Magnesium potentially benefits CFS patients
We investigated the relationship between magnesium levels in red blood cells and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). A case-control study revealed that CFS patients had lower magnesium levels than healthy individuals.
In a randomized, double-blind trial, 32 CFS patients received either magnesium sulphate or a placebo for six weeks. Those treated with magnesium reported significant improvements in energy, emotional wellbeing, and pain relief, with twelve out of fifteen feeling better.
In contrast, only three out of seventeen patients on placebo reported any improvement. Overall, these findings suggest that magnesium treatment may positively impact the wellbeing of those suffering from CFS.

We aimed to understand the effects of magnesium sulfate treatment on a patient with chronic fatigue syndrome. The case involved a 29-year-old woman experiencing severe fatigue alongside various symptoms, including swelling lymph nodes and muscle pain.
After other treatments failed to provide relief, we administered magnesium sulfate intravenously once a week. Remarkably, after six weeks, the patient reported a significant reduction in fatigue and improved daily functioning, eventually leading to her discharge from the hospital.

We investigated how magnesium levels relate to chronic fatigue by studying 93 patients with unexplained fatigue.
Around 47% of participants showed magnesium deficiency, linked to reduced plasma antioxidant capacity.
Although magnesium supplementation didn't increase blood glutathione levels, we observed improved magnesium stores and vitamin E levels.
However, this did not equate to a significant boost in antioxidant activity or a decrease in lipid vulnerability. Therefore, while magnesium may help improve some parameters, it is not a panacea for chronic fatigue syndrome.

After one course of magnesium, my condition has improved somewhat. I fall asleep faster, and while there are occasional difficulties, they are less frequent. My overall fatigue has noticeably decreased, and I no longer wake up feeling exhausted.

Magnesium shows promise for CFS
We explored the effects of magnesium on chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), a condition marked by extended periods of debilitating fatigue. While there’s no definitive therapy established for CFS, our review of clinical trials reveals that magnesium treatment has shown promise, enhancing the well-being of some patients.
Other treatments like acyclovir have proven ineffective, and although intravenous immunoglobulin therapy shows potential, its results remain debated. We recognize that restoring immune function may be a piece of the puzzle, but overall, the effectiveness of magnesium for treating CFS symptoms is yet to be firmly established.

We systematically reviewed randomized controlled trials on complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) treatments for chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS).
Although 26 studies involving over 3,000 participants explored various therapies, the findings showed limited effectiveness overall.
While some treatments like massage and specific dietary supplements had some positive effects, most failed to provide significant benefits.
Notably, magnesium showed potential, but due to small sample sizes and biases in the studies, we can't make firm conclusions just yet. More rigorous studies are needed to confirm these effects.

Symptoms disappeared
2 people found this helpful
This is the best magnesium I’ve used. My symptoms of magnesium deficiency included anxiety, seizures, and chronic fatigue syndrome, which were exacerbated by headaches and insomnia. After just a few days of taking this magnesium, my convulsions ceased, and soon, all my other symptoms disappeared. Magnesium is essential for everyone, both for prevention and recovery.

Effective against fatigue
7 people found this helpful
After stopping eating, I had to adjust my body during the suspension period. I suffered from chronic fatigue, but this is beneficial for it. Multi vitamins, vitamin C powder, and magnesium work well; I've felt a difference in three weeks. I now wake up easier in the morning, feeling like I’ve slept deeply. However, I paused due to too many pills, but I plan to repurchase as magnesium and vitamin C seem crucial when one is tired.

Best magnesium!
3 people found this helpful
This magnesium supplement has proven the best for me after years of using different varieties. It alleviates my fatigue and aids in regulating my body's functions, including migraines and headaches. I typically take 2-3 tablets daily, and my mother finds it effective in helping her relax and sleep better in the evenings.

Unpleasant reactions
6 people found this helpful
I anticipated positive results from this magnesium, taking 1-2 tablets daily. Initially, I felt drowsiness, fatigue, and headaches during the day, and couldn't sleep at night, experiencing panic attacks by the third day. The condition was uncomfortable; I discovered these pills were the culprit. They are difficult to swallow and scratched my throat. A bad purchase, unfortunately.
