I've been using magnesium citrate and I noticed my magnesium level is at the lower end of normal.  Should I be taking magnesium oxide instead?  Or both?

Mag citrate to help with calcium absorption. You might try to add a dose with each calcium dose if you aren't already. Mag oxide to help you poo and that's about it. Vitalady says you can't get too much mag citrate. :)

Good to know.  I'll start adding one with each calcium dose.  Thanks!  I knew you would know.
