Types of magnesium: different options to support health

     There are several forms of magnesium available on the market, and it may not be easy to choose the most suitable option for individual needs. That is why it is important to be aware of the differences between the types of magnesium and how each one is used by the body. Check out the main ones:

 Magnesium Ascorbate

Because it is linked to ascorbic acid, in this form it is possible to obtain the benefits of magnesium and vitamin C. It is mainly indicated for the immune and cardiac systems.

 Magnesium Aspartate

This is magnesium associated with the amino acid aspartic acid, mainly indicated for the treatment of heart disease, chronic fatigue and physical and mental stress.

 Magnesium Citrate

It has high oral bioavailability and is quickly absorbed by intestinal cells, but it has a laxative effect in some patients. It is used in the most diverse pathologies of the cardiovascular, neuromuscular and nervous systems.

 Magnesium Chloride

Among the different types of magnesium, this one has the best topical absorption and can be indicated for relieving muscle tension and cramps.

 Magnesium Carbonate

It has antacid properties and is commonly indicated for people who suffer from indigestion and reflux.

 Magnesium Inositol

It combines the benefits of magnesium with the advantages of inositol, one of the B vitamins. It is indicated for mental and physical relaxation, sleep quality, memory, muscle and bone pain.

 Magnesium Malate

Generally called magnesium dimalate, this is the form associated with malic acid, a substance that plays an important role in the production of energy in the body. Therefore, it is usually indicated to improve disposition and performance in physical activities, as well as for pathologies such as fibromyalgia.

 Magnesium Oxide

Inorganic compound that, among the existing types of magnesium, is the least absorbed by the body. It is used for its laxative and antacid effects and to combat indigestion.

 Chelated Magnesium

This form is highly bioavailable, that is, it can be absorbed and used by the body easily. It is generally associated with the amino acid glycine, giving rise to the so-called magnesium bisglycinate. Glycine is an important neurotransmitter and has anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties. Thus, chelated magnesium is used in a wide range of cardiovascular, neuromuscular and, especially, nervous system conditions.

 Albion Chelated Magnesium

The production of chelated minerals developed by Albion is controlled and patented, and gives the final product a stable mineral, with an excellent absorption profile compared to the common chelated mineral. Used in a wide range of pathologies of the cardiovascular, neuromuscular and nervous systems.

 Taste Free Chelated Magnesium

It has the same benefits as chelated magnesium, with a less pronounced characteristic bitterness.

 Magnesium Sulfate

It has good topical absorption, that is, when applied to the skin (such as in the form of creams, ointments, gels or lotions), it can easily penetrate the layers of the skin and reach the underlying tissue to exert its desired effect. When taken orally, it has a laxative effect.

 Magnesium Taurate

This type is the combination of magnesium with L-Taurine, which has neuromodulatory and neuroprotective effects. This form of magnesium easily reaches brain tissue and is therefore often indicated in situations of stress, anxiety and other neurological disorders, in addition to its known effects on the cardiovascular and neuromuscular systems.

 Magnesium Threonate

Its use is associated with brain processes such as cognition, learning, memory and Alzheimer's.
