Magnesium: Which Form Is Best?
You're standing in the drugstore, picking up a package of magnesium—and you see: citrate, oxide, glycinate, malate, taurinate. What does all that mean? Isn't "magnesium" enough? Unfortunately, no. While magnesium is always magnesium, the compound to which the mineral is bound plays a key role in determining how much your body can actually absorb, how well it is tolerated, and what it is best suited for.
