In short: Magnesium is an essential mineral for the body, found naturally mainly in nuts and seeds, legumes, whole grains and green leafy vegetables. It contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, to normal muscle function and to normal functioning of the nervous system; in food supplements it comes in the form of citrate, bisglycinate, oxide and other salts.

Why Does the Body Need Magnesium?
Magnesium is one of the macrominerals, meaning the body needs it in relatively large amounts. According to the health claims authorized in the European Union, magnesium:
- contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue;
- contributes to electrolyte balance;
- contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism;
- contributes to normal functioning of the nervous system;
- contributes to normal muscle function;
- contributes to normal protein synthesis;
- contributes to normal psychological function;
- contributes to the maintenance of normal bones;
- contributes to the maintenance of normal teeth;
- has a role in the process of cell division.
The claim on the reduction of tiredness is also authorized for vitamin B12, and the claim on normal bones is also authorized for vitamin D and vitamin K.
What Forms of Magnesium Are There?
In food supplements, magnesium always comes as a compound, a so-called salt. The most common ones are:
- Magnesium citrate: an organic salt formed with citric acid, common in both liquid and powder products.
- Magnesium bisglycinate: a so-called chelated form bound to two molecules of the amino acid glycine, mainly in capsules and tablets.
- Magnesium oxide and hydroxide: inorganic compounds that contain a lot of elemental magnesium relative to their weight, so the desired amount fits into a smaller capsule.
- Magnesium sulfate: an inorganic salt found in combination products.
- Magnesium pidolate, lactate and malate: other organic salts, often combined with other forms.
Some manufacturers blend several magnesium salts or use liposomal technology. The authorized claims apply to magnesium in general, not to a specific salt, so we do not rank the forms by effect.

Who May Want to Pay Attention to Their Magnesium Intake?
- people who exercise regularly or do physically demanding work;
- people going through a busy, hectic period who want to supplement their diet;
- people who rarely eat nuts and seeds, legumes, whole grains and green leafy vegetables;
- people following a vegan diet who are looking for a plant-based product labeled vegan.
During pregnancy or breastfeeding, with a chronic illness, or if you take medication regularly, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice about magnesium supplementation as well.
What to Look for When Buying Magnesium
- Amount of elemental magnesium: what matters on the label is how many mg of elemental magnesium one serving provides, not the total weight of the magnesium salt.
- NRV%: check what percentage of the nutrient reference value one serving covers, and do not exceed the recommended daily dose.
- Form: citrate, bisglycinate, oxide or a combination of these – choose based on the format and your personal preference.
- Format: capsules, drinkable ampoules, powder or drink powder; the liquid form is convenient for those who do not like swallowing capsules.
- Additional ingredients and labels: vitamin B6, other minerals, vegan, gluten-free and sugar-free labels, sweeteners.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which form of magnesium is best?
There is no single form that is best for everyone. The authorized claims apply to magnesium in general; when choosing, consider the format (capsule or liquid), the amount of elemental magnesium, the additional ingredients and your personal preference.
What does elemental magnesium mean?
It is the amount of magnesium actually present in a magnesium salt. Only part of the weight of a magnesium salt is magnesium, so it is worth comparing the elemental magnesium value in mg and the NRV% on the label.
What is liposomal magnesium?
It is a product in which the magnesium salts are packaged into phospholipid vesicles called liposomes. This is a manufacturing technology; you can read more about it on our glossary page about liposomal vitamins.
How much magnesium should I take per day?
Please follow the dosage stated on the packaging and do not exceed the recommended daily dose. For personalized advice, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
