Magnesium taurate vs glycinate

When my EP recommended magnesium did not give me a time frame. I hope this is appropriate for us on MCC but I went on Microsoft Co-Pilot (A.I.) and got the below information. At the end of A.I. on Co-Pilot it gives the scientific or medical institutions of where the information comes from.

Heck I just learned more about when to take it myself. A.I. response below.

Here’s a clear, evidence‑grounded way to think about when magnesium tends to work best for people who take it to help with PVCs, based on what the research and expert commentary actually support.
🕒 What the evidence says about timing
None of the sources provide a strict “best time of day,” but they do give clues about absorption, tolerance, and symptom patterns that help guide timing:
• Magnesium’s effect on heart rhythm is tied to steady blood levels, not a quick spike.
(Magnesium stabilizes ion flow in heart cells and supports potassium movement.)
• Some people report that magnesium seems to “wear off” after several hours, with PVCs returning later in the day (anecdotal reports from PVC forums).
• Many people avoid taking magnesium late at night because certain forms can affect sleep or cause GI upset (again from user reports).
⭐ Practical timing guidance (based on physiology + user patterns)
These patterns are consistent with how magnesium is absorbed and tolerated:
1. Split dosing is usually the most stable
Taking magnesium twice daily (morning + late afternoon) keeps levels more even through the day.
This matches anecdotal reports where PVCs return in the evening when magnesium is only taken in the morning.
2. Avoid bedtime if it disrupts your sleep
Some people find magnesium calming, but others—especially with taurine or citrate—report sleep disruption.
If you’re sensitive, keep your last dose before 6–7 PM.
3. Take it with food if you use citrate or oxide
These forms can cause loose stools.
Chelated forms (glycinate, taurate) are gentler and can be taken with or without food.
4. If your PVCs are worse at a specific time of day
Time your dose 1–2 hours before your usual PVC “window.”
This aligns with how long it takes magnesium to peak in the bloodstream.

I am take magnesium glycinate, I started it for my horrendous sciatica pain but I noticed an extra benefit, the ectopic heart beats became less. I take it daily, 1 after lunch and 2 after dinner, it has helped me, I still have them but not as much. It also helps me to sleep better.

@jc76 wow great info.
Thanks
