I've read that magnesium is good for anxiety. I already take high dose vit D, b complex, iron & omega 3.
I've read up that magnesium glycinate is the best, but when i look it up in Boots or Holland & Barrett etc, its mostly magnesium oxide (which seems useless for anxiety & can have a laxative effect which will not be good for me as i already suffer with bowel problems with my cf).
Does anyone take magnesium glycinate for anxiety & where do you get it please?
Also, does it actually work?
Thank you.

Yes I took the glycinate one,it was fab,slept better and my low mood went,stopped them for now as I started getting an upset stomach BUT I'm not saying it was the magnesium,just ruling things out at the minute,the glycinate is supposed to be kinder on the stomach, I got mine through Amazon

[Sheri]

I'm glad it worked for you. I heard it can have an effect on the stomach but hear glycinate is kinda than the cheap oxide one.
I'll try amazon, thanks.

Forgot to ask what strength did you take?

[jaypo]

 It was 300mg I think,I'm sure they were called "smarter" I only ever took one a day but they say to build it up to 3 daily but I found the one helped x

Yes found them great for sleep and nighttime anxiety.

[jaypo]

Hope they work for you 🤞🤞

[LornaT]

Just ordered some from Amazon arrive today, so let’s hope they help! 🙏🤞

[jaypo]

Please let me know if they work for you 

[jaypo]

Have they helped any Lorna?

[LornaT]

Hi Jaypo, I’m really not sure if they are helping, though it’s early days I should think it takes time, maybe a little bit of help, will keep you posted 🙏 x

[jaypo]

Please do Lorna,yep,maybe it works differently on different people,so give it a few weeks BUT if you get stomach cramps etc,stop taking them xx

[LornaT]

Thanks Jaypo, I didn’t know they can cause stomach cramps, I’veconly been taking one capsule at night so far though it says can take two, such a journey this peri isn’t it? X

[Marchlove]

It’s unusual for glycinate to cause stomach cramps. If you’re getting on ok with it you should up the dose to two.
I take three with no issues, all at night.
Hope they help xx

[jaypo]

Yes,it IS supposed to be kinder on the stomach.......just not mine....typical!!!
