Magnesium Glycinate
for Stress
A form of magnesium that is well absorbed and gentle on the stomach, taken daily to reduce how often migraines occur. Most studies use 400-600 mg per day, taken with food. It typically takes 2-3 months of consistent use before migraine frequency noticeably improves.
How it works
Acts as a natural NMDA receptor antagonist, reducing excitatory neurotransmission. Regulates cortisol release and supports GABA synthesis. Stress depletes magnesium, creating a reinforcing cycle.
What to watch for
High doses (>400mg/day) can cause loose stools — glycinate form is better tolerated than oxide. Avoid if you have kidney disease.
