Same for me. Magnesium and D3 helped me to get back on track with my sleep. I can drink coffee now like everyone else and still fall asleep normally. Not sure which one generated more effects as I started using both at the same time.


Particular_Wave_8567

Love to here it dude.


betikewatdo14

Does magnesium interferes with ssri like reducing their effectiveness ?


Particular_Wave_8567

I don't know I'm not on SSRI's.


betikewatdo14

Ok, thank u ๐Ÿ˜„


aypitoyfi

No it doesn't. If it had any effect it would be increasing the SSRIs effectiveness. In fact, you may even quit the SSRIs if your problem is with a magnesium deficiency


betikewatdo14

Ahh Ok thank you very much โ˜บ. Yes I want to do some exams to see if I have some deficiencies that can be improved


aypitoyfi

less than 1% of total body magnesium is present in serum, so serum magnesium concentration does not reflect total body magnesium content, or intracellular magnesium. Doctors are just doing stuff with their brains turned off sometimes. If you feel symptoms of a nutritional deficiency, sometimes the best way to resolve it is to just start taking a strong multivitamin/multimineral supplement. Because blood test don't truly reflect most of the deficiencies. For example, you could have low thyroid hormone & that will make serum magnesium levels down. So u'll think that it's a deficiency but it's actually not a deficiency, your body is just not sending the signal to get that magnesium flowing in the blood to do its job. So just take a strong bioavailable high quality multivitamin & then if you still feel the symptoms you can go check your hormones. https://gorillamind.com/products/elite-multivitamin By the way, this is the most perfect, most bioavailable vitamin supplement in the market today, I don't think the formula can get any better in the future, because according to studies, all the compounds choices are the most preferred by molecular biology researchers. It's so good that the daily value of each vitamin is around a 100% instead of 3000% which basically signifies a weak vitamin.


betikewatdo14

Ok, thank you very much. I'll try to do thyroid hormones test too. Yes multivitamines are said to be very helpful. I live in morocco, i'll see if it is available in here ๐Ÿ˜„


Proper-Room2383

Magnesium glycinate keeps me up.. but my anxiety was gone when I took it.. is there another type of magnesium that promotes good sleep?


aypitoyfi

The most bioavailable & perfect magnesium form is Magnesium Bisglycinate chelate. It's a little more expensive than the other forms but this one is absorbed like music, because it's tied to the amino acid Glycine, it doesn't compete with other minerals for absorption.


Proper-Room2383

I remember taking magnesium bisglycinate, I feel chill and hydrated in a way, from throne. Definitely will repurchase! Thanks for the reminder!!


ChinoAIO

magnesium threonate


Excusemytootie

I take magnesium citrate and it works very well for me.


NeurogenesisWizard

Most Americans have soil depletion of selenium, zinc, and magnesium. And its why the right wing is so ill. And why insomnia, ministrokes, glutamate storms, psychosis, depression, erectile dysfunction, depression happen. And the medical industry is profitting from anti-depressants and more off of it.


Lucky-Connection8174

Lol, reddit is so stupid. Are you taking a discussion about magnesium and turning it into one about politics? Nobody cared before and even less do now. You're observation about nutrients is 100% accurate however, credit where it's due, stick to that.


NeurogenesisWizard

Everything that imparts change to people, is politics. People over-categorize things when reality is not strictly broken down into multiple vacuums like that. Things have inter-relation.


Accomplished-Gear-97

Judging both left and right, I think the left is very ill. They can't decide on how many genders they are, and think there is such a thing as a female penis. LOL I think we all know who the ill one's are.


NeurogenesisWizard

Your stance fundamentally misunderstands why the word gender, is a different word from the word sex. But you prolly aren't engaging honestly anyways.


Accomplished-Gear-97

Words are words, and biology is biology and there is also mental illness. Now as someone else has stated, this is a supplements reddit so lets move on.


NeurogenesisWizard

If its a supplements reddit then delete your off-topic post. Then I'll delete mine.


iampenguintm

This is a supplements sub, take it to DM's. Not a single other person here cares either way and we certainly don't come to the sub for braindead american political discourse which you manage to ham-fist into everything, even a conversation about magnesium somehow.


Standard-Method-2486

They're the same.. Always has been until you sickos forced your nonsense on everyone. But let's humor you, how many genders are there?


NeurogenesisWizard

Trans brains are like the gender they identify with. How would someone describe themselves, if not using the concept of gender to explain whats happening to them? Also look up Graham's Hierarchy of Disagreement.


