Which Magnesium is Right for You?

Not all magnesium is created equal. Which is right for you?

Supplemental mag comes in the form of a chelate. Chelate [key-late] means a metal molecule has been bonded to another. Chelating minerals allows for better absorption and utilization in the body.

Since magnesium plays a role in over 800 reactions, picking the right chelate can direct it towards specific tissue needs.

Mag Oxide

The least absorbed form of mag, often used in less expensive products. It is, however, an effective laxative, as its not absorbed in the colon and can draw out water.

Mag Citrate

A gentler, water-drawing effect loosens bowel movements less intensely than oxide. Great for chronic constipation.

Mag Glycinate

Glycine is a non-essential amino acid also considered a neurotransmitter in its own right, promoting calm relaxation and working synergistically with mag to promote restful sleep.

Mag Malate

Malic acid is involved in cellular energy production, and ultimately yields ATP. Great for those who struggle with chronic fatigue, and an effective supporter of muscle recovery.

Mag Threonate

The only blood-brain barrier soluble form of magnesium. Shown to improve short and long-term memory, promote neuronal connectivity, and calm the nervous system.
