Lulu_65 Different forms of magnesium do different things and as we all have different needs what suits one doesn't necessarily suit another. For example, I am fine with mag citrate but it can have a laxative effect which might be a problem for someone else.

This is a good article on the different forms and should help with your choice:

Thank you. I can see it's been widely discussed.

I had no idea either that it needs to be taken at night.

Many thanks
