Types of Magnesium for Anxiety, Sleep and Mental Health

Magnesium for Mental Health

You may have heard that magnesium is good for mental health.

Studies suggest magnesium can help with anxiety, depression, sleep issues, headaches, heartburn and constipation.

But it is really important to know that this was achieved using different types of magnesium.

Magnesium is not always magnesium!

Some types of magnesium help with anxiety. Others types of magnesium are mostly just a laxative.

On this page, we look at the different types of magnesium.

The fact that different types of impact on our bodies is surprising and amazing.

It's also surprising and amazing that science doesn't really understand what the different types of magnesium do, even though it's a really important part of our nutrition. Many more studies are required.

Please note, this is not nutritional nor medical advice. See you doctor or nutritionalist to get the right magnesium for you.
