Magnesium is INCREDIBLE beyond just supporting our monthly cycles.
When clients need a true daily magnesium — not just one form for one symptom — BiOptimizers is the one I trust. It’s made for purity, potency, and full-spectrum support, using seven different forms of magnesium so you’re covered from muscle relaxation… to stress… to sleep… to digestion.
Most magnesium products only use 1–2 forms. That’s fine when we’re targeting something specific. But for general wellness, broad stress support, and filling the gaps most women have?
BiOptimizers takes the cake.
It delivers what your body can absorb, use, and feel — without fillers or junk.
These are the common signs of magnesium deficiency:
- Brain Fog
- Headaches
- Constipation
- Fatigue
- Poor Sleep Quality
- Muscle Spasms and cramping
- Pain and soreness
- Irregular heartbeat
- Numbness/Tingling
- Low Mood
So which one should you be using? Let’s break down the big ones:
Magnesium Glycinate
This is one of the most bio-available forms and the most gut-friendly (does not cause diarrhea).
It is the best for true magnesium deficiencies. This is my pick for helping with PMS and sleep. Start at 400mg before bed, and you can go upwards to 5mg per pound of body-weight.
Magnesium Malate
This is recommended for energy-related issues. Chronic fatigue, or depression. It has also been shown to provide benefits for blood sugar.
Magnesium L-Threonate
This has the most research around mental health and cognitive boosting abilities, not to mention neuroprotective effects against Alzheimer’s.
Magnesium Citrate
The is the most commonly found and used because it is low cost. This aids the most in bowel movements, especially constipation relief, and oxalate metabolism.
If you’re wanting something more for softening stools, I recommend:
Magnesium citrate variation is Magnesium CALM or ProSorb Powder (use code FITMOM for a discount on ProSorb - linked below).
Magnesium Chloride
This is the most stable form of magnesium and is especially good for the kidneys and detoxification. Chloride also combines in the gut to produce stomach acid, which is largely important for our health.
Sucrosomial Magnesium
This form of magnesium has higher absorption. It supports the immune system and bone health.*
Magnesium Orate
While it also may be helpful for maintaining cardiovascular health, magnesium orotate may also support metabolic processes.*
This makes it a favorite for athletes seeking recovery, energy, and performance support.*
Getting ALL of these forms of magnesium, in the optimum dose, may support several functions in your body.*
Magnesium Taurate
This is the form of magnesium that help support cardiovascular health*
One study noted: “The complex magnesium taurate may thus have considerable potential as a vascular-protective nutritional supplement.”
Then there are other forms, that I do not recommend, due to their low bioavailability to the body, and those include*: Magnesium Oxide, Sulfate, Aspartate, and Carbonate.*
In there added all our favorite brand and what we recommend to our clients. Take advantage of our discount and please don’t share this link with anyone.
