Magnesium: which form is right for you?

Magnesium supports hundreds of processes in the body, from muscle and nerve function to sleep and energy. Supplements come in several forms, and each suits a slightly different goal.

Magnesium glycinate

Gentle on the stomach and popular for relaxation and evening routines. A good first choice if other forms have upset your digestion.

Magnesium citrate

Well absorbed and often used to support regularity. Drink mixes such as CALM make it easy to take in water.

Magnesium L-threonate

Studied for its ability to reach the brain, so it is often chosen for focus and cognitive support.

Magnesium complexes

Blend several forms in one capsule, a convenient all-round option.
