Mg citrate is good, but I found it to be one of the more diarrhea-inducing types, as opposed to mg malate, which I like better, but maybe that's just me.

I took some progesterone, after all the hype about it, but it was the wrong thing for my body type. At least I could just discontinue it and feel better. You are stuck for 3 months or longer.

>JL,
Why do you like the Mg malate best? I was looking on iHerb.com to order Mg taurate and I was surprised to see that they don't carry it at all. Also, have you tried any sustained-release versions? I hear that's a good way to take it.
