Which product specifically do you use, if you don't mind me asking? I'd like to try it myself to see if it helps me as well.



I use Life Extension's but there's plenty of brands out there. https://www.lifeextension.com/vitamins-supplements/item02032...

I take one scoop, 2-3 a day. Depends on how stressed I am. Always once in the morning. Sometimes in the afternoon (it seems to help my concentration stamina). Once close to bed.

Ruminations have diminished. Anxiety greatly lowered.

I still get sad, angry, etc. But those feelings seem to dissipate much quicker. Mentally I get exhausted less. N=1, of course.

*I also take a calcium/vitamin d/zinc combo as well.


Does it really work fast enough that you could notice a difference if you took it in the afternoon vs not? I thought most vitamins and minerals took days if not weeks to work.


I feel like I noticed a real difference within three days.

I'm open to this being placebo effect.

In the morning especially, my anxiety always seemed to be at its highest. If I took the mg l-threonate before bed, those feelings in the morning just weren't there.


Why supplements instead of dietary, if you don't mind sharing?


AFAIK proper levels of Mg are hard to come by, nowadays. Soils are depleted.


Thanks, made my heart sink but makes sense :-/


Dosing is just easier.
