@mia_in_hawaii: Magnesium Glycinate Often chosen for relaxation, nervous-system support and sleep. It tends to be gentle on the stomach. Magnesium Bisglycinate A chelated form bound to glycine. Primarily valued for good absorption and tolerability, with glycine also associated with relaxation. Magnesium Malate Magnesium combined with malic acid, which participates in cellular energy metabolism. Often used for muscle and energy support. Magnesium L-Threonate A form studied for its ability to increase magnesium levels in the brain. It’s particularly marketed for brain health and cognitive function, although evidence for cognitive benefits in humans is still developing. Magnesium Taurate Magnesium bound to taurine. It’s commonly used for cardiovascular and heart-health support. Magnesium Citrate A relatively well-absorbed form that’s also known for its effect on the digestive tract and bowel regularity. Magnesium Aspartate Magnesium bound to aspartic acid and involved in pathways related to energy metabolism. Magnesium Oxide Contains a high amount of elemental magnesium but is less well absorbed than several other forms. It’s particularly known for its laxative/digestive effect.
