Which form of magnesium for pvc's? Taurate? Glycinate?

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.

These peer-reviewed studies used--& suggest support for the use of, IV-administered magnesium sulfate and/or magnesium citrate: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34950320/ & https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8269653/
IV-administration of any intervention/therapy is not practical (for just about anyone I know).
For my part & in my reading...primarily of non-peer-reviewed literature (there's nothing I can find on PubMed directly investigating and/or documenting the use of magnesium taurate to address arrhythmias) such as this: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/types-of-magnesium#for-specific-conditions...I have been using & have had some success in reducing the frequency & duration of my C19 vaccine-caused incident atrial fibrillation by taking (3 capsules daily of 500 mg each)...magnesium taurate (among all the other lifestyle intervetions I have undertaken).
However, there is this somewhat relevant study using magnesium taurate (in a rat model) to attenuate progression of hypertension: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30963046/.
It's highly, highly unlikely that the overwhelming majority of American cardiologists will be in a position to make an evidence-based recommendation differentiating between different forms of magnesium supplementation.
It's far more likely to find clinicians in other specialties, e.g., Naturopathy, Osteopathy, or Nutrition, to be in a position to advise about nutrition, including & especially supplementation--including supplementation with different forms of magnesium, to address & support the management of arrhythmias...through diet & supplementation--& other lifestyle interventions.
We must remember that American medical-school education typically provides an average of... 4 hours of coursework (over the course of 4 years of medical school, which is characterised by two years of brute memorisation followed by two years of sleep deprivation)...in nutrition. And it's extremely unlikely that American medical school graduates ever obtain additional education or experience in nutrition in their residencies.
Net-net: American physicians, irrespective of their specialties, are not well-suited to advise clients/patients on nutrition, including supplementation.
