Interesting approach.to hum moderation- magnesium is very important for nerves and hormone balance, via support for Adrenals and Thyroid. Normally well tolerated -and in many foodstuffs, too. Reputed to have a good anti-anxiety effect. Many people are low in it- about 12% of pop. in the US, for instance. I shall keep this doseage in mind as I'm already using it in lower amounts - & hoping tinnitus could reduce also. Frustrating that such a long time lag is involved with cure [and return of hum], some tedious trials must have occurred here!
