I tried taking magnesium citrate (600mg magnesium) but after a few days I developed yeast infection (candida) symptoms so I stopped taking it (I have a long history of candida problems). George Eby warns about the danger of oral magnesium stimulating candida growth. However I did initially notice I had more energy taking the magnesium citrate, before the brain fog and irritability set in.
I bought some magnesium glyconate, but have not taken it because I fear it will also feed the yeast. Damn. I was hopeful this would help my depression and anxiety.
Instead I have been taking epsom salt baths and just yesterday started spraying magnesium oil on my body. Right from the first epsom salts bath I have felt more relaxed, which has positively affected my overall mood.
Anyone else taking magnesium baths or using a magnesium oil or gel? Are all the mood benefits immediate, or do they continue to improve as magnesium reserves build up in the body over the weeks/months?

i'm kind of sceptical about mag-candida and candida in general, but transdermal seems ok, although dosing would be very tricky...its not going to 'build up' as it gets eliminated in kidneys, but the beneficial effects may build, as improved function of systems that need mg could cause gene level changes, neutrophic effects, etc. that will improve over time
