What is the main difference between Magnesium Citrate and Glycinate?Updated 8 days ago
Great question! Both are excellent forms of magnesium, but they have slightly different benefits:
- Magnesium Citrate is known often used to support digestion and may help promote regularity. It’s known for having a gentle laxative effect, which some people find helpful for relieving occasional constipation. As always, individual responses can vary.
- Magnesium Glycinate, on the other hand, has a higher absorbability rate, is more potent, and shines when it comes to relaxation. It’s often used to support sleep quality, ease muscle tension, and reduce occasional cramps—all without typically affecting digestion.
If you’re looking to support your magnesium levels and could use some help with regularity, Magnesium Citrate is a great choice.
If you're looking for higher potency and have a sensitive digestion or aren’t dealing with constipation, Magnesium Glycinate may be your best choice for sleep support and muscle relaxation. Additionally, our Magnesium Glycinate provides 2 mg of zinc per dose, while our Magnesium Citrate does not contain any added zinc.
