The RDA on Magnesium is almost never there on multivitamin formulas and so should be added separatedly, I can't really feel that (significantly) it helps for anxiety or jittery though, same goes for theanine, in fact theanine makes my jittery/anxiety worse. Best for jittery/anxiety is taurine, at around 2 grams per each 100mg of caffeine, YMMV.
I've noted overall anxiety got noteacible better when I added DHEA, I'd guess due to changes in the cortisol to DHEA ratio.
- 8bitsrule 5y agoThis NIH info may be useful for people looking for RDAs: "Vitamin and Mineral Supplement Fact Sheets" [https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/list-VitaminsMinerals/ https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/list-VitaminsMinerals/] For example, the Mg page lists RDA's by sex and age: [https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Magnesium-Consumer/ https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Magnesium-Consumer/] It recommends 400-420mg/d for adult males, 310-320 for women (matches the # on my MVM container) (I found this quickly by starting at the MedlinePlus front page, recommended to me by an Info specialist at a major medical center. Well laid-out readable access to a lot of vetted info from the U.S. National Library of Medicine.) [https://medlineplus.gov/ https://medlineplus.gov/]
- wincy 5y agoOh that’s interesting! I bet that’s why I can’t tolerate coffee but the caffeine + taurine in Monster and Red Bull are fantastic for giving me energy.
- kortex 5y agoThanks for the taurine tip. I've always enjoyed the red bull sensation more than coffee. Never thought taurine would be neuro-active enough, but I'm revisiting that idea. Theanine is great with caffeine also. I just spoon it in 200-400mg into my coffee.
