You can find more information on my favorite topical magnesium, Ease Magnesium, in the bonus resource guide at sleepsmarterbook.com/bonus.

You can take a patented magnesium form called Magtein (like that offered by NOW Foods), which is designed to cross the blood-brain barrier more effectively,

sleep is your biggest issue, try an all-natural supplement like Dr. Kirk Parsley’s Sleep Remedy (docparsley.com), which contains magnesium and other micronutrients designed to promote deep, natural sleep.

He is a proponent of magnesium supplementation. Our ability to buffer magnesium with healthy kidneys is very high. He takes 600 to 800 mg per day, alternating between mag sulfate and mag oxide. He also takes calcium carbonate 2 times per week. Two of his favored brands are Jarrow Formulas and NOW Foods.

Personally, I take 2 g 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].” Another go-to recipe for sleep: glutamine and physician-prescribed probiotics (vary the brands) before bed.
