So I was taking magnesium glycinate and I noticed that it makes me thirsty 30 mins after taking it and it happened every single time and then I got some headaches after. I tried magnesium malate and I had the same exact thing going on. I don’t know why this is happening I think it’s causing a major electrolyte shift and I can’t figure out what it is. Does anyone know what it could be? Before taking magnesium I would drink water and then I would drink water with sodium lite salt which is a mix of sodium and potassium. I still noticed the physical relaxation feeling with the magnesium, but I really don’t want my electrolytes to be thrown off. When I was taking magnesium I took 400mg then I dropped down to 200mg and I still got the same mild headache and strong sensation of thirst. I also do intermittent fasting 16-20 hours a day
