Best Ways to Supplement with Magnesium

Deciding which type of magnesium to be supplementing with can be challenging, so let me make it easy for you! Most supplements on the market have very low absorption rates and cause a laxative effect. One of the most recommended Mg supplements by doctors is Mg Oxide. It has an absorption rate of 4%.

One of favorite brands is Pristine: Magnesium Bicarbonate is has liquid form that can be taken directly or mixed into another liquid & a powder form that can be placed in carbonated water. This brand combines 2 very important substances for optimal health; first: magnesium & secondly: bicarbonates. Bicarbonates enter your stomach, react with the acids, and create carbon dioxide as the byproduct. Carbon dioxide is critical to keeping the body in an alkaline state. It is excellent for anyone struggling with cardiovascular diseases. It increases the release of oxygen from hemoglobin & dilates your blood vessels, sending more blood and oxygen to your tissues.

Another bioavailable oral supplementation recommendation is Remag Liquid Mg

It is also a more affordable option in comparison to PristineHydro, & has a very high absorption rate. However, it has a VERY strong mineral taste. I personally was only able to consume when mixed within a smoothie.

Although I prefer taking oral liquid forms of magnesium so I know exactly how much I am acquiring, magnesium is more bioavailable if used transdermally, meaning through the skin. Which is my preferred method for my children. Magnesium bath soaks are extremely effective using magnesium salt flakes

Another way to acquire magnesium transdermally is using Ancient Mineral spray

(note: this spray does sting, so for children it is best to use on the bottoms of their feet) .

There is also an affordable pill form that I personally have not tried, but have friends that feel it is effective: Magnesium Breakthrough
