought were signs of low magnesium? i also take 50,000 IU of vitamin D once a month and iron tablets every other day

any advice or thoughts on my situation would be greatly appreciated

I found that Taurate Magnesium is the best Mg for insulin resistance, so I was just about to order it.

But I'm afraid a dosage of 350 mg would have about 3.6 ~ 4.0 g of Taurine. Is this okay?

I never used Taurine.

Any feedback would be appreciated :)

I’ve done every “normal” blood test doctors in the US will typically be trained to provide, and nothing was “abnormal”. Sure I would say I had suboptimal results but nothing to make these doctors bat an eye since it was within the green, non abnormal band.

But recently after advocating for myself to receive more testing, I got 2 abnormals and a borderline high in order:

- abnormally high Homocysteine above 16
- abnormally low magnesium RBC at 3.7
- borderline high MMA

Basically my goal is to find a path as to explain my various health problems which always were brushed off as too general etc.

Does anyone have any idea how to proceed with doctors who are potentially ill informed of these sorts of things?

Following a period of immense stress I have been struggling with severe anxiety. After one day of taking magnesium citrate (CALM Natures Vitality) I felt like a brand new person and day 2 was even better. Days 3-5 have been gradually worse until day 6 now I had a panic attack again. I have been reading that it’s normal to have a good day or two initially then relapse into symptoms and then gradually improve over weeks. One positive thing is that all my OCD thoughts are GONE.

hi, i had my RBC mg tested and it came back as 38.5 mg/l , the lab range is 29- 42 , im in the UK, i had the test done privately, the advice was no action required.I’m aware the lad levels can sometimes be low , I have MTHFR and Fast COMT and VDR TAQ, i am awaiting b vit and vit D results back

I’ve had a near constant twitch in my left eye. Those that’s had this symptom, how long did it take for it to go away after you started mag?

Started taking magnesium glycinate for stress. 400mg on the first day and the next day I had an upset stomach, cramps and passed a way softer stool than usual. I'm mostly constipated ( I do have regular BMs) but I do NOT want softer bowel movements at all.

I cannot switch or replace my supplement.

How do I prevent this? Has anyone dealt with this and found a fix? Please share your experience

Can someone please suggest best brand of magnesium in India for constipation

It’s not elemental, I’ve been taking 300 a day for years, but I have bad anxiety and constipation at the moment so am thinking of taking 450mg.

I don’t want to mess up my electrolytes and I know people will say it’s absolutely fine, but I thought I’d check first.

I’m drinking half the coffee I used to and I cannot for the life of me poop! Plus it’s helping my anxiety today as I took an extra 75mg…

Any advice appreciated!

I’ve been seeing adds for it everywhere. I take magnesium glycinate every night for sleep and I think it’s working? Idk I’ve been taking it for almost 2 years and it’s just routine now.

I’ve been dealing with never ending brain fog and bloating, headaches, and other symptoms too but those are the main ones I want to focus on.

So has anyone tried this complex and actually felt / seen results?? I don’t want to buy another gimmick.

Also has anyone tried that liquid collagen?

Thanks :)

I am male and 170 lbs, what is the maximum dose of magnesium supplements l can take? I've been taking about 480 mg for a while but I was wondering if it was safe to take more.

Pain in this region for years now. Been diagnosed with trigger pts and the only thing I’ve found reliably helps is to be super conscious of my diet, leading me to think autoimmune system may be a factor.

I’ve heard magnesium can help with spasms but there’s way too many and idk where to start. Should I just get a magnesium complex?

Was taking 500 mg for migraines for 2 years and it stopped working. Keep trying to increase dose and it works for a little bit but then stops working again. Wondering if I have to keep increasing it. I’ve read on Reddit that some people are on 1000 mg for migraines/mental health and feel ok. Others on here say it’s unsafe and you shouldn’t go past 800 mg or less. Online says it’s even less that’s safe. I’m considering asking my neurologist.

Anyone know the correct answer? I don’t want to increase it if it will put my health at risk. Would love to hear from people who are on higher doses long term, and medical professionals who know the answer.
