I have ckd 3a and have had it for approx 15 years.

Any advice on magnesium supplements. I currently use a spray. I have heard magnesium Glycinate is the best one to take. Am I right in thinking one with zinc is also worth taking

why are you taking it? I started on magnesium for three reasons. One for leg cramps for dialyisis...did not work on that... two for sleep.... helps with that, and 3 for bowel movements but you have to take a lot for that I only take 200 mg.
