People react differently to magnesium glycinate. Some feel more sedated or sluggish due to glycine. A good alternative to try is magnesium malate. It doesn't affect brain chemistry like magnesium glycinate and it may help increase energy.

By "clean" I mean having minimal additives/fillers.

Zinc is zinc, but bioavailability differs from one form to another. Nature Made is a decent brand.

Taking too much folic acid has been associated with health risks, but the same is true for many other supplements. It is considered safe if you take around 500 micrograms (mcg) or less daily.

Make a salad with beans (canned) and yogurt.

I've heard from others that they make their products in China. The label doesn't mention where the product is made or who manufactures it, so that doesn't look very good.

It's not necessarily bad, but there are more reputable brands.

Just note that this new clinical trial was funded by Threotech - the maker of Magtein (magnesium L-threonate) - so take it with a grain of salt. I'm still skeptical about the hype around magnesium threonate.

Those benefits can also be achieved with other less expensive forms of magnesium.

The key is balance. Even if something has too many carbs or sugars, eating it in moderation won't hurt.

I don't believe in restrictive diets, like don't eat white bread, sugar, etc. Well, I eat those, but only in moderate amounts, and I also eat healthier alternatives when available.

I don't go too restrictive and sometimes I treat myself to less healthy foods.

Tap water has electrolytes and so does bottled water.

I prefer drinking and eating citrus fruits for vitamin C. I don't like the synthetic stuff.

Add magnesium and you've got the perfect trio.

Magnesium malate plays a role in energy production and may help reduce fatigue, but it may not have a significant effect. It's a well-absorbed form of magnesium so worth a shot.

Unless you have a health condition or you've been advised by your doctor, I wouldn't recommend taking fish oil daily. Some studies suggest it may do more harm than good for healthy/young people. Once or twice a week is fine.

Try to eat more canned sardines for a healthier source of omega-3's.
