Recently started to take magnesium supplements, after some Googling and finding an old HN post about experiences around it, going for glyciate rather than oxide (latter was the only one I could find at pharmacies).

In 1 week I've yet to experience any of the positive effects often listed (maybe slightly better sleep?) bar one surprise: I don't wake up for bathroom visit anymore.

Used to wake up once a night for toilet visit, but that disappeared. Anyone have had similar experience? My (old) father have been complaining about 2-4 toilet visit per night and was wondering if I should suggest magnesium supplement to him, or if this is just placebo.

I've read that too much magnesium hinder Zinc uptake, so I assume blindly suggesting it to others might have adverse effects depending on lifestyle
