Magnesium Glycinate

Good for: Sleep, stress, and muscle tension

Magnesium glycinate is one of the most gentle and easy-to-digest types. It’s often taken in the evening to help the body relax and sleep better. People who feel anxious or tense may also find it calming.

This type doesn’t usually upset the stomach and won’t make you run to the toilet. It’s a great everyday magnesium that many people can take without any problems.

At EpicZen, we stock a trusted brand of magnesium glycinate, known for its high quality and good absorption.

Magnesium Citrate

Good for: Constipation, muscle cramps

Magnesium citrate is well absorbed by the body and works quickly. It’s often used to help with constipation because it draws water into the bowel. That means it can cause diarrhoea, especially if you take too much.

If you need help going to the toilet, this might be the right choice. But if you want magnesium for stress or sleep, another type may be better.

Magnesium Taurate

Good for: Heart health, stress, calmness, sensitive digestion

Magnesium taurate is an easily absorbed and gentle form of magnesium, ideal for contributing to normal muscle function and electrolyte balance. Involved in over 300 processes in the human body, magnesium is often named the ‘spark of life’ due to its importance in the body.

Which One Should You Choose?

If you want better sleep or to feel calmer, try magnesium glycinate.

If you need help with constipation, magnesium citrate or oxide might help.

If your focus is on brain health, magnesium L-threonate is worth looking at.

If you want to support your heart and reduce stress, try magnesium taurate.

Everyone’s body is different, so you might need to try a few types to see what suits you best.
