My doctor recommended magnesium for improved sleep and muscle functioning. Said any OTC version would do.
If you use magnesium supplements, can you recommend a brand/source? Choices at the store and online are overwhelming and vary wildly in price for what seems to be the same dosage. Any reason the $40 version is better than the $7 version? Thanks in advance for your recs! |

| Personally, if I do mag citrate, will have diarrhea next day. Mag glycinate is much better. |

| I use Country Life Magnesium capsules. It’s a mix of 4 different types of magnesium. I prefer the capsules — as opposed to caplets or other forms. A bottle with 120 capsules costs around $15 at Whole Foods. |

| Magnesium citrate powder is the only one that affects muscle soreness for me. The others in capsule form have no effect. You might need to try a few and see what works for you. |

Not all mags are the same.
Do not take magnesium oxide - worst of them all. I have tried citrate and glycinate. For me, neither gives me GI issues. I buy Kirkland costco brand. |

I take magnesium threonate from Jigsaw and magnesium glycinate Sprouts store-brand.
The Jigsaw pill size is easy for my kids to swallow. |

2 ounces would be a whole days RDA! What a great idea. No supplements needed. |
