Magnesium is one of the most essential — and commonly depleted — minerals in the body. But did you know that different forms of magnesium support different health goals?
Let’s break down the most popular types we carry and how to choose the best one for YOU:
🌿 Magnesium Glycinate
Best for: Calm, stress, sleep & muscle relaxation
Magnesium glycinate is bound to the amino acid glycine, making it highly absorbable and gentle on the stomach.
• Supports relaxation & nervous system balance
• Helps with occasional anxiety
• Promotes restful sleep
• Great for muscle recovery
• Less likely to cause digestive upset
This is our go-to for patients needing calm + full-body relaxation support.
💧 Magnesium Citrate
Best for: Digestive support & regularity
Magnesium citrate is well absorbed but also draws water into the intestines.
• Supports healthy bowel movements
• Helpful for occasional constipation
• Fast-acting digestive support
If gut motility is your main goal, citrate may be the best fit.
🧠 Magnesium Threonate
Best for: Brain, memory & cognitive health
Magnesium Threonate is uniquely formulated to cross the blood-brain barrier — making it ideal for neurological support.
• Supports memory & learning
• Promotes focus & mental clarity
• Encourages cognitive function
• Popular for brain aging support
Think of this one as magnesium for the mind.
🔬 What Does “Chelated Magnesium” Mean?
Chelated simply means the magnesium is bound to another molecule (like glycine or Threonate) to improve absorption.
• Easier on digestion
• Higher bioavailability
• Ideal for long-term supplementation
Magnesium glycinate and magnesium Threonate are both excellent chelated forms.
