I take magnesium before bed, I find it to be relaxing and helps me fall asleep, but have had varied results depending on the type of magnesium used.
- calm brand magnesium, which is magnesium citrate. While that form calms me so much that I’m knocked out to sleep, I tend to wake up later in the night and have a hard time falling back asleep.
- After hearing about it being the best form from Peaters, I tried magnesium glycinate. When taking this before bed I get almost a histamine like reaction, feel very wired and unable to fall asleep for hours. Tried it a few times. This also happens to be when I try to take gelatin right before bed so I’m guessing something is happening with glycine, which I don’t understand.
-Trader Joe’s brand magnesium capsule which is magnesium oxide, citrate, and magnesium amino chelate. This is the best form so far, it calms me enough to help me sleep but I don’t have any side effects or wakefulness later at night.
Has anyone else experienced this, or have any clue to the mechanism causing such varied results?
