MAGNESIUM – Many types for many uses

It is estimated that about 60% of adults in the United States are nutritionally deficient in Magnesium*. Nielsen, F. (2010)

Many of us know that Magnesium is important, as it works with ATP (adenosine triphosphate) to provide your body with energy. It also helps to:

There are different types that impact specific aspects of our physiological systems. It is a supplement that I take every night and strongly suggest adding if nervousness, anxiety, and in cases when overthinking is a pattern.

Here is a summary of the various kinds available and what they are specifically used for:

Magnesium chloride – MgCl2

Most popular, extracted from brine or saltwater, organically encourages sleep, digestion, bone health, and a sense of mental and physical calm. May cause diarrhea in large amounts.

Magnesium chloride

Magnesium sulfate – MgSO4

Also known as Epsom Salts and used extensively in bath products, great for sore muscles. It’s a laxative, when used internally.

Magnesium sulfate

Magnesium citrate – C6H6MgO7

Derived from citric acid, very bioavailable, often used to support digestion, good to alleviate constipation and acid indigestion. May contribute to dehydration as magnesium citrate draws H20 to the digestive system resulting in defecation.

Magnesium oxide – MgO

The large oxygen molecule reduces it’s absorption. It is contained in Milk of Magnesia and supports digestion, usually lower in cost.

Magnesium oxide

Magnesium glycinate – C4H8MgN2O4

Supports muscle relaxation, the amino acid glycine is known to calm the mind and body. Ranks the best in bioavailability, not so much as a laxative.

Magnesium orotate – C10H6MgN4O8

Supports stamina and endurance for athletes, and also for general heart health. Usually more expensive, as it includes orotic acid (formerly known as B13).

Magnesium orotate

Magnesium L-threonate – C8H14MgO10

Specifically supports cognative function, as well as short term memory loss caused by chronic pain. Some evidence that it may prevent dementia.
