[QUOTE="Jon H, post: 185879, member: 6219"] The key to taking magnesium is knowing which type to take (what it's bound to). I'm absolutely not an expert on the subject, but made a crude chart based on a video (I think it was one of the Thomas DeLauer videos on Magnesium). I learned there's a ton of cheap versions that are sold as supplements that probably shouldn't be, and several that will give varying amounts of laxative effect. I've taken pretty high doses of Threonate at night, and never had any diarrhea. At the moment I usually take at least 1,000mg of a good quality magnesium glycinate with breakfast, and another 1,000mg at night. I've even taken additional during the afternoon, if I've sweat a lot and am going to work out, and I've never had any loose stools with glycinate. Others may have different opinions on what works for them, and would be much better experts on the different forms of minerals.
