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.

This preliminary evaluation might change after my experiment's conclusion. The product is excellent, consisting of magnesium malate (1,000 mg). It has been recommended by Dr. Berg to aid in relieving fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome without severe laxative effects. The dosage is 1 tablet three times daily, suitable for adults only. The tablets are tasteless and easy to take.

The energy boost from magnesium malate is wonderful! It aids energy production in cells and is particularly beneficial for those with low energy levels. It effectively treats chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia. I suggest taking it in the morning for its stimulating effects.

I often take this magnesium to support my nervous system. A neurologist mentioned that magnesium malate effectively restores the nervous system and combats stress while boosting the body's defences. Magnesium malate is pure magnesium combined with malic acid, enhancing cellular absorption. This product doesn't cause side effects, increases energy and endurance, relieves fatigue, and helps with headaches and depression. It revitalises, making it preferable to take in the morning.

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.

Boosts energy

Compared to Citrate or Oxide, which did little for the energy boost I sought, malate works wonders for me. It hasn’t upset my digestion, lessened body fatigue, and improved my sleep quality. Magnesium is crucial for my daily balance, and malate is my preferred choice. This is my second purchase.

Increases energy

Among various magnesium forms, malate is one of the best. It revitalises me, so I take it after breakfast instead of at night like glycinate. It's useful for those facing rapid fatigue and chronic fatigue syndrome, as it enhances ATP synthesis.

Gentle on stomach
1 people found this helpful
I typically don't fall ill, but after trying various magnesium supplements, I found this magnesium malate gentle on my stomach. When supplies ran out, the absence of magnesium resulted in a noticeable increase in fatigue. I now take one tablet morning and night, accounting for nutrients in my daily meals. Highly recommended!
