A Powerful Magnesium

Our seven forms of magnesium

Our Magnesium contains Magnesium Oxide

This form supports normal muscle and psychological function. Some use it primarily for its perceived calming effect. Magnesium oxide is often used for digestive comfort, including issues like heartburn and constipation. It has an undeservedly poor reputation due to its low bioavailability of only four per cent, but it's crucial to distinguish between free and bound minerals, as this affects absorption. While the bioavailability of magnesium oxide is low, the amount of free magnesium is very high, meaning it can still be highly effective.

Our Magnesium contains Magnesium Citrate

Citrate has a low concentration of magnesium but a bioavailability of 90 per cent. It is beneficial for issues like constipation. Magnesium citrate is one of the most popular forms in magnesium supplements and is easily absorbed by the body. It's a well-tolerated form with very high bioavailability and is recommended for individuals who need to increase their magnesium levels quickly. It has a mild laxative effect.

Our Magnesium contains Magnesium Malate

Magnesium malate contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. It is involved in ATP synthesis (energy conversion) and contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism. It has high solubility. Magnesium malate is easily absorbed and has less of a laxative effect than other forms. It can also be a great choice to support you during exercise and periods of general fatigue, thanks to its role in energy production.

Our Magnesium contains Magnesium Bisglycinate

This is a stable form of magnesium, excellent for restoring magnesium levels if they have been low for a long time. It also contributes to normal muscle function and is often taken to support restful sleep. Magnesium glycinate is a very well-tolerated form with high bioavailability.

A form of magnesium known for being very gentle on the stomach, having high absorption, and a calming effect, as the amino acid glycine, which is bound to the magnesium, acts as a calming neurotransmitter in the body.

Our Magnesium contains Magnesium Succinate

Magnesium succinate is a form with good bioavailability, often chosen to support relaxation and restful sleep. It is magnesium chelated to succinic acid. This compound provides one of the highest amounts of elemental magnesium while also supplying the body with a component of the citric acid cycle. This cycle not only contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism but also supports the normal functioning of muscle fibres and the nervous system.

Our Magnesium contains Magnesium Gluconate

Magnesium gluconate is a form that can be used to help maintain and increase low levels of magnesium in the blood.

According to one study, magnesium gluconate showed the highest level of bioavailability of any magnesium salt, although all 10 salts studied significantly increased magnesium levels.

Our Magnesium contains Magnesium Ascorbate

Magnesium ascorbate is a buffered (non-acidic) form of vitamin C and a source of the mineral magnesium. It is a naturally neutral salt that is significantly gentler on the stomach as it is less irritating and allows for better absorption of both vitamin C and magnesium. Both vitamin C and magnesium are important during times of stress and intense strain and are needed for a functioning immune system. Magnesium ascorbate provides both of these important nutrients in one simple form.

Summary

Now that you've read this far, you know which type of magnesium to choose based on your individual needs. Alternatively, you can take Great Earth's Magnesium and you won't have to choose.
