What are the differences between magnesium citrate vs oxide? which will work better with stimulant medication?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
They are different : Salts of magnesium. The magnesium citrate may be absorbed a little better, but if you take too much of either one, you might end up with loose stools. So talk with your PCP about which one S/he recommends for you to take right now.
