Trying to choose supplements carefully

To get a daily dose close to 300mg magnesium glycinate/day, I use two brands: Qunol Extra Strength (420mg/2 capsules) and Doctor's Best High Absorption Magnesium Lysinate Glycinate which has 105mg in 2 capsules. I take one of the Qunol (210mg) and two of the Doctor's Best (105mg) to equal 315mg. The Doctor's Best does list silicon dioxide as an ingredient.

Thank you daisy17.
So you end up taking 3 tablets maybe just 2 of the qunol would suffice unless 420 is too much magnesium? I’m trying to simplify this routine and take the least amount of tablets as possible. Do you think 420 mg of magnesium is too much? Maybe that’s a dumb question since you take just enought to get 315mg 😍

Should I be using algae-based bone-building supplements in addition to other supplements e.g. Magnesium, D3 and I'm on Prolia? TYIA

My doctors, endocrinologist and geriatrician, allowed me to take strontium as well 340mg.

Thank you....but are you saying you are taking an algae-based supplement. I'm not familiar with strontium.

No. I got the idea from 2 studies that used strontium citrate, an element, found in soil. The studies suggested, and has been my experience, that strontium with other micronutrients help bone density.
One study was from Canada the other from Duchesne University in the US.

Thank you. I'll check into that!
