What form of magnesium?
- DrThunder 3y agoI use a powdered drink called 'Calm'. It's got a bit of a berry flavor to it. Start with a small amount though or you'll be shitting your pants. There are a lot of studies showing magnesium levels are far too low in people anyway so it's a good idea to supplement it.
- willseth 3y agoMagnesium glycinate is typically recommended, but any form that doesn't upset your stomach is probably good.
- TedDoesntTalk 3y agoMagnesium L-Threonate (a.k.a. magtein) supposedly crosses the blood-brain barrier better than any other form of magnesium.
- greenbush 3y agoI've read that Magnesium L-Threonate is better taken in the morning to help your brain function better during the day. So, I take this in the morning and Mg glycinate at night.
- leetrout 3y agoI currently use magnesium oxide in a tablet form (I use half a tablet, ~125mg). I have previously used magnesium glycinate but I don't remember what dose I used of that. I'll add, the mag oxide always prevents leg cramps when I take a full tablet (250mg) when I am working outside all day (and staying hydrated). ETA: In my experience magnesium citrate is the one mostly likely to cause diarrhea though they all can.
