I read that Magnesium is a natural tranquilizer, or anit stress. Is it stronger than taking a Benadryl or PM? And is any certain brand or type of Magnesium. I saw add for NSI Magnesium Calm, is it any good?

Both calcium and magnesium is helpful. When taken together they have helped folks with sleeping problems. Recognized as nature's tranquilizer and muscle relaxant. I recommend OsteoMatrix. Also helpful is Stress Relief Complex and Gentle Sleep Complex. These are all natural supplements.
Hope this is helpful and feel free to contact me with questions or the website.

There are some studies that show that it it does have a tranquilizing effect. However, one should be careful in taking magnesium supplements--they work in conjunction with Calcium and Zinc and should be taken in proper proportions.
It will not work as well as Benadryl in making you sleepy. Benadryl is an antihistamine with the side effect of causing drowsiness (and is the same ingredient in Tylenol PM, etc.).

Not that I have ever heard. Melatonin is an over the counter med that many take to help them fall to sleep. It comes in several different dosages. This works for me and it is not a narcotic.

Are you sure you didnt read about Melatonin? Magnesium does nothing for sleeping.
