A member asked:
What type of magnesium (i.e., oxide vs glycinate) is good for sleep and at what dose for a 59 year old woman?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I'm under the impression that the advantage of the glycinate is less propensity to cause diarrhea but no difference as a sleep aid. Both forms can suppress muscle cramps and act on nervous system regulation.
