We conducted a randomized, controlled, double-blind study to determine the effects of magnesium on fibromyalgia symptoms. Our findings showed that magnesium supplementation did not lead to a significant reduction in overall stress levels compared to placebo.
However, we did find that magnesium significantly reduced mild to moderate stress and pain severity among participants. These results suggest that including magnesium in treatment could help alleviate some of the burdens fibromyalgia patients face.
This research indicates further exploration of magnesium’s potential should take place in larger studies.

Magnesium benefits mood but not sleep
We investigated the impact of a diet rich in magnesium and tryptophan on psychological well-being and sleep quality among women with fibromyalgia. In a trial with two groups, one received the enriched Mediterranean diet while the other group followed a standard diet.
After 16 weeks, we found that the enriched diet significantly reduced anxiety, mood disturbances, eating disorders, and body image dissatisfaction. However, it did not improve sleep quality. Overall, while magnesium showed potential benefits for mental health in fibromyalgia, its effect on sleep wasn’t significant.

We explored whether transdermal magnesium chloride could enhance the quality of life for women with fibromyalgia through a practical study involving 40 female participants.
Over four weeks, each participant applied magnesium spray twice daily and completed surveys to track their symptoms.
Our findings suggest that using this magnesium treatment may provide some benefit, improving participants' overall quality of life and fibromyalgia-related symptoms.
While promising, more research is needed to confirm these results.

Best absorption

Can't do without it! I ran out of my previous magnesium brand and tried another, but it didn't deliver the same results. With fibromyalgia, this product appears to have the best absorption rate and helps me sleep more soundly.

Slight pain relief

The pain is slightly reduced. I have Fibromyalgia, which became known through Lady Gaga’s announcement. Taking this highly absorbable magnesium with sunflower lecithin and serrapeptase helps alleviate some of my pain. I hope to achieve better results and am happy to share this information with others experiencing Fibromyalgia.

Magnesium may influence fibromyalgia
We assessed how micronutrients, particularly magnesium, relate to fibromyalgia symptoms through a study involving twenty Italian women. The study revealed that deficiencies in vitamin D and magnesium are linked to worsening physical functioning and stiffness in fibromyalgia patients.
Despite the promising findings regarding magnesium, the overall benefit of micronutrient supplementation remains debated. Our research suggests that checking micronutrient levels and addressing deficiencies could be an effective strategy in managing fibromyalgia symptoms.

We explored the impact of magnesium citrate on fibromyalgia by studying 60 diagnosed women and comparing them to healthy controls. Participants were assigned to receive either magnesium citrate, amitriptyline, or both for eight weeks.
Interestingly, we discovered that magnesium levels were lower in those with fibromyalgia, showing a connection to their symptoms. After treatment, those taking magnesium citrate showed marked improvement in pain points and depression scores.
However, the combination of magnesium with amitriptyline yielded the best results across all measurements, indicating that while magnesium alone helps, it works even better alongside other treatments.

Supports nervous system
1 people found this helpful
Magnesium is incredibly valuable for the body. I ordered it to support my nervous system during fibromyalgia exacerbations. In combination with other medications from iHerb, I've felt much better in a short time. Magnesium stearate is the most bioavailable form for organics.

Sleepless nights resolved
The capsules are rather large, but I had no issues swallowing them. I suffered from dreadful leg cramps at night, and these resolved the problem. I take two capsules at bedtime, and I'm now sleeping better with significantly less muscle soreness. I have fibromyalgia, and this magnesium form works best for me.
5
Variable effectiveness
It's not recommended for those with muscle and joint pain. For me, it's weakly effective, but much better than nothing. I experience fibromyalgia symptoms, and while it has benefited me a lot, its effectiveness can vary from person to person.
8
Relief from cramps
No more muscle cramps! I suffer from fibromyalgia, which causes significant pain. Someone suggested I try magnesium supplements, and I am very pleased with the quality and price. They are rather large tablets, and the recommended dosage is two tablets twice a day. I would certainly purchase these again!

We investigated the effects of magnesium, along with Coenzyme Q10 and tryptophan, on fibromyalgia symptoms, focusing on fatigue. In a well-structured trial with 110 patients, we found that while fatigue didn't show significant improvement with magnesium, other areas did. Specifically, pain intensity, sleep quality, and overall impact of fibromyalgia improved with supplementation. Interestingly, the placebo group also reported reductions in fatigue. Though magnesium didn't significantly reduce fatigue, it was well-tolerated and offered benefits in other symptoms of fibromyalgia.
