Glycinate and Taurinate are decent forms, but there's less elemental Magnesium in them, gram for gram, vs. other forms. You have to pop more pills per day of these to obtain the RDA. They are also not usually associated with laxative properties (Oxide and Citrate are notorious for that). If you want a product of Glycinate with minimal excipients (usually found in tablets) try the Doctors Best powder version, or the Pure Encapsulations capsules. Douglas Labs makes the Taurinate in tablet form (this form is rarely seen encapsulated) with minimal excipients. Again, you'll need like 4 horse pills a day to arrive at 400 mg elemental. These are expensive versions of Magnesium though, and you may do well with cheaper (more efficient) forms. I personally like the Chloride salt in liquid form, as it's very easy to ingest the RDA at once. You can find it from Liquimins-Trace brand, or Cardiovascular Reseach 18% solution Chloride/Acetate. I wonder though, of liquid versions disperse evenly, so shake it, and bake it.
Thanks for this. I'll try one of the liquid chlorides.
