Mag citrate & food: Magnesium salt which are absorbed maximum- citrate,glycinate,aspartate & taurate Magnesium oxide is poorly absorbed. Take magnesium rich foods- avocado,banana,spinache,cashew,almonds,dark chocolate,tofu,pumpkin seeds,sunflower seeds,beans,brown rice & molasses. Magnesium is vital for body- responsible for 400 cellular reactions.
