Which magnesium supplement is best for me?

Adding a magnesium supplement to your daily routine is an excellent way to ensure adequate magnesium. But which form of magnesium should you choose: malate, citrate, or glycinate?

Let's explore the unique properties of magnesium bis-glycinate, also known as magnesium glycinate. The 'bis' in its name indicates the presence of two glycine molecules, which significantly enhance magnesium's solubility and facilitate its absorption.

Glycine, an amino acid, plays a pivotal role in this process, boosting magnesium's bioavailability in our bodies. Another advantage of this form of magnesium is that it tends to have less of a laxative effect than other forms of magnesium because it is better absorbed from the intestinal tract.

An additional benefit of the amino acid glycine is that it acts as a neurotransmitter that provides relaxation and stress reduction for the body.

Commonly used by those looking to support restful sleep, this form of magnesium is also included in Natural Doctor's Sleep Good. 3Plus Magnesium Natural Doctor is a high-potency blend of magnesium citrate, glycinate, and malate.

It is an excellent choice as all three forms are highly absorbable. Understanding the specific benefits of magnesium citrate and malate in the body can assist you in making a more tailored decision.

Citrate also supports kidney function by reducing urine calcium oxalate and phosphate crystals. Malate combines well with magnesium to benefit people who experience severe muscle fatigue.
