Can mag citrate give me a headache? Googling has not given me a conclusive answer.
Low carbing never usually gives me a headache and that's the only thing I've changed. I've had one off and on for 24 hours. I've taken 300mg yesterday and 400 today.
What do you think?

I have been taking magnesium citrate for about 5 years. I've never noticed a headache from it.0

Google says Mg is good for headaches. Sinuses maybe? Spring has sprung.0

I've been taking it for a few weeks now, not gotten a headache from it but I do get a headache if I don't drink enough water.0

No problems for me either....0

Where are you from? It's raging pollen and thunderstorm season here. That affects me, especially changes in the weather.0

Possibly adding the magnesium has thrown off your sodium balance? They work in conjunction, right? (Unprofessional hypothesis)0

No problems for me, been taking 800mg @ day for 6ish months.
I hope this helps,

Thanks for all your insights guys, I'm still not certain what caused my head to explode, lol. Probably I'm catching a bug? Anyway, I'll keep going with the magnesium and keep you posted .0
