for Panic Attacks
Magnesium deficiency is associated with heightened stress reactivity and anxiety. Some people with panic disorder have low magnesium levels, and supplementation may reduce anxiety sensitivity.
How it works
Magnesium is a natural NMDA antagonist and supports GABA function. Reduces excitatory neurotransmission associated with hyperarousal and lowers cortisol and adrenaline responses.
What to watch for
Evidence is limited specifically for panic disorder. Glycinate or threonate forms are best tolerated. Not a replacement for CBT, which has far stronger evidence.
