Magnesium Oxide, on the other hand, is one of the hardest forms to unplug - hence it is not absorbed effectively. Magnesium citrate is one of the easier forms to unplug thereby allowing easier absorption. Let's follow the analogy of the plug/unplugged - some plugs as we know are harder to pull out than others - if we compare this to the mineral world this would equal a 'strong bond'. For a mineral to be ionic, it means there are ions readily available to attach to a carrier. Now for our bodies to be able to absorb the magnesium it needs to be able to detach (unplug) the magnesium from the 'carrier' eg the citrate and then get that magnesium ion absorbed (plugged) into your body. The carrier can be an oxide, malate, citrate etc. It is important to understand ionic magnesium to understand the value of MAG365 - all minerals (including magnesium) have to be attached to a carrier to be transported into our bodies. The sweet deal here is the absorption this creates in our bodies - it gets transported to our cells nice and fast like on a superjet! Dissolving in water too also enhances absorption in the gut.
When you put your teaspoon of powder into a glass and add water these two ingredients will make ionic magnesium citrate. My preference for Magnesium Citrate is MAG365 - firstly it is made up of Magnesium Carbonate that comes from seawater and citric acid from non-GMO Beetroot. Read back over the prior two articles to refresh your mind in terms of all things Magnesium - one of the most important points to remember is that Magnesium cannot be absorbed on its own but needs to be combined with another molecule -hence the twinning that you see in all the various sources of Magnesium. The two I work with mostly and receive amazing feedback on are - in oral form Magnesium Citrate & Magnesium Bisglycinate and topical - Magnesium Lotion. The last article outlined the various types of Magnesium available in supplement form. She literally was ticking all the symptoms and it took her some time to get to the bottom of what was wrong.when she did and started eating more magnesium foods and taking a supplement she said in her own words 'it was like a shadow was lifted off me and I became myself again'.Īnyone in Perimenopause might feel this at some point and in my view its important to rule out magnesium as a deficiency on your path to optimum health.
