Magnesium supports normal nerve and muscle function, energy metabolism, and more. Many adults fall short of the recommended intake. This concise guide compares common supplemental forms and how to choose one that fits your goals and tolerance.
What to Know (Intake, Forms, Tolerance)
Glycinate (magnesium bisglycinate) is frequently chosen for gentle GI tolerance and evening routines; citrate is well‑absorbed for many and can have a mild laxative effect at higher intakes; oxide provides higher elemental magnesium per capsule but is less bioavailable and more likely to cause GI upset. Whichever form you choose, start low, take with food, and adjust based on your response. Total daily intake from food + supplements should generally stay within established upper limits unless directed by your clinician.
Use & Safety
Common servings range from 100–200 mg elemental magnesium, 1–2 times daily. People with kidney disease should not supplement without medical supervision. Magnesium can interact with certain medications (e.g., some antibiotics, thyroid medications); separate dosing as advised by your clinician or pharmacist.
