I interpret that as saying that the more Magnesium you have in your body, the less energy you have. Also, the less energy you have, the less anxiety you feel. That sounds wrong to me, although I can't explain why.

Am I confused? What am I missing?

This is how I understand the anxiolytic effect of mg works:

>It acts as the gatekeeper for the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors, which are found on your nerve cells and aid brain development, memory and learning.

>In healthy adults, magnesium sits inside the NMDA receptors, preventing them from being triggered by weak signals that may stimulate your nerve cells unnecessarily.

>When your magnesium levels are low, fewer NMDA receptors are blocked. This means they are prone to being stimulated more often than necessary.

Maybe this is why I experience more rumination without magnesium?
