Magnesium is incredibly important for cellular health as it is involved in over 300 different enzymatic reactions. When magnesium levels are low, you WILL feel it.

This leads a lot of people to use supplements to replace low magnesium levels.

But here’s the problem:

When you go looking for magnesium supplements you will be met with a huge array of different types. And these types and formulations of magnesium are NOT all created equal.

Let’s talk about the best types of magnesium so you can replace lost levels and manage symptoms like fatigue, insomnia, stress, anxiety, depression, and more.

1. Magnesium oxide. This is the cheapest and least effective form and should be avoided!

2. Magnesium citrate. This form is great for treating constipation.

3. Magnesium malate. This is a stimulating form of magnesium great for those with fatigue (don’t take it at night!).

4. Magnesium l-threonate. This form of magnesium crosses the blood-brain barrier and is ideal for treating conditions like depression.

5. Magnesium glycinate. This is one of the best all rounded forms for improving whole body magnesium.

6. Magnesium orotate. Magnesium orotate is ideal for improving athletic performance but it doesn’t treat constipation.

7. Sucrosomial magnesium. This newer form of magnesium is probably best for improving athletic performance.
