Anyone take Magnesium glycinate for anxiety or stress relief?
My brother and his ex wife swear by it
I ordered some from the pharmacy
I’ve taken Magnesium Citrate in the past when I was deficient but first time taking magnesium glycinate.
It’s supposed to be easier on the stomach
I’ll see if it helps ease down my high stress levels
But I’m not expecting too much
Magnesium made me feel weird the following day. It’s like anything you take really, some people will have success with it and others won’t!
How did it make you feel weird @everhopeful?
What do you mean?
It’s difficult to explain, it just made me feel mentally “off” the following day. Which was a pity as it did a good job of relaxing me.
Oh ok thanks 1555555
I love magnesium for anxiety and also constipation. So I use Citrate because that’s also good for your bowels.
I tried glycinate and it made me anxious which is the opposite effect it should have had.
I take 300mg a day, one morning and one before bed.
Thanks @Pamito 1555555555
Took my first doses yesterday and this morning and so far I feel nothing beneficial
I am going to raise the dose today and see if this helps
If anything it’s made me constipated
■■■■ I’ve become more irritable and a bit overstimulated
I looked it up and it says that Magnesium Glycinate can trigger mania in susceptible people prone to having mania ( bipolar)
It’s not common but still is possible
I took it for a few weeks, it really helped me go sorry if that is tmi
Yeah right now I’ve got the opposite problem
You probably took a different form of the magnesium like citrate
No @Wave it’s this one Magnesium Glycinate 3-in-1 Complex - 1800mg Magnesium Supplements as Magnesium Bisglycinate, Magnesium Citrate & Magnesium Malate - 90 Vegan Capsules, Triple High Absorption - 384mg Elemental, UK Made https://amzn.eu/d/3XdOtq8
On second thoughts it’s 3 in 1
You aren’t the only one @Pamito
It’s making me anxious too
A bit activating
It’s too activating for me
Going to give the rest of the magnesium to my brother.
Oh well, I tried
I’ve had Magnesium Taurate and currently magnesium gylcinate. I don’t take them often, but I have them in case I need to relax.
Try magnesium citrate maybe? Keeps me calm and also keeps me regular!
Glycinate no way for me, but citrate I’ve been on for like 18 months 300mg a day.
I take a supplement that contains 75mg of magnesium malate.
I’ve taken magnesium citrate before
It gave me awful diarrhea
Yeah it can do that apparently. But somehow I dont get it
