Magnesium is one of our primary minerals! It helps your body relax, lower inflammation and is needed for over 500 different enzyme reactions in the body.

Here are the types of magnesium and what can be better for you depending on your symptom:
Magnesium citrate:
This magnesium is perfect if you are having some constipation as well as a magnesium source and it is inexpensive and easily absorbed.

Magnesium malate:
Feeling exhausted? This is the best magnesium if you are suffering from exhaustion and fatigue as it helps with energy production. Malic acid is a natural fruit acid that our body naturally has in the cells and this plays a key role in our energy production.
Magnesium glycinate:
Best form of magnesium if your deficiency has been long term. This also does not cause or induce any laxative effects.
Magnesium glycinate with B6 is a great support for PMS and may have calming properties. It may help reduce anxiety, depression, stress, and insomnia as well.
Magnesium chloride:
This form is helpful for detoxification of our cells and and aids our kidney function and boosting a slow metabolism. You can also find it in a spray format and you can spray a small amount right on top of your belly during heavy cramping
Magnesium bicarbonate:
Suffering from indigestion and acid reflux? This magnesium is the best form for you as it mixes with the acid in our stomach as it contains antacid properties.
Magnesium sulfate:
Also called Epsom salt, is a fantastic relaxation aid, however be cautious of the amount and how many times a week you are using it as it’s easy to “overdose” on it.
