Challenges in the diagnosis of magnesium status

Re:Challenges in the diagnosis of magnesium status by kossTKR on Sunday June 27, 2021 @07:01PM (#27656277)

How much magnesium are we talking about here?

I actually have magnesium in my supplement drawer : "Magnesium Carbonate from natural sources" - it says take 2 grams, max 4 grams and let it "sit in cold water for 10 minutes, or warmer water for 10 seconds" before drinking.

Is that the range you are taking and is the l-threonate form much better, ie. is carbonate useless?

Interested in trying this out later this night..

The l-threonate works better for sleep. I take two 50mg tablets per day. In addition I take 400 to 600mg of "magnesium lysinate glycinate chelate" per day to help with muscles.

Thanks this is really helpful information. In your experience, is it a waste of time taking magnesium oxide for sleep?
