What is the difference between magnesium glycinate and magnesium malate? Which should I choose?
Magnesium Malate combines magnesium with malic acid. This combination can be particularly helpful for those who looking foralic acid may help support energy production in the cells. This form contains more magnesium per 2.5 gram serving than does our Magnesium Glycinate. Our Magnesium Glycinate is magnesium bound to two glycine molecules and is an amino acid chelate. This form of magnesium dissolves more quickly and rarely causes adverse gastrointestinal side effects often seen with other forms of magnesium when supplemented in higher amounts. Consult with your healthcare professional to determine what form of magnesium might be right for you.*
Why is citric acid used in Magnesium Glycinate Powder?
Citric acid is used to influence the pH and the flavor profile of the powder (while the powder is "unflavored," magnesium compounds are quite basic, and this can cause magnesium products to leave an unpleasant taste or sensation in the mouth). The citric acid used in the current formulation is originally derived from corn, with no corn allergen remaining in the finished product.
