Ways to improve health has the following
In order of popularity
Magnesium Citrate
derived from citric acid
excellent bioavailability
supports digestion-specifically, to alleviate constipation and acid indigestion
inexpensive
may lead to dehydration (and the imbalance of minerals associated with this), as it pulls water into the intestines
Magnesium Threonate
good bioavailability
potential to improve cognitive functions, memory deficits
shown to increase levels of magnesium in the brain
Note by VitaminDWiki: Very expensive, proven to get past blood-brain barrier in mice, but not humans as of 2018
Magnesium Oxide
lower levels of bioavailability
relieves constipation
encourages improved digestion
Magnesium Glycinate
promotes muscle relaxation - the amino acid glycine is also known for calming mind and body
easily absorbed
optimum bioavailability
minimal laxative properties
Magnesium Malate
bound to malic acid, an organic compound found in fruits and vegetables, especially apples
binds to toxic metals, like aluminum
promotes healthy skin, muscle performance, saliva production, energy levels
highly bioavailable
Magnesium Amino Acid Chelate
This one is a bit different than the others as it is a general term for magnesium attached to an amino acid that encompases several different forms, including magnesium glycinate, magnesium lysinate, magnesium orotate, and magnesium taurate.
easily absorbed
Magnesium Chloride
may be extracted from brine or ocean water
can be absorbed through the skin
encourages sleep, digestion, bone health and a sense of calm (both mental and physical)
helps to relieve muscle spasms, cramps, dermatitis, eczema, and acne
may cause diarrhea
Note: VitaminDWiki uses MgCl in place of Epsom Salts bath and topically with DMSO cream
Magnesium Carbonate
used in antacids
low solubility and absorption
Magnesium Taurate
proposed use for prevention of migraines
Magnesium Hydroxide
suspended in water
used in antacids and laxatives
Magnesium Orotate
encourages heart health
orotic acid may naturally support the repair of tissues, as well as enhanced stamina and performance
more expensive option
Magnesium Sulfate
otherwise known as Epsom salts
helps to alleviate sore muscles
most potent laxative effect
intravenous for the management of pre-eclampsia and eclampsia
Magnesium Gluconate
less of a laxative effect
Magnesium Lactate
good bioavailability
commonly used to manage digestive issues
should be avoided by those with kidney disease or kidney-related problems
