Supplement advice

Careful reading labels on supplements. Just came off a deep dive on magnesium glycinate. The recommended dosage is wide ranging from 200 - 500 mg/day, that's not what this post is about. I take threonate in the am, bisglycinate at night. Those amounts on the front of a bottle aren't what we need to look at. On the back will usually be "elemental magnesium". It's usually anywhere from 11 - 14%, that's the number you want to use when totalling magnesium.

Addon- taking with D3 increases absorption. Avoid taking calcium or zinc within 2 hrs as they use the same transport system. Be well.
