magnesium help

canadiangirl · 01-01-2007, 06:14 PM

I have read so many times on here about magnesium...i have never tried it and i have a feeling it would really help me...i read the post on its miracles and i am thinking of trying the citrate one...i am going to sound silly but i am always afraid to try something new cause i am afraid i will have some reaction to it...i dont have any allergies to anything but being a big worry wart i just need reassurance..with w\d right now i am sapped of energy, tired, lightheaded, balance is off, moody...i just want to hear if anyone had any big problems and how much i should start at...Tammy

if you're worried about starting it, start with 50mg and work up... it'll take a few weeks for your body to build on it so you may not notice anything right away. You can take as much as 8 or 900mg. I never took more than that but once i got the better citrate kind i never went above 600mg.. now i'm doing fine on just 400mg. You'll know if you're taking too much.

either that or the glycinate if you can get it, which i've heard is the best kind..

I'm a convert to Magnesium...its helped me tremendously...I take the citrate kind as glycinate is really difficult to find here...but I take anywhere between 200 to 600 mgs and not every day either....mostly every other day now. I don't need it as much as I used to.

i am going to try it..i am so off balance and nervous feeling...its gotta help...

Scott · 01-01-2007, 09:15 PM

don't cut down anymore until you feel better

I bought the solgar citrate and it has been helping me tremendously. I had two days without taking it and was so high strung, tense and just in a really bad mood.

It has been helping alot and i take one 200 tab at night be4 bed.
