A popular product used by women is “Calm,” a highly absorbable blend of magnesium citrate when combined with water. A half-hour before bedtime, drink a cup of warm water with a teaspoon of powder (205 mg) mixed in. Magnesium is also available in pill form; the most effective dose is typically 200–400 mg. Another product, magnesium glycinate (240–360 mg), is a gentle form of magnesium for women sensitive to magnesium citrate or oxide because it is less likely to have a laxative effect.
Managing Pain in the Presence of Autoimmune Disease

Red blood cell (RBC) magnesium: Magnesium malate is preferred for muscle-related pain. Magnesium glycinate is preferred if muscle involvement is not a primary component of the patient’s symptoms but they have other symptoms of magnesium deficiency such as anxiety, insomnia, constipation, and blood sugar issues.36 However, proper caution in magnesium use should be taken in patients with cardiac or kidney dysfunction.
Micronutrient Supplementation and Ergogenesis — Minerals
Published in Luke Bucci, Nutrients as Ergogenic Aids for Sports and Exercise, 2020
Guidelines for magnesium supplementation (when known to be depleted) are 100 to 250 mg/d of magnesium from magnesium lactate, magnesium gluconate, magnesium glycinate, magnesium taurate, or magnesium chloride.

The following Mg compounds were used: magnesium threonate (Magceutics Inc., U.S.A.), magnesium citrate (Jost Chemical CO., U.S.A.), and magnesium glycinate (Innophos Nutrition, U.S.A.). The SC/BW juice extract containing 15.75 mg elemental Mg/g dry weight (1.575% w/w) was obtained from Standard Process Inc. (Palmyra, WI, U.S.A.). The Swiss chard and buckwheat used in this study are grown on the Standard Process Inc. organic farm in Wisconsin. The green leaves of the Swiss chard and whole buckwheat plant (aerial parts) are juiced and dried on site using Standard Process Inc. proprietary processes. The main micro and macronutrient content in one-gram dry weight of the SC/BW extract: fat (0.086 g), carbohydrate (0.83 g), protein (0.17 g), vitamin K1 (6.21 mcg), Calcium (3.45 mg), iron (1.03 mg), phosphorus (5.2 mg), and potassium (65.5 mg). All Mg compounds and SC/BW powder were dissolved in water and administered via oral gavage at a dose of 20 mg elemental Mg/kg twice per day (40 mg/kg/day).

Magnesium supplementation can correct for reduced intake, increased magnesium loss from poor absorption, or increased needs linked to chronic disease. However, supplementing magnesium in recommended or therapeutic doses can cause undesirable side effects if it is not absorbed well in the small intestine. Malabsorption may create an osmotic gradient in the colon, resulting in loose stools or diarrhea (1). Many cost-effective retail-grade supplements contain magnesium oxide or magnesium carbonate; however, bioavailability of these forms is very low and often results in negative gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms (8). Magnesium glycinate, threonate, and malate, found in more expensive physician-grade supplements, are magnesium salts of organic acids with higher bioavailability, increasing absorption and minimizing GI discomfort (8). Magnesium malate is a combination of magnesium and malic acid, a weak organic acid found in fruits and vegetables. This form of magnesium is highly soluble in the body and is therefore well absorbed (9).
