Mg bisglycinate apparently is a bit kinder on the body than other types. That's what I was recommended by my gym-dwelling sister.
I'm taking a tablet most days to supposedly aid recovery time. I've upped my mileage on the bike, and am on track to do about 3x as many miles as last year. (About 9 hours a week - am only really now taking it half-seriously tbh.)
Given the changes in mileage and fitness it's hard to gauge the effects, but it certainly doesn't seem to have had any ill-effects.
Subjectively: I find the tablets really big, dry, and hard to swollow - got one down windpipe (lung?) once and coughed it up a very uncomfortable 4 hours later. I found the trick is to take it with coffee! Also the tablets taste horrible!
could magnesium suplementation improve performance?

As they say there are many versions of mg, and there is a dose table. We should avoid oxide and go for at least glycinate or asparte, in which is used as ZMA. Am reloading /revisiting mg for my wife's 3rd pregnancy and am stocking back up from iherb.pdlpsher1 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 06, 2019 2:30 pm400mg.
I just started taking it after reading this thread. I do feel I sleep better at night including some crazy dreams. As far as any performance benefits on the bike it’s too early to judge. I suffer from leg cramps on long climbs but I haven’t done any long climbs lately. What I don’t like about it is the pooping part. It turns my poop into the shape of a big ball. It turns my bathroom trips into child-birth exercises Is anyone else having the same problem? Perhaps I should cut down my dose but all I have now are 400mg gel capsules.
