Magnesium Citrate and its benefits

Lots of stuff online about this but as it can help so many people I wanted to put it on the forum.

If you have insomnia, stress, anxiety, poor memory, are worried about Alzheimer’s, have bipolar, epilepsy or possibly many other problems I would totally reccomend trying this! My best mate who has insomnia is sleeping like a log and its done me wonders too!

Magnesium, Sleep, and Mental Health. Magnesium is well known for its ability to relieve insomnia. One study found that it helps decrease cortisol, the “stress hormone” that can keep you up at night. It also helps muscles relax, to give you that calm “sleepy” feeling and help you unwind after a long day.

It doesen't imidiately help you get to sleep by directly making you sleepy in my case but when you do you will sleep well! If your stress levels lower you should find getting to sleep in time gets easier anyway.

Never do I see suggestions for the one thing that, over 90 percent of the time, fixes the actual problem within 24 hours. This one thing is magnesium. A mineral found in low levels in many foods, it is a component of more than 325 different enzymes in the human body. It plays an important role in hydration, muscle relaxation, energy production and, crucially, the deactivation of adrenaline. Having sufficient magnesium in your body does not necessarily guarantee that you will go into a deep sleep quickly and stay there, but insufficient stores of the mineral guarantee that you won’t. And almost everyone I see is short of magnesium.

1 tabet Solgar Magnesium Citrate 400mg before bed. Could be huge benefits for you, and lots!

Magnesium Citrate Solgar 400mg tablets work great although there may well be better forms out there!

Evidence is mounting that low levels of magnesium contribute to the heavy metal deposition in the brain that precedes Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer’s. Many of the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease can be overcome with high magnesium supplementation. In a trial with 30 epileptics 450 mg of magnesium supplied daily successfully controlled seizures. Another study found that the lower the magnesium blood levels the more severe was the epilepsy. In most cases magnesium works best in combination with vitamin B6 and zinc.


Only two drugs I can find that must be avoided with major interactions with Magnesium Citrate.


abacavir / dolutegravir / lamivudine (different names of same)

and dolutegravir (2drugs)

You should always consult your doctor though before suplementation.

Where do you get this "drug" from???

Thats the beauty of it its not like taking a drug.Magnesium is an abundant mineral in the body, it is naturally present in many foods. I use Solgar Magnesium Citrate 400mg tablets I buy from Amazon but I read somewhere that Magnesium Theonate is the best form. If you google around you will find many stories of people saying how much it has helped them.

Im not a salesman, I can see how this can help many people and just wanted to get it out there. My stress levels have dropped and its worked wonders for me but we are all different. Check out what people say about it and you might be suprised!

I would also like to point out that used in conjunction with regular exercise you could beat a lot of problems here! Regular exercise has done an awful lot for me in my fight against Bipolar but since taking this supplement I feel pretty much cured!

Its worth trying to do a little bit every day but ideally 20 minutes 3-4 times a week is of a massive benefit to you in so many ways. If anything I train too much now covering on average around a Half Marathon a day but I love it and I love competing so until my knees give out im going to keep doing it!

Cheers for sharing. Natural medicines are in abundance, for every chemical that the NHS will give you and cause an imbalance in your body there is a natural, holistic treatment.

Anyone failed by the NHS i would recommend visiting a Chinese or Ayurveda medicine practitioner.

Most definitely!

The benefits of magnesium have been well documented for many years. I fully endorse everything the op has said about magnesium but would just add that the best way to boost your magnesium levels is trans dermally, ie through the skin. You can do this by getting a magnesium chloride spray and massaging it into the body for optimal results, cured my back and shoulder problems after years of pain.
