I'm assuming you gotta "do battle" when taking magnesium is due to Borrelia utilizing (stealing) your magnesium. Magnesium malate is the preferred type for Lyme, others can chime in with their experiences hopefully. Plus, it takes a long time to restore magnesium levels when supplementing, it absorbs better with food and certain vitamin/mineral combinations.
