Magnesium Matters: Exploring the Best Types and Their Benefits

April 15, 2025

When it comes to essential nutrients, magnesium is often the unsung hero. Involved in over 300 biochemical processes in the body, magnesium supports everything from energy production and muscle function to better sleep and mental clarity. Yet, many of us don’t get enough of it.

At Nutracene, we've chosen to include three highly bioavailable forms of magnesium in our premium supplement — Magnesium Glycinate, Magnesium Malate, and Magnesium Citrate — each with its own unique benefits. Let’s explore why magnesium is so important, and what makes these specific forms the gold standard.

Why Do We Need Magnesium?

Magnesium plays a critical role in:

Energy production (ATP synthesis)
Nervous system regulation
Muscle contraction and relaxation
Bone health
Mood and mental well-being
Blood sugar balance
Heart rhythm and cardiovascular health

Signs of deficiency may include fatigue, anxiety, muscle cramps, poor sleep, and even migraines.

The Best Forms of Magnesium – And Why We Use Them

Not all magnesium supplements are created equal. Some forms are poorly absorbed or may cause digestive issues. That's why Nutracene’s magnesium supplement only uses forms that are gentle on the stomach and highly bioavailable – meaning your body can actually use them effectively.

1. Magnesium Glycinate – The Calming Mineral

What is it?
Magnesium bound to glycine, a calming amino acid.
Benefits:
- Promotes relaxation and better sleep
- Helps reduce anxiety and stress
- Supports muscle recovery and reduces cramping
- Gentle on the digestive system
Ideal for: Anyone dealing with stress, poor sleep, or tension.

2. Magnesium Malate – The Energy Booster

What is it?
A compound of magnesium and malic acid, which is found naturally in fruits like apples.
Benefits:
- Supports cellular energy production (great for fatigue)
- Helps reduce muscle pain and soreness
- A favorite for people with chronic fatigue or fibromyalgia
Ideal for: Those who feel tired often or need extra support for muscle performance and energy.

3. Magnesium Citrate – The Gut-Friendly Choice

What is it?
Magnesium combined with citric acid.
Benefits:
- Known for its high absorption rate
- Gently supports digestive regularity
- Helps maintain healthy magnesium levels for overall wellness
Ideal for: Anyone who wants a well-rounded magnesium supplement with bonus digestive support.

Why a Blend is Better

By combining Glycinate, Malate, and Citrate, Nutracene’s magnesium supplement delivers a balanced spectrum of benefits:

Calm your mind and body
Boost your daily energy
Support muscles, digestion, and stress resilience

It’s an all-in-one solution that goes beyond basic magnesium.

Final Thoughts

Whether you’re looking to sleep better, feel more energized, reduce anxiety, or support your muscles, magnesium could be the missing link. And with Nutracene’s carefully formulated blend of Glycinate, Malate, and Citrate, you're not just topping up your levels — you’re optimizing your health from the inside out.

They are working wonders for me

These have been my best find this year!I’ve been suffering from stomach pain for the past couple of years and despite tests from the doctors, all my results come back normal so I’ve been at a loss as to how to help myself.When I saw these I thought I’d try them as I don’t like probiotic drinks.I’m not a person that has patience with supplements as they’re more a long term prevention rather than a quick fix…. But i can honestly say, within a week of taking these probiotics, my stomach felt better and now 3 weeks in, I haven’t had a stomach pain!The tablets are quite large and if you have difficulty swallowing pills, these may not be for you, due to their size.I am overjoyed and of course will continue buying these for the foreseeable future.They are a little pricey and if you take two a day, will only last a month but for me, they’re proving to be so beneficial that they’re worth every penny!

Good - but not necessarily the best value option available.

I have tried quite a few probiotics and it has to be said that there is an element of "trial and error" involved in finding the best ones for you.A particular formulation that works wonderfully for one person may not work as effectively for someone else.The key starting point for everyone should be to make sure that you select a product from a reputable source with good quality and provenance credentials - On that score, this product from NUTRACENE ticks the right boxes.This particular product requires you to take two capsules per day. At two tablets a day this pack equates to a 30 day supply.At the current price of £32.99 for 60 capsules these work out at around £1.10 per day, which is on the costly side when compared with other similar quality probiotics on the market. I have tried a number of probiotic supplements that come in around the 60p per day mark, so I would consider that a reasonable benchmark for good quality probiotics.Ultimately, the most important factor is whether the probiotics do the job they are intended to do. These have worked pretty well for me. I certainly haven't had any adverse reaction (unsettled stomach, etc) and my system has been reasonably regular.However, the high daily cost would put me off buying this product in future.I hope you find these comments helpful.

Tumeric and boswellia supplement

Excellent supplement.Works well for me.I was taking another Tumeric supplement but wasn't finding it effective so decided to try these.Noticed a difference with pain relief quite rapidly.This also has the blend that I find really effective, tumeric and boswellia.I have started by taking just one capsule and that works really well.No side effects or upset at all.Would recommend and repurchase.
