Have a read of this quote, I will provide the link at the bottom of the quote >
MAGNESIUM CHELATE
"The best forms of supplemental magnesium seem to be chelated to an amino acid (magnesium glycinate, magnesium taurate) or a krebs cycle intermediate (magnesium malate, magnesium citrate, magnesium fumarate). These forms seem to be better utilized, absorbed, and assimilated. Try to stay away from inorganic forms of magnesium like magnesium as chloride, carbonate or sulphate as they may not be absorbed as well and may cause gastric disturbanceAmino acid chelated minerals are more bioavailable than any other type of mineral. The absorption rates are three to six times greater than mineral salts and they have twice the retention and utilisation in the body. Through chelation, an amino acid claws onto, or binds to, a mineral. This enables that mineral to be absorbed through the gut wall.
Both taurine & magnesium stabilize cell membranes. Both exert sedative effects & inhibit the excitability of nerve cells throughout the central nervous system.”

I would think that magenesium and taurine supplementation would go well together. I'm not supplementing any calcium at the moment. Could anyone shine any light on whether I should? I know that Calcium and Magnesium are usually in a balanced ratio in supplements, so I would like to know if there's any long term effects of just taking Magnesium.
