Oh for fucks sake, the amount of mental energy people spend talking about supplements.

You could spend half this amount for a bottle that contains six times the number of servings and just take two a day. There ya go. There's your "bioavailability" problem solved.

Nutritional supplements have to rank near the top of marketplaces with the absolute highest amount of irrational behaviors.

NOW Foods Supplements, Magnesium Glycinate 100 mg, Highly Absorbable Form, 180 Tablets $16.77 ($0.09 / Count)

Compare to my cheapo alternative. 9 cents per 100 mg. Over a dollar per day seems spendy for a single vitamin, but the marketing does make it sound pretty gnarly.

At least 80% of the ingredients come from Switzerland – in our case it is even more.
These ingredients come from our contractual partners in Switzerland, some even directly from the farm, such as our colostrum.
In contrast to "Made in Switzerland", "Swiss made" is subject to Swiss federal regulations. Strict regulations such as GMP, HACCP and freedom from genetic engineering are a matter of course for us as a Swiss manufacturer.

They do talk a good pitch. Maybe it really is good.

Or searching for Magnesium Complex finds a bunch like this. I don't know that you need 8 different forms of magnesium, but this one has it. Not an endorsement of this particular brand... But it is 5x less expensive than the swiss version.

Just buy a bucket of Calm from Costco, it's a regular item and 10x cheaper for you you get. " bioavailability" hahaha, sure.

Assuming you absorb the same percentage of magnesium in all forms from Magnesium citrate, Magnesium glycinate, Magnesium oxide, Magnesium malate.

Retards like you is precisely why I post less now. Most users are sick of arguing incessantly with halfwits.

Also just stop taking supplements and eat a balanced diet, Mg supplementation inhibits VitD, impairs K and competes with Zn pathways.

Fuck everyone in this thread.
