The one I’m taking currently is magnesium oxide, which I now see is generally less absorbed, but it does help me relax within about a half hour after I take it, and I’ve been sleeping really well with it. (I take one 200 mg L-theanine capsule with it, and I’m telling you, my sleep has never been better. I also listen to an amazing sleep meditation on YouTube; it’s phenomenal.)

I bought this bottle while away on a trip because I forgot it at home, so I think tomorrow I’ll make the switch to glycinate. My rheumatologist told me calcium citrate is best for bones, as the citrate helps with absorption, but citrate in the past has come with some intestinal upset for me, so I’m going to go the glycinate way.

I’m glad you asked the question so that I could check. 😂 I didn’t think to before. My rheumatologist didn’t tell me to add magnesium; I did that on my own and just didn’t pay any mind.

@beachesanddreams I am taking Mg L Threonate. I only take 1 at night, although the suggested serving is three 144 mg capsules. My MG was tested a few weeks ago and was in the mid range of adequate. No intestinal upset or poops.
