[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 146828, member: 18023"] I had always thought Remag was the best form of magnesium, though I have never taken it. However, Magtein magnesium l-threonate has been proven to be the only form of magnesium to cross the blood brain barrier and increase brain levels of magnesium. They are both expensive. But based on studies, I would say Magtein is "better" because of the increase in brain levels. I haven't really tried to take 3 caps of Magtein, the recommended daily dose before bed, I will give it a try. I tend to take 1-2 caps a day along with a cheaper magnesium complex. Mostly I take Mg to prevent muscle cramps. Though I think very cheap forms like mg oxide will also work, it isn't highly absorbable, but take enough for long enough it will likely work for most people. Not for sleep, just to raise cellular / serum levels of Mg. BTW, we likely all know that serum levels of Mg isn't a good indication of cellular levels. melatonin half life is 20-50 min, so suppressing it before bed only affects going to sleep, not sleep maintenance. I don't have a problem going to sleep, it's sleep maintenance that a problem. Now getting on a forum, internet, chat, whatever [I]COULD [/I]cause some level of stress which could cause one to wake up during sleep. I have had times where I wake up thinking about some conversation, debate, controversy that occurred right before going to bed. Even my wife bringing up something important in bed as we are going to sleep can disturb my sleep because I end up dwelling on it and it wakes me up. For her, maybe it helps her because she is thinking about it and "hands it off" to me and her part is "done". [/QUOTE]
