Magnesium
I think the best magnesium out there is magnesium threonate, if I were to pick one. But I prefer taking different chelates. So I use glycinate, I use orotate.
If you look at the physiology behind it, and there’s a lot of good research that’s really easy to find, every form of magnesium tends to go to a specific tissue.
So for example:
Magnesium glycinate has a preference for liver and muscle tissue;
Magnesium orotate tends to work more in the vascular system.
Magnesium threonate is more of a GABA inducer, therefore it improves sleep.
Personally, I take 2g of magnesium threonate at the last meal before going to bed, and I use various forms of chelates like magnesium glycerophosphate from GabaMag [made by Trilogy Nutritional Supplements]. - Charles-Poliquin
Notes on magnesium
This was one of the first supplements recommended to me when I was signed up for Life Force.
Magnesium particularly Threonate is both in Tim Ferris's Supplement List as well as Andrew Huberman's supplement list.
