Magnesium: The Most Underrated Supplement You're Probably Missing
Most people are deficient in magnesium and don't know it. It's involved in 300+ enzymatic reactions — sleep, muscle recovery, stress response, cognitive function.
But here's where most people go wrong: they grab magnesium oxide from the grocery store. It's cheap, but your body absorbs maybe 4% of it.
Here's a quick breakdown of the forms that actually work:
• Magnesium glycinate — best for sleep and anxiety. Well-absorbed, gentle on the stomach.
• Magnesium L-threonate — crosses the blood-brain barrier. Best for cognitive function and memory.
• Magnesium malate — great for energy and muscle recovery. Popular with athletes.
• Magnesium taurate — cardiovascular support. Good option if heart health is a priority.
My recommendation: Start with glycinate (400mg before bed) and add threonate (2g) if you want the cognitive benefits.
Avoid magnesium oxide and citrate in high doses — they're mostly laxatives at that point.
