The form“Why Magnesium Malate — not Magnesium Taurate or Magnesium Bisglycinate?”Evidence Moderate evidence

Magnesium Malate has moderate human evidence for this outcome.

  • Magnesium MalateThe pick

    Moderate evidence · 400 mg

    Magnesium chelated to malic acid, a Krebs-cycle intermediate; a well-tolerated form often chosen for energy support and muscle fatigue rather than as a laxative.

  • Magnesium Taurate

    Moderate evidence · 600 mg

    Magnesium chelated to taurine; taurine's calming, cardiovascular properties make this form a popular pick for heart health and blood pressure alongside magnesium repletion.

  • Magnesium Bisglycinate

    Moderate evidence · 315 mg

    Chelated magnesium bound to glycine. Best-absorbed common form and gentle on digestion - the default first pick for sleep latency.
