I’ve found exactly one supplement that had a major impact on my quality of life, and that’s magnesium. Something about magnesium supplements greatly reduced my daily anxiety, to the point that I was amazed because I’d always just imagined I was an “anxious person”.
- zokula 6y agoHow much do you take a day an In dosage?
- vanderZwan 5y agoI'm not the person you asked, but the most important part isn't the dosage, it's the form. Basically, make sure the magnesium tablet is anything but magnesium oxide - our digestive systems cannot absorb that. Just about any other form (there's like... six of them) will work. Magnesium oxide only helps with constipation, which is also important I guess but a completely different problem.
- wincy 5y agoI take Magnesium Glycinate personally, but have heard good things about Magnesium Threonate.

- vanderZwan 5y agoMagnesium has an important role in the chemistry and development of neurons, and it is very common for people to have a shortage of it: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31336935/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31336935/ In my case taking magnesium helps with insomnia and ADHD symptoms (although it's impossible to tell if the ADHD improved directly due the magnesium, or due to better sleep)
