Each question starts with a HealthUnspoken researched answer, then grows through reader participation.
Magnesium may make some people feel relaxed or sleepy, depending on the dose, form, timing, and their own sensitivity. Vitamin D is not usually taken as a sedative, but supplement routines can still affect how someone feels, especially if doses are high or combined with other medicines. Too much magnesium can cause diarrhea and, at very high levels or with kidney problems, more serious effects. If sleepiness started after a new supplement, pause and review the dose, timing, and medical conditions with a clinician or pharmacist.
