Press play. 2 minutes.
People always ask which magnesium is better, our magnesium citrate or our magnesium bisglycinate. The way we think about magnesium is not which one's better, rather what are you trying to solve?
Magnesium citrate has what we call an osmotic effect, meaning it pulls water into your intestines. So magnesium citrate is great for somebody who tends to run constipated. You get all the benefits of magnesium, such as muscle relaxation, and it's very good for loosening stools.
Magnesium bisglycinate is a little different. It's attached to a glycine molecule, so it's great for relaxation, which is why magnesium bisglycinate is great before bed. It helps you sleep better, and it's good for cramping.
Both magnesiums are great for the problem they're trying to solve.
