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.

I have suffered from fibromyalgia for most of my adult life. Magnesium Malate was recommended by my former family doctor, who was knowledgeable about fibro. When I miss a dose, I notice changes in my muscle function, making Mag Malate essential for me.

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.

I have been taking magnesium malate for many years. It started when I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, and a specialist advised us to begin taking it. It has definitely helped, and I continue to take it even now; it also aids in bowel lubrication.

Incredible product! I have had fibromyalgia for many years, and this is the ONLY product that does anything for me. I ran out a couple of times, thinking to wait before buying more to see if it still worked, and I regret it! This product minimises my flares and lessens both their frequency and intensity. I never go without it any longer!

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.
