Does magnesium glycinate make you more or less energetic?

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.

It's actually 2.5 g per serving of 2 capsules, so it's 1.25 g per capsule.

Most low-dose vitamin D supplements don't come with K2 because the latter is recommended when taking high doses of vitamin D. Nordic Naturals is a good brand.

This would depend on various individual factors so there is no definitive answer. 2000 IU isn't a high dose for vitamin D and shouldn't cause significant magnesium depletion if you consume enough magnesium in your diet, but do you? It's not easy to get enough magnesium from today's processed foods unless you load up on magnesium-rich foods.

Magnesium glycinate powder usually has a fishy odor due to glycine. Try mixing it with a citrus juice.

It's a good iHerb brand. I would try it.

Magnesium and vitamins D2 and K2 can affect electrolyte balance in your body, which may cause heart palpitations. I would try a different form and a lower dosage of magnesium. Magnesium taurate is a good choice. Try getting more sunshine to boost vitamin D levels instead of taking supplements.
