Magnesium is essential for energy, sleep, and overall health—but different forms serve different purposes.

• Citrate: supports bowel regularity
• Glycinate: promotes sleep and hormonal balance
• Malate: helps with energy and hydration
• Threonate: supports brain function and sleep
• Taurate: benefits heart health and blood sugar
• Orotate: may support athletic performance
• Sulfate (Epsom salt): used for muscle relaxation in baths
• Chloride: well-absorbed, good for general use
• Stearate: a filler/lubricant, not for health benefits

Possible signs of low magnesium include dry, cracked lips, bad breath, and canker sores.

Choosing the right type depends on your specific needs—but getting enough magnesium is key to feeling your best.
