Magnesium Sources & Forms

Here’s a chart on the different types of Magnesium and what they’re good for.
The different forms are based on what the Magnesium is made with and therefore brings out different properties and effects.
What they can support and how bioavailable they are, varies significantly.
I’ve noticed the need to ramp up my Mg since teaching classes again. There are a few minerals and nutrients we burn out of faster when we exercise. Mg is one of them. If you’ve noticed PMS, Restless legs, Ringing in the ears, Tremors, Vertigo, Anxious or depressed feelings, or trouble sleeping, you might need to look at this mineral.
Naturally, you can find it in;
- Green leafy’s
- Cacao
- Banana
- Almonds
- Figs
- Lima beans
- Eggs
- Seeds
- Mineral water
- Kelp
My rule of thumb is, if it’s a significant deficiency, then supplement to get the levels up and then rely on diet thereafter. We never want to get nutrients from a jar long term. We need all the cofactors that are naturally aligned in the food nature provides us.
