Hi franko, I've heard that magnesium has a relaxing effect to it so it's best to take at night. HOWEVER, I take mine in the morning, lol. I guess if you have a hard time sleeping then try taking it at night.

 

Hello Franko,

A lot depends on how much and what form of magnesium you are taking. Magnesium sulfate (Epsom Salt) is given as a magnesium supplement and as a laxative and magnesium hydroxide is used as an antacid or laxative.

There are other forms of magnesium a person can take, but regardless, IF IT WERE ME and considering the potential for the need to make a quick trip to the bathroom I would take it in the morning before breakfast.

Of course, as always, your doctor is your best source for information on when and how to take any medicine.

Good luck

I take a calcium/magnesium supplement. I take it on a full stomach after dinner. No problems or side effects.
