Magnesium

What are the benefits of magnesium? 

Magnesium is an essential mineral that supports healthy muscles, nerves, bones and heart function. It also plays a role in energy production and is commonly used to support relaxation and sleep. 

How do I choose a magnesium supplement? 

Start with your wellness goal. Different forms of magnesium have different characteristics, so consider the form, amount of elemental magnesium, delivery format and how well it fits your routine. 

Which type of magnesium is best? 

There is no single best form for everyone. Magnesium glycinate is commonly chosen for relaxation and sleep support, while magnesium citrate is often selected for its absorption and digestive benefits. Multi-form formulas can provide a broader approach. 

What's the difference between magnesium glycinate and magnesium citrate? 

Magnesium glycinate combines magnesium with the amino acid glycine and is often chosen for relaxation and gentle digestion. Magnesium citrate combines magnesium with citric acid and may also support regularity. 

When is the best time to take magnesium? 

Magnesium can be taken at any time of day. Many people take it in the evening as part of a relaxation or bedtime routine, while others take it with meals. Follow the directions on your product label. 

Why can magnesium upset my stomach? 

Some forms and amounts of magnesium can have a laxative effect or cause digestive discomfort. If this happens, a different form, serving size or taking it with food may be easier to tolerate.
