I am taking Doctors Best Brain Magnesium, 1200 mg, or 8 capsules per day, because it is the "best deal" so far. But I'd also like to ramp it higher.

The issues: it is a pain to take so many capsules and it is getting expensive.

Is there an alternative to Mag Threonate that will be just as bioavailable, with fewer capsules and less cost? Can this be written as a prescription?