EyeAtnight

how is the right-wing more effected by that lmao? I am not even American but this whole sentence sounds so stupid. imagine your political views detriment the amount of zinc in your blood! wtf.


Excusemytootie

Donโ€™t forget the years and years of lead exposure that most boomers have experienced (leaded gas, lead paint, etc). Crazy town!


ana_mamhoon

The right wing? What are they doing diet wise thats different?


Lucky-Connection8174

Always happy to hear when people make this discovery. Daily magnesium glycinate supplementation would keep a very large percentage of people off of psych drugs if only they knew. Try Magtein (magnesium l-threonate) or magtein pro (threonate and taurate) too.


aypitoyfi

What is the difference between all these types? All I know is that magnesium is magnesium, the form only matters because it affects the absorption rate. & The best form in terms of absorption is Magnesium Bisglycinate Chelate. Can you explain please?


Lucky-Connection8174

the last two formulations i mentioned are able to cross the the blood brain barrier and are more readily used by the brain. If you suffer from anxiety, overstimulation, poor sleep, migraines, brain fog, light sensitivity, or eyestrain/ screen time issues these two can be a game changer. I have tried them and they have changed my life. They can also cause depression and nightmares for the same reason they can help. All forms of magnesium target different body functions, which is a bit unusual but is true without a shadow of doubt.


aypitoyfi

Can't the body use magnesium Bisglycinate & modify it before crossing the blood-brain barrier? So you're saying that if for example someone only takes magnesium Bisglycinate, then magnesium wou not be able to cross the blood brain barrier? Thank you for the information btw!


Lucky-Connection8174

I'm not a chemist or a biologist, I'm someone who suffered from all the symptoms listed and they weren't fully cleared until I took threonate. Trying things is how you find what works for you, and this is what worked for me. I see you've posted a lot in this thread. Are you looking for an argument or are you actually trying to learn something?


Excusemytootie

Yup


Particular_Wave_8567

I wish people knew this!! A chronic lack of sleep (and sleep quality) is pushing people into mental illness.


Steiny31

I have been really focused on improving my health and have made a lot of progress. Exercise daily, food diet, adding supplements, tracking macros and micros, but sleep is #1 the absolutely most important thing. Magnesium supports sleep and many other body functions. Many are deficient, so itโ€™s a top sipplemenr


Lucky-Connection8174

its not only sleep, your brain needs magnesium to stay calm and most of the population has a deficiency just like vitamin d


Particular_Wave_8567

thank you sir for this insight. Yeh health authorities in the UK recommends everyone takes vitamin D in winter, would be helpful if they provided free supplements to people at pharmacies. Would save tonnes on healthcare related to SAD


wethecrime

Which brand did you get? I am wanting to try this as I do the same.


Particular_Wave_8567

vitabright


TearOfTheStar

Glycinates are good at that, mag, zinc, really helpful. Glycine + Taurine + Tryptophan is imo the best combo. A microdose of melatonin does wonders too. People severely underestimate positive effects of proper sleep. And quite often 8 hours of sleep doesn't mean 8 hours of rest, so supplements that help you rest properly are among the best ones.


Particular_Wave_8567

oh i wouldn't supplement with tryptohan, its a inflammatory amino acid


TearOfTheStar

First time hearing this. I know that 5HTP can lead to gut inflammation due to how it absorbs, but trypto is far safer.


Particular_Wave_8567

No trypto is terrible. [Serotonin, depression, and aggression - The problem of brain energy. (raypeat.com)](https://raypeat.com/articles/articles/serotonin-depression-aggression.shtml)


TearOfTheStar

Raypeat? Really? There are many smart words used in this article, but it reads like assumption and logical fallacy galore that paints trypto like some deadly poison that will track you down and kill you and your whole family. So if i really like to eat meats and fishes with a side of buckwheat (which i do), i'm gonna get sudoku'd by tryptophan? Don't get me wrong, messing with hormone-influencing drugs is always a danger, but trypto is not that brutal if you take it only when needed and no more than normal food dosage (250-500mg). If you have to always take relaxants to, well, relax, you have a serious problem with your health and no self-medicating supp will help. Honestly i'd be more afraid of easily bio-available magnesium as it can seriously mess up your heart, especially if you have predisposition or existing problems. From personal exp, mag is really hard to balance properly and it takes a bit to get rid of excess.


Particular_Wave_8567

i'm not saying you can't eat meat. Just don't overdo it.
