i like magnesium before bed as its the best thing to help me sleep, and its cheap. but what is the best form to take?
 
Taurate but it's not as cheap ;)
 
hmm, i always take my mag in the AM, maybe I'll switch. It really helps you sleep?

I take a topical magnesium oil that Mike Mahler promotes. Excellent stuff, it comes highly recommended
 
the mag oil is to pricey for me, ive looked into it before...unless the price dropped for servings per container. I know it helps dhea tho unlike reg mag.

And yes it does mike, my boss told me to try it since i was having sleeping issues since most ppl lack magnesium. She gave a huge speech tho. It in fact helps me sleep.
 
Glycinate, malate, citrate, taurinate are all good. I prefer orotate if you can find it. Google orotic acid.

It sure does mate, zink and magnesium.. I pop it every night just before I hit the bed... A cortisolinhibitor also helps me sleep better, deeper i guess, I don't wake up as much as I usually do..

Try it atleast, if it doesn't work for you, then switch back to your former schedule.. Remember to avoid calcium around that time...

Good post- from a formulation perspective, I like mag orotate and malate in terms of the effects in relation to the pathways both forms can trigger

From a mfg. perspective- magnesium stearate and mag carbonate are a couple favorites- stearate is a great lubricant for automatic encapsulators and tablet presses, plus it can slow disintegration/dissolution (think time-release). Mag carbonate is really good as well- we use it in most of our excipient blends- it is a really great lubricant, plus it has decent bioavaliability, so it makes for a good fit for products....

lmao, when you said zinc, it just clicked.. ZMA! haha
 
I love magnesium, it makes me sleep SO well, and keeps me from getting knots in my back from my job. I like the malate form because it's easily assimilated and the malic acid has health benefits. I saw some ionic magnesium drops at vitamin shoppe today that interested me. I haven't done any research yet on the ionic drops, but it looked interesting as well.
 
Natural Calm is my favorite. Fizzy, bubbly and it works FAST Gets rid of cramps fast, great for sore muscles.
 
its also a great laxative in large doses haha
