Let me introduce you to my friend Magnesium. It's improved my sleep quality substantially in the past 2 weeks I've started taking it

Thanks for the tip. What dose so you take?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think it's 200 mg. There's a couple different formats out there. Some are more gentle on your stomach. Go with those, and take before bed. Omega 3s are supposed to help, too, so I take them as well

Some are more gentle on your stomach.

You may have helped me solve a mystery. I started taking it a few weeks ago and I've had a lot of abdominal discomfort recently, but never put the two together. Also, I've unfortunately not seen any improvement in my chronic fatigue.

Apparently magnesium glycinate is the one (I was drawing a blank) that's easier on you. supposedly it takes a few weeks to kick in, but I noticed an improvement in sleep right away.

really hope you get the rest you need. If you're still struggling, check your iron/test for Celiac's - I'm just some guy on the internet, but my wife has super low iron and my FIL has celiac's - in his case he had no symptoms at all, apart from fatigue and weight loss.

Thank you so much! I will try some magnesium glycinate. I am taking iron as well as I'm almost always low on that. Appreciate you taking the time to help.

Glycinate or Citrate will do the most for you sleep wise. Pills are dirt cheap, or if you want some flavor you can buy Natural Calm. It's just flavored magnesium citrate.

Pills are 200mg per pill, I have alot of sleep issues I usually take 4 pills. 2 if each type and sleep like a baby. But some people can't handle the magnesium and it causes diarrhea
