In reply to Ron Harris. Magnesium stearate causes severe allergic reactions every time I take a supplement that contains it. Please STOP using magnesium stearate. Allergic reaction is not as rare as you say.

Sorry to hear about this! I would recommend the Brain Calm Magnesium for your daughter and the Mg-K Citrate for your muscle cramps

My daughter is on the autism spectrum and suffers from severe anxiety in addition to severe obsessive thoughts and compulsions that have worsened within the past two to three years. Would this magnesium supplement be helpful for her? Also, I must take magnesium for my heart and autoimmune conditions (rheumatoid arthritis, Feltys Syndrome, severe muscle cramps and diabetes). My cardiologist prescribed magnesium oxide, although I’ve read that this is one of the worst forms of magnesium. Should I change the form of magnesium I take? I find that I must take more magnesium in order to not have the severe muscle cramping I experience just from minor activities as grocery shopping over thirty minutes.

I too, suffer a reaction to magnesium stearate. I believe it is more the magnesium. My back is set on fire and I get a horrible headache. I collected all my pills and a sample of stearate and 1 of magnesium and went off to the allergest. The headache roared and my back flared with the burning sensation, but no rash. The allergist said no allergy and left the room, never to return for questions. I changed everything i could to gel tabs, all but 3. I still have a headache everyday. When I try to eat foods with magnesium, I will get the same reaction. I know my body needs some, but I suffer when it reaches a certain limit.

In reply to Ron Harris.

Hi Ron, It sounds like there is a lot going as this has been a chronic issue for over 2 decades. Many factors can contribute to the development of migraines. I highly recommend that you work with a well trained functional health practitioner that can help you get to the root of this: https://drjockers.com/functional-nutrition-tips-to-find-a-great-health-coach/

Dr Jockers,
Your article was very Interesting. I have become either sensitive or allergic to magnesium stearate. I have been having migraines since the mid 1980’s. My wife and I have gotten more and more concerned since the headaches last as long as three (3) at a time. Several of my medications have MS in them and we wondered of it was the common denominator for the migraines.

We were coming home after visiting friends.
We stopped on the interstate to stretch and use the facilities. After doing so we bought bottled water and headed back to the car. Prior to pulling into traffic I opened my bottle and took a drink. After doing this we got back on the interstate to do the last leg of our journey but within 2-3 minutes I was blessed with a whopper of a migraine. I told my wife and she looked on the label for the water and found that it had MS.

After getting home I spent the next three days in bed with a raging migraine. I know without a doubt that MS is a trigger for my migraines. I wonder if there is such a thing as an antidote for MS?

My doctors have been thinking that I could not be correct but after giving them the facts they have swayed to our way of thinking.

My problem is that there seems to be little or nothing that can be done to shut down the headaches. I have found that I have Monoclonal Gammopathy which is an immune problem with possible severe side effects and wonder if maybe this has caused my immune system to act violently.

If you are so inclined, would you please respond to this missive.

In reply to Hector.

Hey Hector, magnesium stearate isn’t the best for sleep. I like Magnesium L-threonate for that. Check this article out: https://drjockers.com/improve-sleep/

I was told that Magnesium stearate was good for sleep at a local health food store, is this wrong? Did I buy the wrong Magnesium?
