Depends on the form of Mg too. Mg Sulfate, as in Epsom Salts is not well
absorbed so draws water into the intestines resulting in loose stool.
Other forms such as Mg HCl or Mg Oxide are more absorbable and will not
have as much of a laxative effect.
Any calcium magnesium supplement will make you sleepy so best taken at
bedtime, but if you need it take it and don't wait for one time of day.
Mg is plentiful in almonds, cashews and leafy greens if you want to add
more to your diet.
Also if you increase Silicon in your diet by eating more foods that
contain it you will increase absorption and utilization of Ca and Mg.
Onions, particularly raw, are high in Si as well as whole grains and the
herbs Nettles, Oat Straw and
Food based forms of minerals when consumed in balance are 90% more
effectively absorbed. I use my money differently after 30 years of
playing around with supplements. I can buy organic or locally grown
produce that is so much more nutrient dense than commercial produce with
the money that I no longer spend on supplements that are not well
absorbed. Even chelated minerals are not as well absorbed as food based.
I grow green herbs in the summer and eat a lot of those as well as dark
leafy greens.

For most folks it seems than magnesium taken before bed time will solve
the problem. Mg is usually dosed "to bowel tolerance". That means you
start out with one or two tablets and work up till your bowels get too
loose. Of, you need to watch your diet. Cut out the sugars and processed
foods.

I might have restless leg syndrome (or at least that appears to be
my kind of symptom). Does anyone have any insight or help regarding
this?
