Can I take 60 and Magnesium glycinate together?

Why this happens

Magnesium is a 'divalent cation', which means it can bind to other drugs in the digestive tract (a process called chelation), preventing them from entering the bloodstream. It also has a mild relaxing effect on the nervous system and muscles.

To be safe, take your magnesium supplement at least 2 hours before or 4 hours after any other medications. If you are taking prescription medicines for blood pressure, bones (bisphosphonates), or infections (antibiotics), speak to your pharmacist or doctor before starting magnesium. It is best to avoid or strictly limit alcohol while taking magnesium, as both can cause drowsiness.
