Natural
Magnesium Supplementation
for Oedema (Fluid Retention)
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
Best evidence is for premenstrual fluid retention. High-dose magnesium can cause diarrhoea.
