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

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

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.

1 oz serving of pumpkins seeds works well.

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.

I have issues with both.

This!

I take this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0B6CTYD6S?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

I take the New Chapter magnesium + ashwagandha supplement.

I've been taking Nature Made magnesium 250 mg daily for years.

I use Pure Encapsulation Mag glycinate, it is pure. Others are mixed.

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.

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

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!
