For a few months I've been taking several hundred milligrams of chelated magnesium a day, which has had an amazingly relaxing, almost stoned effect on me. As my doctor told me a while back during my physical checkup, Mg is a natural sedative and anti-hypertensive (my recent BP test was 100-something/70-something). As well as improving the nervous system and liver function in certain ways. As well as being a vital bone-building nutrient in our bodies. As relaxing as Mg often is, it oddly gives me more energy at the same time - I know that sounds a bit contradictory, but it's certainly nice on the nervous system either way.
What "chelation" means is a chemical manner in which minerals can absorb into our intestines in fairly large amounts; it means that clumps of mineral atoms are compounded onto protein molecules, so it tricks the intestines into thinking they're digesting an amino acid, but that protein molecule digests with a bunch of mineral atoms riding piggyback. I know it works well because the day after I take chelated magnesium, my urine gets so unusually cloudy it's hard to even see the trapway at the bottom of my toilet bowl ....I mean, my glorious royal bathroom "throne." Most minerals are water-soluble so your body uses what it needs and casually flushes out the excess.
