when is best to take magnesium?

Ok - just popped into town to buy some magnesium from H&B. the staff were crap in there and no help at all. I ended up buying magnesium citrate 100mg tablets. It says take 3 a day with a meal - think i will start on 1 per day and up if i need to - when is best to take it?

I usually take my supplements after breakfast. Most of them are absorbed better with a meal. I actually took my magnesium with every meal (3 times a day) when I remember or when it was convenient.

Some supplements are better taken in the mornings - eg vitamin B I understand increases energy levels, so you don't really want to take at night. However, I don't think there is a problem with taking magnesium at any time.
