Hi all, currently supplementing for low vit D with Better you spray with K2, my question is what's the best magnesium type and best place to purchase it. I've looked at glycinate.

Thanks

Depends what you want it to do:

Magnesium citrate: mild laxative, best for constipation.

Magnesium taurate: best for cardiovascular health.

Magnesium malate: best for fatigue – helps make ATP energy.

Magnesium glycinate: most bioavailable and absorbable form, non-laxative.

Magnesium chloride: for detoxing the cells and tissues, aids kidney function and can boost a sluggish metabolism.

Magnesium carbonate: good for people suffering with indigestion and acid reflux as it contains antacid properties.

Worst forms of magnesium: oxide, sulphate, glutamate and aspartate.

I always buy mine on Amazon, but I don't know if that's the best place. :)

Do you know that glycinate is the best form for your own specific needs? Have you checked them all out?

Cheers, I believe malate may be best for my fatigue/over tiredness and the fact I do weight lifting. Great links thanks again.
