Experimental studies of anxiety in animal models, and evidence of efficacious outcomes of magnesium (Mg) supplementation in the treatment of acute clinical affective disorders, has increased interest in Mg as a potential novel treatment for symptoms of mild/moderate subjective anxiety. This short review examines the existing evidence for the effects of Mg supplementation on subjective anxiety in humans. Additionally, evidence from three unpublished studies that examined Mg and vitamin B intake on subjective anxiety is summarised to supplement the existing literature.
The efficacy of Mg in the treatment of anxiety in the mildly anxious and those reporting premenstrual syndrome-related anxiety is suggestive of a beneficial effect of Mg intake. Further randomised controlled trials are warranted to further establish the efficacy of Mg as a novel treatment for subjective anxiety.
动物模型中焦虑的实验研究，以及补充镁（Mg）治疗急性临床情感障碍有效结果的证据，增加了人们对镁作为轻度/中度主观焦虑症状潜在新疗法的兴趣。这篇简短综述考察了补充镁对人类主观焦虑影响的现有证据。此外，总结了三项未发表研究中关于镁和维生素B摄入对主观焦虑影响的证据，以补充现有文献。
镁在治疗轻度焦虑者和报告经前综合征相关焦虑者的焦虑方面的疗效表明摄入镁有有益作用。有必要进行进一步的随机对照试验，以进一步确定镁作为主观焦虑新疗法的疗效。
