The amount of magnesium from the oxide is really really small.
I think you can still take your regular dose of glycinate + one of the oxide. The amount absorbed from a 400mg dose of Oxide is about 8mg.(studies measuring blood levels have shown the % absorbed from Oxide) As long as you have normal kidney functions (ask your doctor), it should not be a problem. You do not have to reduce the glycinate form, unless your doctor tells you to.
