What is the best type of magnesium to take?

[Dahila]

What about delivering it naturally with chia seeds, and hemp hearts. It is so easy to eat it. Hemp hearts are so good, with the slightly nutty taste. Only 50 % of the goodies in the pill absorbs into body. You should take vitemine B too.

Very good point about the importance of getting magnesium through food also, Dahlia!

I do take magnesium supplements as well though. And I'm wondering what dosage others take? I went to see a naturopathic doctor who recommended at least 400 mg of magnesium citrate every night before bed. I currently switched to a new brand of magnesium though and now I'm taking less than 400 mg per day. More like 250 mg.

How much magnesium does everyone else take?

I think the RDA is about 400mg but many people take more. You can keep working up until your start to get "loose stools".

I got some of the natural calm. Haven't tried it yet, but I'm gonna give it a try tomorrow. Can't wait to see the results! I've hard some awesome things about it!

Please let us know how it works for you! You have to work yourself up on the dosage. If you take too much it will get your bowels moving if you know what i mean lol

So I've been taking the Natural Calm for 2 days and I can definitely feel a difference. Especially in the way I deal with things. I haven't been getting as worked up as I usually would. I haven't been worrying as much either. I am definitely going to stick with it. The dosage for the Natural Calm is 300 mg a day, but it does say that if it causes loose bowels to adjust he dosage to your comfort.
The one I am taking has calcium, vitamin b, and some other minerals in it. It is a powder so it's easily absorbed. The magnesium in it is ionic magnesium.
You can Google it and look at some of the reviews, the majority of them are good.
The rep at the natural food store also said fish oil is good for anxiety symptoms. I haven't gotten any yet because I already feel like a pharmacy...lol.
