PTSD

PTSD or post tramatic stress disorder causes excessive or unrealistic anxiety and worry  beyond what's appropriate for a situation. Living with PTSD can be difficult, but treatment is available. Medications and psychotherapy can help ease symptoms, and individuals can learn healthy coping skills to manage PTSD. In a British study, taking magnesium daily for six weeks reduced arrhythmias between 25% and 50%. In new U.S. Department of Agriculture tests, women skimping on magnesium developed irregular heartbeats within three months. Supplements corrected the abnormality.

PSTD can effect the entire body, some studies have found that people with several types of heart problems or heart disease benefit from increased magnesium intake (in some studies the magnesium comes from food, in others from supplements or injections). However, other studies have found that supplemental magnesium doesn’t help people with heart disease live longer. Not all forms of magnesium are equally well absorbed, but this form (magnesium citrate) is well absorbed, so that's why we use this in our tablets - we want to give you the very best nutritional supplements supported by scientific research.

Magnesium may even have it's say in helping individuals deal with PTSD.  It's normal to feel anxious or worried at times. Everyone does. In fact, a moderate amount of anxiety can be good. Anxiety helps you respond appropriately to real danger, and it can help motivate you to excel at work and at home. But if you often feel very anxious without reason and your worries disrupt your daily life, you may have generalized anxiety disorder or even post tramatic stress disorder.
