Hello @cgg, Welcome to Connect. It can be kind of frustrating looking for the best supplement with the best bioavailability. There are a lot of companies out there with a lot of advertising that you can't always depend on for what the real truth is on which is the best for certain conditions. When I'm looking for something specific, I first discuss it with my doctor or pharmacist to see if they have any thoughts or suggestions. I don't really have a good answer for your question but here are two sources that lean toward getting the magnesium through diet along with the reasoning. I thought the second article was an advertisement but it really goes through the reasoning and how your body breaks down and absorbs magnesium, that and I like that it's written by a "skeptical" cardiologist.

Has your doctor recommended a magnesium supplement?

Thanks John! I read your links. Some folks in this group have said their pvc's were helped by Mg, and I am taking a PPI daily, and have been for a year, A side effect is decreased Mg. My serum Mg was low side of normal, but that test not a reliable test of your 'true' Mg level. My Dr. did not prescribe taking Mg.. He conferred with a cardiologist re: my week-long heart monitor results of 1000 pvc's/day and almost as many pac's/ day. He increased my beta blocker 2 weeks b4 the monitor, but it didn't and hasn't helped. Cardio told my GP he "was doing everything right" but to make a cardio appt. to discuss things. I was told "nothing to worry about" . Appt. With cardio not til late May!! Meanwhile, I am miserable when I'm having them which can be a good part of the day. Knowing this is normal doesn't help the discomfort. I don't want to live like this the rest of my life.
I appreciate your feedback and sending the links! Thank you.
