What form of magnesium is right for you?

MAGNESIUM CITRATE ~ is most commonly recommended for constipation. This type of magnesium acts as an osmotic laxative, which means it pulls water into your GI tract and relaxes your bowls, making it easier to poop.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
MAGNESIUM OXIDE ~ has relatively poor bioavailability of magnesium. Often found in lower costing mg supplements. Try a citrate or glycinate form instead.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
MAGNESIUM GLYCINATE ~ supplements are considered the gold standard because of their high absorbability and the fact that even at higher doses, they will not cause a digestive upset like other forms of magnesium. Studies have shown that magnesium glycinate helps with sleep, muscles tightness and migraines/headaches.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
MAGNESIUM SULFATE ~ epsom salts are available in most pharmacies and wellness stores. They’re praised for helping with muscle soreness and fatigue, insomnia, and general stress and anxiety.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
MAGNESIUM CHLORIDE ~ if you want to try transdermal (topical) magnesium but don’t have time for a bath, you’ll probably land on magnesium chloride, which is the ingredient found in most magnesium creams and oils.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The magnesium forms I'm most often recommending to clients are the citrate and glycinate. You can often find great combination products that have a few different forms of magnesium. Which can be great for saving money and triaging more symptoms. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Dosing and brands I work with depend on the unique needs for each client. Reach out if you have any questions.✨⠀
