I've been taking magnesium glycinate for anxiety and it has helped TREMENDOUSLY! I was waking up in the middle of the night with my heart racing and palpitations. Within 2 weeks of taking 400 mg per day, the heart racing and palpitations stopped. I now sleep easily through the night. Magnesium is relaxing for your nerves, so it may also help depression in a round-about way. The best supplement I know of for depression is DHA (fish oil). I suggest trying DHA along with magnesium.

I haven't use the pharmaceutical and I am not very sure if this had an actual effect on me. I ended up taking vitamin complex B every morning, omega 3, and vitamin C. Besides meditation.

You've probably seen my prior post, but it didn't work for me at all. My MD is completely against any prescribed hormones, thus, I suffer every single night. Little bit during the day. Hugs.

What I've learned in life is that when taking supplements you do need more magnesium than calcium, as far as the ratio goes. This "raw one" didn't contain mag., that's why I changed to something else. Hope this helps

Don't know if magnesium will help with facial spasms. If after a few weeks, there are no results, may be medical injection would help to paralyse your facial muscles.

I don't work for Trusted Nutrients...but I think they both have calcium and potassium in them. I don't think it makes any difference in how it works. It is working for me. Besides you need both of those supplements in your daily diet.

Unknown, but also unstudied is the idea that negative ions help with depression. Google it. That worked for me in about three days. Maybe then you can sleep better?

There is a bottle of Garcinia extract, with potassium and magnesium. I did not even have to use that. I felt good and had energy without it. I am careful to check for stimulants also. This fast worked for me.

This is the only brand of magnesium that is absorbed differently by the body........other Magnesium causes loose bowels, the runs, stomach upsets etc.

magnesium - no iron. the structure is much like blood, but with magnesium as the central atom instead of the iron that is at the center of a blood atom

I would say it helps some but also less pain and better all around health. Try 5htp and coq10 for improved energy.

Hello: Not everything works for all people the same. It didn't seem to work for me but that could be due to other factors. I wasn't looking for a quick fix to my weight problem but I was looking for a quick start and didn't get it. There are warnings popping up about the main ingredient and I would advise researching that before spending any money. Sorry, Dick Urban

I called them up and the actual amount of Magnesium per dose is 100mg which is 25% of one's daily needs but you may be getting magnesium from other sources and one's needs can be variable. The bigger point is that this product is far more absorb-able that non ionic forms so per dose you are getting much more. I take the 2.5 ml per day and I am getting good results both mentally and physically.

Am not sure about x-peak, but if you are referring to what brought about the ems crisis, according to what I read it wasn't just tryptophan contaminants as much as tryptophan itself which even when pure produces harmful metabolites, and also raises systematic histamin levels to a very bad level , so much that it can initiate ems syndrome. .. 5htp is a step up from tryptophan, and add far as i know, I don't think it has that effect. .. That being said however, take caution with 5htp since it has thepotential to cause heart valve fibrosis when at high levels. . Other than that I can only day that 5htp was a key supplement when taken for a month at repeated low daily doses in completely taking out my depression. .. But if you wish to use it for that pls do your own research on what to take it with and what not to take it with, for how long, and at what times. . And according to how it unfolds to you.. Just some notes to help: Sometimes you may need to incorporate tyrosin with 5htp therapy. . Depression can be caused from more than one thing ( physical or mental stress, diet, too much junk food, cellular stress, b deficiency, zinc, selenium, magnesium, lack of omega 3s, drug use.. And so on.. The point is that if you are trying to treat a low mood problem, which I don't know if you are, the key is first good diet with protiens and good complex carbs, excercise and move on to the rest, you know what your doing right or wrong best. Off topic but I found mr. Happy stacks (uridine, omega 3, and choline to be a good stabilizers).. Again what works for one might not work for the other, but I just thought it would be helpful to throw around my thoughts. . But I recommend you look into uridine if you have a low motivation problem, since it upregulates dopamine receptors. . Sorry if this is long and boring, and not what you were looking for. Good luck and stay healthy!

Magnesium has a calming effect on muscles. We absorb it more through our skin more effectively than when taking it by pill form. I started it because I had restless legs and it enhances sleep. So your answer is Yes. but leg cramps can also be a sign low potassium. Halli RN

Not in my experience. SP magnesium does what I expect it to do as well as having cured me of restless foot syndrome. Just remember that natural supplements take weeks if not months to do their work. That's fine with me because I have yet to get any undesired side effects.

Calcium helps the muscles contract and Magnesium helps them relax. I have heard people say that the mixture does help treat leg cramps. I don't use it for cramps, just general muscle and bone health.
