make sure you're not taking a magnesium supplement at the same time as a stimulant medication. magnesium changes the acidity of your gut and can drastically affect the way your body metabolizes stimulants. if you take a stimulant in the morning, it's okay to take magnesium at night, you just don't want them running into each other in your gut essentially.

Where do I get magnesium?

[-] pelletbucket@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago

pills. the cheapest ones are magnesium oxide, the best ones are magnesium glycinate. don't take magnesium citrate, it'll make you shit your pants
