Kick Depression in 2 Weeks?!?

Dear Living Well Daily Reader,
Being on an antidepressant can make you feel like you’re going through life on a half-charged battery — everything you do takes twice as much energy and time.
And to make things worse, these costly and risky drugs can take months to start working.
Fortunately, it looks like you may not have to use these dangerous drugs much longer…
Because researchers from the University of Vermont have just found that a powerful mineral can help you fight depression naturally.
And believe it or not, it starts working in just two weeks, has no side effects and is dirt-cheap.
I’m talking about magnesium, and it’s been helping folks keep healthy bones and fight off migraines for years.
But it was unclear if magnesium could help relieve depression… until now.
In a recent study, researchers focused on a group of 126 adults in their fifties who were suffering from mild-to-moderate depression. Some got 248 mg of magnesium and some didn’t.
And after just two short weeks, the participants in the magnesium group saw significant improvements in depression and anxiety symptoms.
Even better, they experienced ZERO side effects.
Researchers believe magnesium is so effective against depression because it combats inflammation — one of the key drivers of all diseases.
Magnesium supplements are easily found at your local pharmacy. You can get a 100-day supply for about $4.50.
Quick, safe depression relief for just pennies a day? Sounds like a winner to me.
Live well,
