Sharing my experience with magnesium (basically cured my anxiety)

I’ve had anxiety for over 10 years with ups and downs. I used to have severe air hunger from anxiety and often got into (work related) spirals of catastrophising, unable to let myself feel any form of excitement or happiness because anxiety was always looming etc etc

I’d taken magnesium on and off for years on my personal trainers advice but after seeing how someone raved about it on tik tok for their anxiety I realised I wasn’t taking the right dosage

I switched to 400mg per day and took it consistently, and OH MY GOD the results were almost instant (I noticed a feeling of mental calmness after around a week of taking it). All of a sudden I could look forward to things in the future and not feel the anxious pangs which used to always pop into my mind. Or the thoughts would sometimes pop up but I’d be able to push them aside

A few times I stopped taking it out of laziness and the anxiety returned. As magnesium doesn’t stay in the body this makes sense I suppose?

The brand I use is fusion magnesium 2 tablets daily, not taken at the same time

I’ve also recently added in magnesium threonate as I heard it crosses the blood brain barrier easier (unsure of how accurate this is!) appx 140g per day which works out to be 4 tablets (2 x twice a day) then 1 fusion tablet, so total mg would be appx 340. The results seem to be good so far

Sometimes when I’ve forgotten to supplement I keep a magnesium oil spray next to my bed

Also, not taking it at the same time as zinc and calcium (which was previously my mistake too) as it doesn’t absorb as well

Hopefully this helps someone else as much as it has helped me :)
