Magnesium glycinate

If your kidneys are healthy, they will excrete overabundances of elements like Mg. The formulation doesn't matter because the liver and kidneys, not to mention other cells that need the Mg, will strip what they want/need and let the rest pass by in the blood stream. What matters is that you do supplement if you're not getting it from food. So, taking it in smaller doses is okay, but largely unnecessary. You can take the single pill if it's more convenient to do that, and it will be safe to do so once in every 24 hours.

The various formulations have some efficacy specificity, meaning they are better for some conditions than others, although the evidence is not hugely strong. The citrate formulation is the most easily absorbed, and it's dirty cheap. Just watch how much it takes to get your bowels moving so much that it becomes a problem; the citrate formula has that side-effect. I have taken citrate, bis-glycinate, and malate formulations, none with any detectable side-effects.

I assume you have a PVCs problem? Are you being treated by a cardiologist and or electrophysiologist (EP)?

Have they discussed the degree of PVCs with you and the burden? In your discussion with EP most likely advised you PVCs are very common. What they are are additional electrical signals. So if you are having a lot of them on continusous basis can affect heart. It can signal a heart diseaser issure or an electrical system system issue. Mine came from and is called cardiomyopathy and was cause by a virus getting into heart and causing scar tissue. This came from my EP and how they determined that through all the testing they did.

My experience with magnsium. I see a EP at Mayo Jacksonville. When my PVCs started going up really high my EP did not want to start with ablation and recommended 400mg or Magnesium Citrate. Why that form I asked? Answer was highly absorable but if causing digestive issues the Glycimate is also highly absorbable.

What best way to take all at once or piecemeal I did not asked but can. I take in throughout day to meet my 400 mg. For me it did not work and was put on a medication that really brought my PVCs down dramatcially and also the radom episode of non sustained tachyacardia.

I take Magnesium daily. I asked my cardiologist after I studies options online that might help with suppressing A-fib episodes. I have had no side effects; all she did was check the magnesium level before I started.

@gloaming what dosage?
