Have you Googled "magnesium glycinate without fillers" at all?

Not recommendations as I don't use this form but

5greens.co.uk/products/magn...

This one is clean and says 40% elemental magnesium which is 40% of 650g = 260mg elemental magnesium per capsule

Then there's Barefoot Nutrition with 20% elemental magnesium which gives 20% of 560g = 112mg elemental magnesium per capsule:

amazon.co.uk/Barefoot-Nutri...

Remember to check how much elemental magnesium is in the supplement, don't go by whatever it says, eg 800mg or 560mg etc. The usual recommended amount of elemental magnesium is 350-450mg daily. Take 4 hours away from thyroid meds and evening is recommended as magnesium is calming and you don't want to be sleepy if driving home from work etc.

Many thanks for you quick response SeasideSusie. All your information posted is super helpful and very informative. What would we do without people like you on this forum giving never ending support. I do appreciate it.

Thanks so much for the magnesium information. I read the recommended dose is 350-450 mgs of Magnesium Glycinate. Do you take one capsule daily?

5greens is the one that I take and it suits me fine. I like the fact that it's a clean natural product at a reasonable price.
