I didn't know where else to post this, so I posted it here. I want to get magnesium, but don't want to get the kind that causes diarreah. What are the good kinds. Not the brands but their actual names... say like magnesium oxide.

The “Recommended Daily Allowance”, or RDA, for Magnesium in the United States is approximately:

400 mg per day for men
300 mg per day for women

I use magnesium glycinate (albion) myself. I'm not sure if the glycine form is best or not, but albion chelates are supposedly better absorbed.

I like Calcium Citrate and Magnesium Malate. I take the Magnesium on a daily basis, and the Calcium only once or twice per week. I also like to take Vitamin K2 to help all calcium, whether ingested from food or supplements, to go to the bones and not the arteries.
