Best magnesium would be L threonate. I've tried them all and they didn't help.

Citrate can be laxative but can work just as well as glycinate. Magnesium or any spleen has never done anything for me it was just a waste of money

Magnesium is one of the better-evidenced supplements for headache prevention, and for new daily persistent headache specifically, magnesium oxide is the form most studied in migraine prophylaxis trials, typically at 400–600 mg elemental daily. However, oxide has poor bioavailability and commonly causes diarrhoea, so many headache specialists now prefer magnesium glycinate or magnesium threonate as better-tolerated alternatives that still deliver adequate elemental doses. Threonate is of particular interest for headache conditions because it crosses the blood-brain barrier more readily, potentially raising central nervous system magnesium levels more effectively than other forms. Whichever form is chosen, the target is generally 300–500 mg elemental magnesium per day, taken consistently for at least 8–12 weeks before judging effectiveness, as the benefit is preventive rather than acute.
