> I started taking 400mg magnesium glycinate a few days ago. I have been taking it in the morning. It seems that I have been sleepy all day long. Is this normal? Is this something that only happens with the glycinate?
Hi Scott,Mg does the same thing to me. Therefore, I take it at bedtime (or about 30 minutes before) then it serves a duel function. First, it is a great sleep aid and, second, I'm convinced that it facilitates improved brain functioning. Ramp up to about 1000 mg/day. Lower the dose temporarily if you get diarrhea and then try the higher dose again by ramping up more slowly. IMO, Mg is worthwhile.
Hey, a couple months ago you suggested that I consider adding a little SAM-e to my Enada NADH. Well I tried something very similar to your suggestion and it is working out quite well so far. Thanks for the suggestion! I will probably post something on this later, but the bottom line is that I added a daily dose of the methyl donor TMG and, so far, the results are good. Larry Hoover takes TMG (or betaine as he calls it) which is what caused me to do some further reading on it.
Hoover takes a bunch of other supplements that I also want to try. So I went to the nutritional store today (well I guess it was yesterday since it is now past midnight). Anyway, I spent a ton of my wife’s money and brought home the goods. I’ll try them one at a time until I figure out which one does what.
Best wishes Scotty.
