Ok, so you can’t eat enough greens, nuts, and seeds and you turn to magnesium supplements but there are so many choices, so how do you pick one? Is it as simple as going to one that has a high milligrams dosage and you go with that one or is there more to it?
My journey with magnesium supplements started when I had migraines. I started with around 300 mg and noticed it worked well to prevent it so I continued taking it until eventually I became migraine free but I don’t believe that it in itself helped me because I did make some diet and exercise changes too but I do attribute it as a first step to helping me. On a side note, at this point, I bought whatever was cheapest to see if it would work. Also, most sites will recommend about 400-600 mg dosage per day. A good site to check out about migraine and magnesium is Migraines and magnesium . But is there a type that works better?
From magnesium citrate to oxide to glycinate to many other forms, each has its own benefits as seen here Types of magnesiums but the one you should choose should be based on discussion with your doctor to make sure you aren’t over dosing or taking something that may not work. People take magnesium supplements for many reasons including relief from migraines , possibly to help sleep better, maybe to help with constipation, and even brain health benefits so choosing one is difficult so what do I do?
I chose a magnesium complex. The pic is shown below. It has five different types of magnesiums and combines to a 500 mg dosage per capsule. Synergistically this combination has helped me with not only better sleep quality but also with muscle recovery. Plus, it’s a veggie capsule so free from many things that complicate supplement formulations. As with any supplement, you should consult with your doctor before taking and give it at least three months to notice a difference.
Stay well!
