A Trio of Support For Mental Resilience
268 people with “stress disorders” aka depression and anxiety, confirmed on the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS) 42, plus magnesium levels tested. Half got 300mg magnesium on its own, the other half got 300 mg magnesium plus 30mg B6 (note that is a 10:1 ratio – the exact same ratio we use in Magnesium Plus). They […]
