   I am adding a magnesium supplement to my daily vitamins. What kind is preferable- elemental, citrate, malate, aspartate, etc? I always get confused when I try to pick one out.

   Personally, I like the granulated one, citrate, I believe. They sell it in powder form with orange, lemon & lemon-raspberry. I mix it with water at night and it helps with sleep and you can drink extra for more regularity (although, if I am truly Primal, that is not an issue).

   I was also looking into the chelated cal-mag supplements and thought that looked good. I personally settled on a cal-mag w/ vit D, since I need more D anyway.

   I probably didn't really answer your question, but based on personal experience, the citrate worked best for me.

   I also take calcium.D.mag combo. What exactly is mag good for? I noticed via Fitday that I was low on it, which is why I take the supplement.

   Bee pollen is apparently a good source. I just started taking/learning about it.

   Most of us are deficient in mag, D and Omega 3's.

   Magnesium keeps our calcium leaching and calcification in check.

   thanks for the advice, sassy. I defo need anything that will help in the sleep department.

   PJAP- I think mag is supposed to help with migraines, pms, heart disease, diabetes, depression, etc.

   m- thanks for that link on bee pollen.
