We set out to explore whether magnesium could alleviate the uncomfortable hot flashes experienced by breast cancer patients. In our pilot study, we enrolled women who reported having at least 14 hot flashes a week and administered magnesium oxide. The dosage started at 400 mg for four weeks, and we allowed it to escalate to 800 mg if necessary.
Among the 29 women who joined, 25 completed the treatment, with an average age of 53.5 years. We found that the frequency of hot flashes decreased significantly, dropping from an average of 52.2 per week to 27.7, which is a 41.4% reduction. The overall hot flash score, which combines frequency and severity, also showed improvement, reducing by over 50%. More than half of the participants reported that their hot flashes had decreased by more than 50%, and nearly three-quarters experienced at least a 25% reduction.
Side effects were minimal, with only a couple of women discontinuing the treatment due to headache and nausea. Overall, compliance was excellent, and many participants chose to continue taking magnesium even after the study ended. As such, the results suggest that oral magnesium could be a promising option for managing hot flashes, encouraging further research through a randomized placebo-controlled trial.

I chose magnesium based on reviews due to symptoms of deficiency like nervousness, related to menopause and severe hot flashes. Even with unclear dosage instructions, taking 2 tablets daily markedly improved my mood and significantly reduced both hot flashes and leg cramps. I highly recommend it.

Hormonal balance achieved
A great product! When used as directed, it provides clearer benefits for restful sleep. They do not upset my stomach. My muscles feel more relaxed, and I’ve experienced fewer instances of waking at night due to hot flashes since starting these.

Less intense hot flashes
It truly works unlike pharmaceuticals. During pregnancy, I experienced a lack of magnesium and tight legs. I took this twice daily, and the cramps stopped. However, after the packaging finished, I bought magnesium B6 from the pharmacy, but the cramps returned—pharmaceutical magnesium simply does not work like this one. My mother, who is now in menopause, also takes this magnesium and says her hot flashes have become less intense. The pharmacy magnesium appears to be ineffective, or perhaps it is fake.

Reduced hot flashes
My mother is pleased with this product; it has helped decrease her hot flashes. She initially took both pills daily, but that caused her joint stiffness, which resolved when she switched to one pill taken twice daily.
