The BEST And WORST Forms of Magnesium

  • Magnesium is incredibly important for cellular health as it is involved in over 300 different enzymatic reactions. When magnesium levels are low, you WILL feel it.
    This leads a lot of people to use supplements to replace low magnesium levels.
    But here's the problem:
    When you go looking for magnesium supplements you will be met with a huge array of different types. And these types and formulations of magnesium are NOT all created equal.
    Let's talk about the best types of magnesium so you can replace lost levels and manage symptoms like fatigue, insomnia, stress, anxiety, depression, and more.
    1. Magnesium oxide. This is the cheapest and least effective form and should be avoided!
    2. Magnesium citrate. This form is great for treating constipation.
    3. Magnesium malate. This is a stimulating form of magnesium great for those with fatigue (don't take it at night!).
    4. Magnesium l-threonate. This form of magnesium crosses the blood-brain barrier and is ideal for treating conditions like depression.
    5. Magnesium glycinate. This is one of the best all rounded forms for improving whole body magnesium.
    6. Magnesium orotate. Magnesium orotate is ideal for improving athletic performance but it doesn't treat constipation.
    7. Sucrosomial magnesium. This newer form of magnesium is probably best for improving athletic performance.

    1. Mag oxide - low quality. For constipation but low bioavailability.
    2. Mag Citrate - good general mag.
    3. Mag malate -mag + malic acid. Can be stimulating so not at night.
    4.Mag l threonate - crosses blood brain barrier. Good for depression, headaches, etc but doesn't increase body mag levels. 1500-2000 mg per day. Higher dose required.
    5. Mag glycinate - mag + glycine. Brain benefits. He uses this. A high dose is required of 300-400mg per day. Rleaxing.
    6. Mag orotate - not water soluble and won't help with constipation. Expensive.
    7. Sucrasomial mag - highly absorbed. He hasnt used it much. Very expensive.
    He recommends mag glycinate or mag citrate.

    When my son was very young, he still wet the bed, and was irritable--even saying the birds singing outside were too loud.
    Did some research and found these are all syptoms of mag deficiency.
    Started him on high mag foods and within 24 hrs, he stopped wetting the bed ---and his mood improved. It works FAST--usually within 24 hrs.
    He only wet the bed one other time-->>when we were on vacation and he had missed his mag for a few days.
    Can't tell the pediatricians about Magnesium. They don't want to hear it.

    1. m oxide AVOID (cheap and low quality) 2. m citrate (laxative properties drawing in water) most excreted 3. m malate (ideal for whole body magnesium but stimulating- not before bed) 4. m l-threonate9 best for cognitive issues, but not for total body and excreted easily) 5. m glycinate (his favorite) 6. m orotate (might help with energy in cells but expensive maybe for athletes) 7. sucrasomial good absorption also $$$

      I currently take Q-nol magnesium glycinate. My chiropractor suggested it for the night leg cramps. I did not get as much relief as I want and having to take it two hours after anything else, is prohibitive. I am not as faithful with it the past two months as I had been. If I can find the last one I may try that as I have thyroid, blood glucose, hypertension and depression issues all combined to deal with in addition to the night leg cramps. Thanks.

    I think magnesium glycinate is great for most people but I’ve had to temporarily switch to magnesium citrate as I’ve been dealing with an oxalate issue. Since I’ve had nutritional deficiencies in vitamin b6 and b1 my body converts glycinate supplements into extra oxalate in my body :( thankfully citrate is helpful for breaking down oxalate stones! Just something to be aware of

      Magnesium binds with oxalate, making oxalate less likely to bind with calcium and form a kidney stone! What is this? Magnesium can bind with oxalate both in the intestine and in urine; both are a good thing!

    I'm a 40 year licensed chiropractor; our profession has a lot of training in clinical nutrition, which I've continued. One of the foremost experts in nutrition is in my profession and I take continuing education hours from him and others. Nutritional biochemistry and physiology are very complex.
    I grow organic vegetables in mineral-rich soil [from hardwood ashes, compost, etc.], and there's plenty of organically complexed magnesium in the raw kale, etc. that I eat.
    Many supplements are cheaply made and may not be very absorbable or bioavailable. Strive to eat well; don't just take supplements! That said, some important nutrients you need are not present, or not present in significant quantities in food. Examples are CoQ10, vitamin D3, vitamins K1 and K2.

Since most MDs are ALLOPATHIC, they know very little about true nutrition and supplements. They are indoctrinated by big pharma and instead of being open to learning more about FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE, they reject it and discredit true healthcare practitioners. I used to get patients referred to me with tremors, which they thought might be Parkinson's or some NOS condition but never thought about trying magnesium. Some patients had tremors after years of taking gabapentin. My goal is to become certified in functional medicine, but at 60, that is an expensive credential for a low ROI.

    I like taking a foot bath once or twice a week with magnesium sulphate (Epsom salts) or magnesium chloride. They have a calming effect and can raise magnesium levels in the blood transdermally. They also help with aches and pains. I take magnesium citrate orally because I can buy it cheaply in bulk and is the only kind I can afford thanks to the cost of living crisis, even though it is not as easy on the gut as more expensive versions.

    When I began to take Magnesium, I didn’t know there were so many varieties so I purchased what I saw at the local Box Store. It is Magnesium Oxide, and for me, it works very well.
    The cramps and spasms disappeared, and my sleep improved immediately.
    Most importantly, my blood pressure improved dramatically and I no longer take the pharmaceuticals.
    Magnesium Oxide is what I will continue to use because it has been very effective.

    I did research years ago and started using Mg Glycinate when I had a traumatic loss in my family (a suicide of a sibling that came out of left field and was devastating. None of us knew what was happening in their life) and I developed a sleeping problem. I also suffered from general anxiety, prior to this and I found it helped greatly with that, also. I also have a Mg spray that helps with my feet. I always get that cramp in my toe, which is horrible. I am sure many know what I am talking about. I wasn't eating right or drinking enough water, I was a mess. I was going through life like a zombie, I was so shocked by what happened. Mg has helped me greatly in my life. All back together now. Functioning well as a wife and mother. I was a disaster for about 2 months with no sleep. I knew I needed help and when the doctor wanted me to take Ambien or Xanax, I knew I had to find a healthy alternative.

I purchase Doctor's Best High Absorption Magnesium Glycinate Lysinate, 100% Chelated, Non-GMO, Vegan, Gluten & Soy Free, 100 mg, 240 Count. It works for me. I have never taken more than 2, but when my husband was having issues, he asked his doctor about it and he said he could take up to 4. Start low and if it is not working, take another. For reference, I am 135 lbs and my husband is over 200. Do not use other forms of magnesium, some can cause loose stool, like Mg Citrate. Just think what milk of magnesia is for! This is a different form of magnesium. Also be careful not to unbalance all of your electrolytes with use. Your electrolytes are potassium, calcium, magnesium, and sodium, so you have to consider that. I do know a bit about it when I suffered C. Diff and I got dizzy and crazy until a nephrologist checked my electrolytes and was shocked I was alive because they were so low. You need potassium for your heart to beat. You have to be VERY careful about potassium supplementation, too high or low can be very dangerous, so don't mess with that. Not medical advice!!!! Just anecdotal experience. I have no medical credentials. I am a high school English teacher. Try at your own risk.
