In reply to Calcium/Magnesium and B6 for Depression, posted by Lao Tzu on January 21, 2011, at 10:05:10
I just want to update that it is not necessarily true that if you raise your calcium and/or magnesium that the depression will improve. I'm finding this out. You can actually take too much of these minerals, and too much may adversely affect your depression. So be careful. Incorporate them into your regimen if you feel the need to, but I would start at lower dosages and gradually work up to what you can tolerate. Some people think that simply taking large doses of magnesium will miraculously cure your depression. In my opinion, I think this statement is too short-sighted. There are so many other factors at work in depression. It's not as simple as taking one mineral. It may help, but it's not the entire picture.
