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.

Better sleep

I struggled with chronic fatigue syndrome, often waking multiple times at night. However, after starting magnesium on my doctor’s advice, I now fall asleep quickly and wake refreshed. It also positively affects my cardiovascular system and helps with muscle cramps. Highly recommend it!

I've realised I'm magnesium deficient, impacting my chronic fatigue syndrome. The symptoms of irritability, poor sleep and chronic fatigue have improved significantly with its use. I've chosen a soluble form, which works best for me, lifting my mood and improving my calmness and sleep quality.

Constipation relief

I sought magnesium for my mother's constipation, which persistent laxatives failed to resolve. After switching to a better-absorbed magnesium, her chronic fatigue syndrome improved significantly, leading to relief from years of suffering. It truly does wonders for those experiencing such issues!

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.

This performance supplement has transformed my life. It alleviated my chronic fatigue syndrome, headaches, and anxiety. I've discovered that magnesium deficiency can cause many symptoms. I've found that magnesium chelates and citrate are well-absorbed, unlike poorer forms. After two years of use, I’ve become more balanced and energetic.

Improved calmness

Calm, just calm. After taking 400 mg of magnesium daily for a few weeks, my symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome improved significantly. Magnesium helped ease my stress and enhance my sleep. While insomnia persists occasionally, twitches that once woke me have diminished. I believe magnesium has enabled me to manage stress better and attain a sense of calm.
