I had bought magnesium but have been afraid to take it, thinking that it would cause GI distress which has forever plagued me. Maybe I can start with the tiniest amount...
It's interesting that metformin depletes B12. Hope to get a better tolerated diabetes drug soon.

Yes you can start slowly, and take your supplement with food. That helps. And AVOID magnesium oxide, which is basically a laxative.
You can do what I do, and try to get your magnesium from foods. Almonds are very high.. 3 oz have 270mg!
Navy beans, Edamame (soy), oatmeal, yogurt, figs, etc are pretty good sources.
