Anyone here take magnesium citrate?

Is this a supplement that takes getting used to? I just started taking 400mg/day a couple of days ago and feel kind of tense on it. I also had insomnia but it wasn’t as bad last night. I decided to cut down on the amount to see if there is any difference.

Thanks!

I take 350mg along with calcium. Not sure if I notice anything much really, but you’re supposed to take it when you take calcium so I do. I take a number of other things though as well, but I don’t get any negative effect from the magnesium.

Magnesium Citrate is poorly absorbed, Magnesium Sulphate, such as epson salts, can be added to bath water and is easily absorbed through the skin.

I take it. It should not cause insomnia, it may help with it.

At that dose, you probably won’t get any side effects, but diarrhea is a side effect you can get at high doses.

It’s important to note that the diarrhea is caused because magnesium is a metal, and taking too much of it can be toxic to your body.

I take magnesium taurate everyday. It has done wonders.
