Which Magnesium Is Right For You? Check This First

Search for magnesium, and you’ll find dozens of bottles that look almost the same.

But their labels come with complicated names like glycinate, citrate, malate, and oxide.

Each of those is a different form, and each one tends to be chosen for a different reason.

So before you pick one, run through these 5 checks. We’ll answer each one for our own 12-in-1 Magnesium as we go, so you can see what a clear answer looks like…

1. What Do You Want It To Support?

Start with the one thing you’d most like to change, because that decides everything that follows.

Some people want to fall asleep more easily. Others want steady energy or muscles that feel less tight after a long day.

Magnesium plays a part in all of these, since your body uses it in more than 304 processes.¹

So write down your main reason first (it makes the next check much quicker)

2. Which Form Matches That Goal?

The word after “magnesium” on the label tells you what it’s bound to, and that changes what people use it for.

• Glycinate is bound to glycine, and it’s the form most often chosen for calm and sleep*
• Malate is bound to malic acid, and people tend to pick it for daily energy*
• Citrate dissolves well, and it’s a common choice for muscles*
• Threonate is the form researchers have studied for focus and memory*
• Taurate is bound to taurine, and it’s often chosen for heart support*

Forms also differ in how well your body absorbs them. The National Institutes of Health notes that forms which dissolve well in liquid are absorbed better than less soluble ones.¹

3. Do You Want One Form Or Several?

If you have one clear goal, a single form can be a sensible pick.

But plenty of people want help with sleep AND energy AND muscles, which would mean getting different bottles.

A complex puts several forms into one capsule, so you don’t have to choose between them.

Our high-quality Magnesium has 12 essential forms, and every one plays a key role.

4. Will It Fit Your Evening?

A supplement works for you when taking it suits your day.

Ours is a capsule, with no powder to mix and no taste to get used to. So take it after your evening meal, before bed.

5. What Happens After You Order?

Look at the delivery time, how refills work, and what happens if it isn’t for you.

We dispatch orders within 1-2 working days, and US orders arrive within 3-7 working days.

Refills ship every 30 days, and you can stop or cancel anytime.

Every order also comes with a 30-day full refund policy, so you have time to see how it suits you.
