[QUOTE="FireDragon76, post: 77586692, member: 330042"] I just took a small amount of magnesium citrate, along with a cup of green tea, and the stress score on my Garmin watch decreased significantly. The past hour there's been alot of "blue" (rest) in the Body Battery screen, indicating recovery/recharge. So it's possible I've been somewhat deficient in magnesium. Before COVID I was often taking theanine and magnesium before going to bed, and it was improving my sleep, but I guess I got out of the habit. I suspect I might be deficient because palm hearts aren't particularly a great source of magnesium compared to whole grain rice or nuts, foods I have been cutting back on. I have to eat a relatively low calorie diet because my basal metabolic rate is so low (it's around 1400 calories/day), and maybe it's harder to get all the nutrients. Magnesium can also be lost through sweating, and I've been outside more and maybe that is the cause. A source of cheap magnesium is Epsolm Salts, BTW, but I prefer just buying magnesium citrate liquid at the pharmacy in the bottles and taking it by the tablespoon (as opposed to drinking half the bottle as a laxative). It's better absorbed. [/QUOTE]
