I'm wondering, how important is the glycine component of Mg glycinate. I mean, does the glycine make more gaba or something like that? Is the amount of glycine even significant enough to make any difference, or is it just a bioavailability thing? I'm worried that if it does convert to gaba, that over a few months of use it could cause tolerance. Any thoughts?
So today I took a Solgar 400mg tab, broke in three pieces, took one with breakfast, one with lunch and one in mid afternoon. I honestly was expecting either nothing, or something bad to happen.
Around noon, something strange happened. My jitteriness...inner jitters and finger jitters and knee jitters...calmed down significantly. I became overall more calm and yet energetic and motivated at the same time. Zero depression today. It really took me by surprise. I was able to get away with a little bit less xanax today. And quite honestly, if I had taken a double dose of xanax it would not have helped as much as the Mg glycinate did. I was surprised. Hope it continues. Sometimes these first day wonders end up pooping out. I am worried about tolerance.
But clearly, Mg glycinate blocked something that was causing my physical jitteriness and psychological anxiety.
How important is the glycine component? Is tolerance an issue to worry about?
Thanks for all your help. You folks are wonderful.
