To leverage the various types of magnesium, you can capitalize on their benefits by rotating it in the following manner:
Morning: Malate
Take an energy-boosting magnesium in the morning with breakfast.
Dinner: Glycinate Take digestion- and relaxation-promoting magnesium with a meal.
Bedtime: Citrate
A magnesium that specifically helps with constipation is used as needed for symptom relief and to help keep you regular during long periods of sitting and dehydration – like when you’re traveling.
The U.S. RDA for adults over age 30 is 320 mg (women) to 420 mg (men) each day. In reality, many women and medical conditions may require higher doses of magnesium. Some may need more; some may do fine on less.
Here is a simple method for you to find out how much magnesium you need.
To know if you need a higher dose, try the “bowel tolerance test” described below. Note, this test should be done using magnesium glycinate.
This means you go up in doses every two days until your stool becomes loose. Some women are so depleted (stress and sugar are common magnesium robbers) that they need as much as 1200 mg per day to replenish their reserves. Once you get a loose stool, back off to a lower dose.
Here is an example and a hypothetical situation:
Day 1 – 300 mg per day – regular stool or constipation
Day 2 – 300 mg per day – regular stool or constipation
Day 3 – 600 mg per day (300 mg in the morning and 300 mg at night) – regular stool or constipation
Day 4 – 600 mg per day (300 mg in the morning and 300 mg at night) – regular stool or constipation
Day 5 – 900 mg per day (600 mg in the morning and 300 mg at night) – regular stool or constipation
Day 6 – 900 mg per day (600 mg in the morning and 300 mg at night) – loose stool
Day 7 – Back off to 600 mg per day (300mg in the morning and 300 mg at night) to go back to regular stool.
Continue taking 600 mg of magnesium glycinate per day until you develop loose stool, then back off again. If not, stay on this dose. Magnesium is one nutrient I recommend taking long-term. In times of stress, you may need to increase the dose.
But many women need a higher magnesium intake than the RDA – particularly if they have genetic issues, conditions like thyroid autoimmune disease or problems like stress, that are robbing them of magnesium.
So, to settle on the best dose of magnesium you need to listen to what feels right for your body. If you overdo it, the biggest impact you might experience is loose stool and then you will know to reduce your daily intake. Some people require as much as 2000 mg to replenish.
Magnesium Replenish is the most bioavailable form of magnesium. This means the magnesium is easily and quickly absorbed and used by the body to address magnesium deficiencies.
If you consider yourself to have a sensitive digestive system, consider starting with 1 capsule and slowly increasing to the full dose over time. Magnesium Citrate can be taken at any time of day. You may find you can decrease the dose if you are experiencing regular loose bowel movements.

DO YOU SHIP TO CANADA, THE UK, AUSTRALIA OR OTHER COUNTRIES?
Unfortunately, at this point we only ship to the United States. This is due to the ever-evolving international laws surrounding supplements.
There are forwarding companies like MyUS.com, that will forward orders to you in your country for a fee.
In this case, it is the customer's responsibility to find out in advance if the supplement in question is legal in their country. For example, Progesterone and DHEA are not legal to ship into Canada (Canada classifies bio-identical hormones as drugs so they can only be prescribed by a doctor or naturopath).
We have had customers successfully ship their supplements abroad using MyUS.com, however we have only limited experience with this service.
WHY DOES SHIPPING COST $11.45?
For small businesses like ours, the shipping fee covers the very real costs of getting your order to you: shipping, handling, packaging, warehousing, insurances, and fairly compensating all the people involved along the way. We do our best to keep this shipping cost as low as possible, and offer FREE shipping for orders $97 and above.
WHY DOES MY SUBSCRIPTION ORDER INCLUDE $11.45 SHIPPING?
If you set up a subscription order and notice that you are being charged shipping, it could be due to one of these reasons:
1. Your order value is under $97
2. Your initial order qualifies for free shipping, but the order frequency on your subscriptions is different ( 1 product is set to ship every month, the other is set to ship every 2 months).
*The system automatically splits this kind of order into 2 separate shipments.
In this case it is more economical to set up one subscription every 2 months, and to increase your quantity to 2 units of the supplement that you consume monthly.
For example: 2 Vitamin B6 + 1 Essential Omegas every 2 months = free shipping.
