I find magnesium great - but I also like 5-HTP which I find also helps me sleep if I take it with a little food about 30 mins before bed. I find I feel a lot calmer when taking it - and it helps my ADHD - though I don't take it for too long, as I never like to take anything for too long.
Never taking a supplement for too long is great advice. Always cycle things in and out to avoid some potential for accumulating too much in the body.

There are some horrifying case studies where people took like too much zinc, or copper, or some other thing for years and got really really messed up.
