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
Psychological and Sleep Effects of Tryptophan and Magnesium-Enriched Mediterranean Diet in Women with Fibromyalgia.
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.

Magnesium may improve fibromyalgia symptoms
Effects of transdermal magnesium chloride on quality of life for patients with fibromyalgia: a feasibility study.
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.

Pain reduction
Reduces my fibro pain! After starting the magnesium, my muscle cramps due to fibromyalgia have diminished significantly. I am much more comfortable, and the constant shoulder pain has disappeared!

Improvement noted
No complaints! I ordered these while living in Australia for my mum in the UK, as she has fibromyalgia and arthritis, and the required magnesium strength is hideously expensive there. She received the order within two days and was delighted. The tablets seem to be of great quality, and she noticed an improvement in her condition a few weeks after starting them. Great price and product!

Muscle soreness relief
Good for Fibromyalgia. Combined with calcium, it helps with muscle soreness. It's also easy on the stomach. And best of all, it contains NO soy!
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.

Magnesium aids fibromyalgia treatment
Is magnesium citrate treatment effective on pain, clinical parameters and functional status in patients with fibromyalgia?
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.

Sleep improvement
Fine magnesium! I have suffered from fibromyalgia and insomnia for many years. This magnesium is my salvation; I take one capsule just before bed and, after five minutes, I sleep soundly. Although I can't comment on muscle effects, it significantly improves my sleep!
