How much is proper amount to correct magnesium defiecienccy? Hairanalysis showed severe deficiency in magnesium, calcium, lithium and boron. Aminoacid analysis showed severe deficiency in tryptophan - no wonder I am depressed! Other symptoms are; insomnia, irritability, fatique, lack of motivation, lack of concentration, social phobia etc....
Now I am taking enzymes, probiotics+b-vit, L-tryptophan 600mg/day, magnesiumglycinate 600mg/day, Evening primrose oil 300mg/day, zinc 15-30mg/day. Am I taking too little? Should I take bigger amounts?

Have you tried adding DL-phenylalanine or tyrosine along with your tryptophan? Other vitamins that may be helpful are vitamins B12, B6, B1, vitamin C and vitamin E. Also, if you can tolerate it, a complete mineral supplement may be helpful. Country Life is a good brand. It's all a matter of trial and error. Good luck!

that sounds like a good amount of magnesium.
