Magnesium Glycinate – Questions and Experiences

Posted by ella89 @ella89, 1 day ago

Hi everyone,

I’ve started taking magnesium glycinate from AOB Nutrition and have been using it to support sleep and stress. I’m curious to hear what’s worked for others:

What dosage do you find effective?
Do you take it at a specific time of day?
Have you noticed any side effects or differences between brands?
Are there other reliable sources you’d recommend?
Looking forward to your insights. Thanks!

Hi Ella89,
I don't know about the Magnesium you are taking, but I have been taking Triple Magnesium Complex for several years without any side effects. The Triple Magnesium has 400 mg of each different type of Magnesium -- Magnesium Oxide, Magnesium Citrate and Magnesium Aspartate. I don't remember, right now, which does what, but I know I take this at night about one hour prior to being ready to go to bed and it relaxes me and helps me to get a good sound sleep, and upon arising it also helps to keep my bowels regular, which I take some medication for stomach flare-ups that can really constipate. The third Magnesium helps with preventing the ungodly, painful charlie horses I get from time-to-time when working in the yard and not drinking enough or not getting enough electrolytes to keep things balanced in my body.
