A form of magnesium that is more gentle on the digestive system is called magnesium glycinate. I buy it from Swanson health products.

Yes, important to get a magnesium complex, not the grocery store mag oxide (poorly absorbed and “goes right through you.)

Yeah, don't use oxide. I use the same product Kathy uses. Mag and Vit D are the two most common nutritional deficiencies nearly everyone should supplement.

And, I found out recently that an adequate magnesium level is required for the body to be able to use Vit. D… so folks with low D, be aware the mega doses of D the doc prescribes may not be the whole answer.

I can’t take oxide or citrate either one. They both go through me.
