I’ve seen this on another forum. http://anxietyforum.net/forum/showthread.php?4408-Amino-Acids-and-Magnesium-cured-my-Anxiety Seems interesting but all the amino acids is overwhelming for me. There’s 20 but which ones helps anxiety?
Thanks for this very helpful info, Peter. I think we get amino acids from poultry and fish maybe? I'm not sure if it would cure all anxiety though as there are different forms.

I suppose it is just that different vitamins and minerals affect the body in different ways.

Hahaha. That is a bit overwhelming, but pretty interesting and quite intriguing.

I guess you just need to ask for a supplement of "aminoacids + Vitamin B" and see what they offer you. Some brands got them in one bottle but you might need to buy them separately.

The other thing was Magnesium Chloride. Making sure both words are in the label. Though seems like is fine if you order any. Also the thread suggested you got it liquid instead of the pills for faster absorption

From what I understood, you would start taking them one, once a day and then lower the dosage if as your anxiety reduces.

I have no clue how well this work, but I am assuming with unbalanced diet many of us could be skipping in this kind of nutrients and that could be making our condition even more severe so I guess it is worth a shot.

Still, perhaps learning in what food we can find each naturally can also help us. I guess fruit and fish are the ones that come to mind.

Good luck with your shopping, Peter!

Yes best to ask somebody that works there. From what I read there’s so many amino acids so no idea which ones are needed for anxiety lol
