I started taking a daily magnesium supplement called Natural Calm in May 2015 to help with very high stress and insomnia issues. My husband had a rare chronic illness called Boerhaaves Syndrome happen to him in 2013 where his lower esophagus burst near where it connects to the stomach. It happened while he was throwing up from food poisoning, it can happen to anyone while vomiting! This event changed him and our lives forever and is what set me on the search for natural healing methods to improve the quality of our lives.

I was having panic attacks almost daily, I had a hard time controlling my anger, and I was exhausted all the time from not sleeping. I started searching YouTube for recommendations for natural stress and insomnia remedies and came across many testimonials about how Natural Calm magnesium supplement helped people with these issues. I found out that most people who eat an American typical diet are magnesium deficient and my agitation and anxiety were symptoms of this. I was not eating well, the majority of my meals were packaged pre-made processed meals which are low in nutrition and magnesium, but they made meal time easier for me with so many responsibilities. I started taking the Natural Calm daily and it took about 3 weeks before I no longer had daily anxiety attacks and was more calm.

After taking Natural Calm daily for several years I have considered discontinuing but when I run out and my order hasn’t arrived yet, I start getting anxious and grumpy after a couple of days so I know Natural Calm is still needed to help me be anxiety free and calm.

I have heard many testimonials from people about Natural Calm helping with their insomnia and giving people restful nights sleep.  Natural Calm has helped me tremendously with anxiety and stress relief and briefly for insomnia. But shortly after my body started to be more calm I started having menopausal hot flashes which are now what keep me up most of the night and Natural Calm does not help with that. 

I have been drinking Natural Calm for several years now and I feel Natural Calm has made a huge improvement to the quality of my life. I was struggling to keep things together when I was having daily anxiety attacks and felt very hopeless. It was a very difficult time and Natural Calm made those anxiety attacks go away for me which greatly improved the quality of my life.

I recently started using the Natural Calm Magnesium with Calcium option since I learned that if a person is deficient in calcium then the body cannot metabolize the magnesium properly. Also as I am approaching 50 years old I am concerned about my bone health so this new Natural Calm helps support that too! I like both the Natural and the Raspberry-Lemon flavors. To use, the powder needs to be activated with a bit of hot water which will make the powder fizz like alka seltzer. Once the fizzing stops I add a little cold water and drink it. It can be drunk hot like a tea too. I use 1 1/2 teaspoons of powder once a day first thing in the morning. If I am feeling anxious or had a stressful day I will also have another dose when I get home from work or before bed.

Below is additional information about magnesium and it’s benefits:

What exactly is magnesium?

Magnesium is a mineral essential for 300 enzymatic reactions within the body including the metabolism of food, synthesis of fatty acids and proteins, and the transmission of nerve impulses. The best natural sources of magnesium are leafy greens like spinach. Many American diets are have very little magnesium rich foods and many Americans are magnesium deficient. Medications, gastrointestinal disorders, and alcohol can also contribute to magnesium deficiency.

Some symptoms of magnesium deficiency:

Fatigue
Weakness
Muscle cramps
Muscle spasms
Eye Twitch
Facial Tics
Constipation
Heart rhythm spasms
Migraines
Numbness and tingling
Seizures
Depression
Anxiety
Insomnia
Osteoporosis

Magnesium is used by the body in the relaxation of muscles and calcium is used for the contraction of muscles. If there is a deficiency of either magnesium or calcium it throws the body out of balance and the body starts to perform less efficiently with muscle cramps, muscle spasms and facial tics like eye twitching displayed. If there is calcium but not enough magnesium there is high risk of kidney stones forming and cardiovascular disease. Osteoporosis can happen even if taking calcium if there is not enough intake of magnesium daily.

Caution, if you take too much magnesium it will act as a laxative causing diarrhea. Cut your dosage but don’t stop taking Natural Calm if this happens. It can take a few weeks of experimenting to figure out what works best for your body. You need to be patient to figure out the dosage and to see results. The results I experienced and continue to experience today from taking Natural Calm daily are life changing and totally worth it!
