I've tried many supplements and narrowed it down to B6 and magnesium. B12 had no effect.

Insomnia can of course manifest itself through many causes, but taking energy drinks would definitely help very few. B12 is something the body stores so your lifestyle and diet must be quite shit to have a deficiency.

Magnesium and B6 on the other hand you can become deficient very quickly.




This makes sense when you consider the role that magnesium has in the body - it's involved in a lot of reactions, either directly or as a cofactor.

In fact, ATP exists typically as MG-ATP in the body.

Severe Deficiency is rare (or rarely diagnosed i should say) because the body maintains serum magnesium levels at the expense of skeletal mg.
