Magnesium: Bisglycinate, Citrate, Malate, and Threonate

Magnesium is an essential cofactor in over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body, playing a central role in neuromuscular function, ATP synthesis, and nervous system function. It contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, to normal muscle function, and to the normal functioning of the nervous system. Bioavailability and digestive tolerance vary depending on the chemical form of the salt, so the choice of form should be guided by the intended objective.

FAQs

Magnesium glycinate (or bisglycinate) is the most recommended form for relaxation, sleep, and stress, as the amino acid glycine has a calming effect on the nervous system, and the form is highly absorbable without causing a laxative effect. Magnesium taurate is another excellent option for cardiovascular and nervous health.

Magnesium participates in over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body: energy production (ATP), muscle contraction, nervous system regulation, protein production, DNA synthesis, blood sugar regulation, and bone health. Deficiency is very common and manifests as fatigue, cramps, irritability, and sleep disturbances.

Yes. Magnesium is safe for daily use at the recommended doses (between 200 to 400 mg for adults). As it is eliminated by the kidneys, excess is excreted in the urine. Glycinate and malate forms are the most well-tolerated by the digestive system, making them ideal for continuous use.
