Magnesium, one of the most essential minerals and involved in over 600 bodily processes, is vital for maintaining the health of the brain, heart, energy levels, muscles, and bones. It also plays a key role in hormone function, stress response, and glucose regulation. Magnesium deficiency is a common issue, especially among older adults and women.
Certain forms of magnesium are preferred for their functionality, bioavailability, and tolerability.
- Magnesium Taurate is known for antihypertensive effects and overall cardiovascular support. It works by relaxing smooth muscles, such as those in the blood vessels and lungs, and by calming excitatory processes. It is also shown to improve deep sleep. Taurine helps to move magnesium in and out of cells, improving bioavailability and utilization.
- Magnesium Malate has been shown to maintain higher serum magnesium levels and supports energy production and muscle recovery.
- Magnesium Glycinate has a calming and cooling effect on the body, boosting GABA and promoting slow-wave sleep.
- Magnesium L-Threonate can cross the blood-brain barrier and has shown in a 12-week study to benefit cognitive function and memory, reducing brain age by an average of 9 years.
- Magnesium Acetyl-Taurinate is rapidly absorbed, achieves the highest concentration levels in the brain, and has been shown to alleviate anxiety by increasing GABA and feelings of relaxation.
- Magnesium Citrate has shown to have a mild laxative effect supporting digestion and regularity.
