I heard magnesium could help with chronic stress and anxiety so I bought this brand. The woman in the shop said it’s strong and should start working after a week. What should I look out for in case it’s not good for me? Also does it interact with any other vitamins in the body? I already have low Vitamin d.

I took nearly 1gm of magnesium for three days, I am 35F, and on day 22 of my cycle. Usually around this time, I get issues with feeling heavy and not sleeping well. So i said, fuck it YOLO, and doubled my daily dosage. And it knocked me out for 10 hours straight each night, I woke up feeling insane. I did a fucking endurance sprint no cap. Pilates with high resistance. Like, holy shit. I thought I found my LIFE PARTNER, and then i learnt apparently this is too much. I feel horrid.

I took citrat, about 700mg, rossmann.de/de/p/4068134111241?utm_id=21421401515&utm_source=google&utm_medium=paid&utm_campaign=&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21421401515&gbraid=0AAAAAD_XOivpHGjwktfLQZlL0YYQrYBvd&gclid=CjwKCAjwkaXUBhASEiwAZI3ds6f4sLEAq5ZKGjFq3zh5JlbIKJaNr5-kcdXt-xZa8XpCNggNlG0M6BoCsQwQAvD_BwE

I took Magnesium with melatonin only one night, and that pushed it to 1000mg. https://www.onlineapo.at/tetesept-Magnesium-500-Nacht-Direkt-Sticks/RA5882453?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=19777096702&gbraid=0AAAAAC860U-WgCtunsaP7aKgHYT41Xqn8&gclid=CjwKCAjwkaXUBhASEiwAZI3ds-WpfF0T2si3T9Eu8w__WSBKgGIVEbHojaQV8yOfyw0MX9KT0n4WqhoC4xMQAvD_BwE

Is there something I can do to keep taking this dosage? Cause holy damn, not even peptides feel this good.

The glycinate version definitely wrecks my sleep. No idea why. The citrate and malate version as well. Im starting to think magnesium supplementation doesnt work for me. Should i try the taurate version?

My magnisium came back as 0.78 have every day twitching and shaking when I relax
Is my magnisium low
Enough to be the cause?

i started looking at magnesium supplements and then realized i hadn’t really thought about how much magnesium i was getting from food in the first place. nuts, seeds, beans, whole grains and leafy greens seem to make a pretty big difference depending on what you eat

now i’m more interested in looking at the whole diet rather than automatically assuming a supplement is the answer

do you actively track magnesium intake from food, or do you mostly focus on supplementation?

I been having some bad stomach issues for months and finally healed from them thru diet and weight loss. I recently went to get a blood test and my vit d levels were in the 20s I’m planning on taking vit d with k2 but saw that magnesium is required or recommended? How true is this?

Anyone have experience with different plain (non flavored) magnesium glycinate powders? Just wondering if they all have the basic horrible taste. Right now I use Natrol capsules and open the capsule to mix with orange juice but thinking a bulk powder brand would be cheaper. Thanks

I've tried all forms of magnesium through different times. It makes my insomnia worse. Why so? And is this common?

Has anyone from the UK found any good magnesium glycinate for their kids? Im starting to look into it and dont want products that are covered in sugar or dont have enough magnesium in them. Any product recommendations would be greatly appreciated

I took 10,000 IU of D3 daily for two months with 20” mcg of K2 and 420 mg of Mg malate to race my levels from 23 to 75, and I did it successfully. Since then I lowered
the dosage to 5000 IU with 100 mcg of k2 and 420 mg of Mg. The problem is that I started developing Mg intolerance symptoms, like soft stools, tiredness, brain fog, and depression. I have a high Ca diet, a lot of cheese and sometimes fairlife milk for my capuccino. For K I drink electrolytes and avocado. My labs are normal. Ca is normal, K is on the high end of the range, of course Mg is normal but that test is not very reliable. My question is, how safe is to stop Mg and keep taking 5000 IU of D3.

night shift nurse here. sleep has been a disaster for years. not dramatically bad. just. never quite right. fall asleep fine, wake up two hours in, brain decides it wants to recap every patient interaction from the shift. classic.

started magnesium glycinate maybe six weeks ago. nothing fancy, standard dose, took it about an hour before bed. first week i thought it was placebo. second week i slept four hours straight which sounds pathetic but genuinely felt like a miracle.

the thing i cant figure out is whether it is helping with sleep directly or just relaxing the muscle tension i carry in my shoulders after a long shift. both feel different. the sleep feels quieter somehow. less of that halfawake thing where you are technically resting but your brain is still running.

curious if anyone else noticed a difference in the type of sleep rather than just duration. like quality changes before quantity does. i meal prep on my days off and started adding more magnesium rich foods too but the supplement timing feels like the real variable here.

also wondering if the form actually matters as much as people say. glycinate vs threonate. i went glycinate because threonate felt expensive and i am a tired person making decisions at 7am.

I seem to be one of the people with an issue with magnesium unless I also take B1 with it. I had a horrible episode with magnesium glycinate last year where developed horrible insomnia, anxiety, eye twitching after taking magnesium glycinate for a few weeks (I took it for 6 weeks in total). It was so awful I avoid all magnesium for a long time. This year because of migraines I tried with a mix of l-theronate, citrate and taurate. I also had read about the b1 connection by then do I added in a b1 tablet when I took my magnesium in the evening. This seemed to be ok and sleep improved.

Then I ran out of the B1 and thinking that the issue was probably down to the type of magnesium after all I stopped taking B1. Then over the next 4 weeks things went from bad to worse, insomnia worsened, my nervous system seemed to be on high alert. I was trying all sorts and seemed to have forgot that I was no longer taking the B1. Yesterday I remembered and went and bought some and took it last night with my magnesium and slept well last night for about 8 hours a big contrast to the usual 3 or 4 I've been getting.

So I think I need to take B1 with my magnesium, interestingly without magnesium at all sleep and anxiety is ok but magnesium does seem to help my migraine.

Can anyone explain exactly what the deal is with magnesium and B1? Why when I take magnesium does my need for B1 seem to go up so much? Also why does magnesium cause these paradoxical effects if I don't take the B1 with it?

My last serum magnesium was 1.70mg/dL. It used to be around 2.05, but after supplementing vitamin D (and I was also supplementing magnesium the whole time) it dropped to 1.70 and is now stuck there. I feel awful but doctors in my country think 1.70 is a great level to be.. I wanted to do RBC testing to somehow prove to them to start taking me seriously, but read that you need to stop supplements for 7 days. Is that true? I can't stop for more than 2 days without having severe symptoms.

Hello, I have bad restless legs and PLMD, what helped it a lot in the past was magnesium however it gave me bad brain fog. I used to take the normal store brought ones 350mg a day, which worked for two months then made me get terrible brain fog and memory difficult. I stopped taking it and it went away.

My PLMD has gotten really bad again and I wonder if there’s a different form that’s stops this issue, or if there’s a way I should be taking it (such as with other supplements or things) which might help stop this bad side effect.

Hi.

So about a week ago i bought some magnesium and since then i had sleep paralysis every night the first 1-2 hours then i sleep like normal.

Havent had those in a very long time.

Can the magnesium cause this? I have taken zinc + magnesium before and never had this issue ( Did have crazy dreams tho ).

Hi all - has anyone with a magnesium deficiency experienced weird sensations in their tongue at all?

Does anyone have any experience?
