TWT: Choose the Right Type of Magnesium for You

Magnesium is one of the most important—yet often overlooked—minerals in the body…

While standard blood tests may show normal levels, many people are still functionally deficient at the tissue level… and suffering the consequences without realizing it.

On today’s episode, I want to share with you what magnesium is truly meant to do in the body, why it’s essential for restoring balance during physical and emotional stress, and how it supports everything from sleep to energy, digestion, and more.

Join me on today’s Cabral Concept 3441 to go over the most common forms of magnesium, how they differ, and which one may be best for your individual needs. Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought.

Show Highlights & Big Takeaways:

Magnesium Types & Their Uses

  1. Magnesium Citrate – A highly bioavailable form that promotes regular bowel movements, balances pH levels, and soothes the intestines.
  2. Magnesium Glycinate – Known for its calming effects, it supports relaxation, sleep, and a healthy nervous system.
  3. Magnesium Taurate – Combines magnesium with taurine to support heart health and help regulate blood pressure while calming the nervous system.
  4. Magnesium Malate – Often used for energy production and muscle recovery; helpful in reducing fatigue and muscle discomfort.
  5. Magnesium Threonate – Uniquely able to cross the blood–brain barrier, this form supports memory, learning, and overall cognitive health.
  6. Magnesium Orotate – Supports cardiovascular health and cellular energy; commonly used for heart function and endurance.
  7. Magnesium Chloride – Best used topically (e.g., sprays or lotions); not recommended orally, but effective for muscle relaxation and skin absorption.
  8. Magnesium Sulfate – Commonly known as Epsom salt; ideal for baths to relieve sore muscles, reduce inflammation, and support detoxification.
  9. Magnesium Oxide – A less absorbable form with a strong laxative effect; commonly used in hospitals for short-term relief of constipation.
  10. Magnesium Carbonate – Helps neutralize stomach acid; often used as an antacid and supports digestive comfort.
  11. Magnesium Lactate – Gentle on the digestive system and easily absorbed; useful for individuals with sensitive stomachs.
  12. Magnesium Aspartate – Supports energy production and athletic performance; may help with chronic fatigue.
  13. Magnesium Lysinate – Combines magnesium with lysine for added immune support and calming benefits, especially helpful during stress or illness.
