I have never been a bit fan of taking vitamins or supplements.  Honestly, I always thought it was overkill, and thought you should be able to (easily) get everything you need from your foods.

Well... I'm starting to wonder about that.

Based on advice from my chiropractor, and things I'd been reading, I started taking fish oil capsules (spring for the good stuff here, or you risk getting extra doses of heavy metals!) and a B-stress-complex.

After a couple weeks, I noticed... I've started dreaming again!

I hadn't noticed when I stopped... but I knew my sleep had been very restless, and not deep or satisfying - I was tired all the time.  Now, I'm actually waking up just before my alarm, right after a dream!

So, this is very, very cool - but makes me wonder what else I'm missing...

I've also just started taking magnesium... apparently something like 2/3 of Americans are deficient in magnesium, and it's incredibly important for our bodies to function correctly.  So, I'm hoping it helps me with a couple more issues I've been having.

I also wrote about magnesium and it's relationship to migraines - something I only learned of recently!  Apparently, some doctors use magnesium as a way to treat migraines (through injections though, for rapid relief - ouch!)

So if you suffer from chronic migraines, you may want to give magnesium supplements a try.  You should take them with food, usually later in the day, and cut back if you notice yourself having frequent loose stools.

And, take a look at my article: "The Magnesium-Migraine Link - What You Don't Know Could be Killing You"  (yes, I went for a bit of drama in the title, but it's still good, interesting info!)

Enjoy!
