Yes, it's a trade off and she needs to adjust the doses down if she can. Right now she's in shit shape mentally after being ditched by her fiancé so hopefully time will help her get over that, but truly amazing how well and quickly the magnesium glycinate helps calm her down. Physically she's as strong as can be. She's a level II Crossfit trainer and stronger than me. We're going try transitioning towards getting the magnesium from food sources if we can get her over this hump. She eats healthy, but she's obviously not getting enough magnesium and burning it up quickly right now.

You can use Mag Oil as another way to get Mg into the body. Its basically Magnesium Sulphate aka Epsom Salts mixed with water and rubbed on the skin. If its really concentrated it will sting the skin, but dilute to reduce the stinging effect. Alternatively soak in a bath with Magnesium Sulphate. https://www.epsomsaltcouncil.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/report_on_absorption_of_magnesium_sulfate.pdf https://www.epsomsaltcouncil.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/... Any sulphate can be absorbed through the skin, so soaking in copper sulphate will get more copper into the body which is useful for all types of Collagen. Copper will also make smokers feel like they are smoking their very first cigarette, ie they will feel nauseous if they smoke within 30mins of taking a copper supplement. I wouldnt advise applying copper sulphate directly onto the skin though as it will debride the skin and is now only used by the US Military for cleaning extreme wounds. Magnesium irritates the lower bowel hence the diarrhea, so if taken orally, its better to take little and often through the day rather than one big supplement for a day, and always take after eating because tablets breakdown in the gut and get into the blood stream quickly. Magnesium is also used to make ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) which helps provide cellular energy so being superfit, her demands for Mg will be higher than a sedate person. Taking Potassium also helps the cells take up glucose, amino acids and other nutrients including magnesium whilst sodium makes the cells take up just water, so in a way sodium starves cells at a cellular level, which could help contribute to a variety of problems including anxiety. To get your daily potassium intake of 4.7grams, you would need to eat 11 large banana's a day. One sign you are deficient in Potassium is you crave sugary foods after eating, but if you supplement around >2g with potassium (chloride/bicarbonate) your sugar cravings will go.

Has she checked her magnesium blood levels? It might be that she's not actually deficient, but magnesium is a NMDA antagonist (afik) and the axiety relief might come from that. I'm just saying that magnesium might be a temporary fix, but she might get magnesium "poisoned" (if that's a thing) and you should search for an actual drug that has the same mechanism of action as magnesium does, but something that doesn't build up in your system.
