Hi. Thanks for the information. I have to say that I'm quite surprised that it would be an agonist. I thought I remembered reading some threads here on NMDA antagonists, and Magnesium was listed. So, would you say that magnesium glycinate is a combination of an NMDA agonist and antagonist? I want to use magnesium primarily for the relaxation it provides at night.
