4 Supplements That May Help Better Manage Your Anxiety, According to Experts

Joshua Rubinstein, ND, a clinical faculty member at Bastyr Center For Natural Health in Seattle, told POPSUGAR that magnesium can also be used in the treatment of anxiety. He noted that there's evidence that chronic stress is associated with lower magnesium levels in the blood. "Lower levels of magnesium have also been shown to reduce our body's ability to deal with stress and trauma and potentially make addictive behaviors more likely," Dr. Rubinstein explained. "Magnesium supplementation could therefore be useful in both the treatment of anxiety and addiction."
