Magnesium supplements contain different forms of magnesium. Let’s take a look at them, starting with the worst.
1. The worst magnesium – Magnesium oxide is the worst yet most common magnesium supplement. It only has a 4% absorption rate. It’s also very expensive!
2. Magnesium sulfate has a 10% absorption rate and a high laxative effect. It may help relax your muscles superficially.
3. Magnesium orotate has a 15% absorption rate. This form of magnesium can penetrate the cell and increase energy. Magnesium orotate also works as an antioxidant and supports the DNA.
4. Magnesium taurate has a 20% absorption rate and supports heart health, blood pressure, and the nervous system.
5. Magnesium lactate has a 25% absorption rate and is more gentle on the GI system. It supports the cardiovascular system and can improve energy. Magnesium lactate is often used topically, which may be beneficial for your muscles.
6. Magnesium citrate has a 30% absorption rate. It can help prevent kidney stones and is good for cardiovascular issues and blood pressure. It can also help with detoxification.
7. Magnesium malate has a 40% absorption rate. It’s beneficial for chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia.
8. Magnesium threonate has a 75% absorption rate. It supports cognitive function and is a good form of magnesium for sleep.
9. The best magnesium – Magnesium glycinate is the most absorbable type of magnesium. There are a lot of magnesium glycinate benefits. It’s gentle on the GI system, helps prevent muscle spasms, supports sleep and relaxation, and reduces stress. Magnesium glycinate may help relieve migraines and won’t interfere with other minerals.
Consider taking 400 mg of magnesium glycinate each night as a maintenance dose. Double this for a therapeutic dose and take throughout the day.

Thanks for watching! Give magnesium glycinate a try. I’ll see you in the next video.
So glad I watched this I had been taking a popular Magnesium Zinc complex for a while with no benefits upon checking the label. It contains Magnesium Stearate which has no nutritional value and is inactive it simply stops the powder clumping during manufacturing always check the labels and buy the genuine article.
Dr Clueless here, do you twitch?? Get weird heart events? Stiff hands?? Get some Mg NOW and some iodine………………….
Dr Berg, you have great advice. You show that you care for others because you go the extra mile and explain everything. I would personally like you to additionally identify some good brands of Magnesium, and any other bad things about taking it. As a bipolar patient, you don’t realize how much you have helped me. My depression is at its lowest it has been in 10 years. As a type II diabetic, my blood sugar is almost always in check. My neuropathy that was once out of control, is much better. I will be 67 this year, and now I’m celebrating this because of you. Thank you again.
If you can’t measure magnesium in the blood, how do we know we only absorb 4% of magnesium oxide?
Dr. Berg, what is the vitamin and supplements company to buy from today?
