I have been supplementing my diet daily with about half of the RDA of Magnesium glycinate for over 2 years now on the advice of a MD friend. He said “don’t worry about all that BS regarding sodium in your diet, the problem is you don’t have enough Magnesium.”
Ever since I started taking it my BP has gone from “borderline” or “high” to 120/70. All my life my BP has been “borderline high”. No longer. That is the only change I have made in my diet to speak of and no change in exercise or aerobic activity. But I do add an olive to meals sometimes just so I can say “I am eating a Mediterranean diet” heh heh
There you have it. The Glycinate version is more assumable than the citrate version with less gastro side effects.
