Magnesium for me. I don’t know why but it makes my brain work better. I feel horribly anxious, depressed, and intolerant of others when I forget to take it for more than three days or so.
I’m going to try this before I head for the cliff. :p
It changed my life, seriously. I mentioned it to my doctor with one of her residents present. The resident had recently finished a psych rotation and said that she learned that most people are deficient.
I've been rocking some magnesium citrate supplements for a couple of years now. It does seem to help. What do you take specifically?
NOW brand Magnesium Citrate, 200mg. From experience, NOW is one of those few brands you can trust.
Oh wow, pretty much the same for me. I'm doing the 400mg though.
I previously tried the Solgar brand, which is good too, but more expensive. I really like NOW for the majority of my supplements.
The doctor's best chelated magnesium works even better for me than citrate did, although citrate is easier to find in person if you're opposed to ordering it from Amazon.
I'll look into it, thank you!
If anyone else wants to try it.
I tried these Magnesium drink tablets while I was in Europe. Could feel how much it helped. Can't find anything similar in the States :\
If you're looking for magnesium most nuts are very good sources of it.
Almonds, cashews, peanuts! All very tasty too.
My wife started giving me her electrolyte mix and feeding me sardines everyday and I can't tell you how much better I feel
It has magnesium in it, but I think it's the particular form of potassium in it that's hitting my deficiency. It tastes like potatoes and it's.... I guess it's not bad. Like drinking starch water.
Shout-out to my wife who i'd probably whither away and die without.
I imagine you as a seal, happily awaiting his yummy sardine treat
Same for me, taking magnesium basically treated my anxiety and insomnia.
Fun site I just showed my partner. He's been having ADHD flair up, insomnia, twitching and loss of appetite. For me, it helps regulate stress and anxiety. Low magnesium levels are so common. The world could be a better place if our bodies actually received/processed what we need to thrive.
how you could be depleting body's magnesium
