⁉️Which magnesium is best for insulin resistance?

Based on the studies we see a lot of the studies use inorganic salts of magnesium such as magnesium oxide, chloride and hydroxide - the reason why these magnesium supplements are commonly used is because they are inexpensive, have rapid absorption. Meaning they can cross the digestive tract quickly and get absorbed.

However they have poor bioavailability. Bioavailability refers to the ability of the substance to get into the general circulation and into the site where it can conduct its pharmacological actions.

Having high bioavailability is very important.

Magnesiums with high bioavailability include

✅ Magnesium salts:
- Magnesium citrate
- Magnesium lactate
- Magnesium Gluconate

✅ Magnesium Complex/chelates:
- Magnesium glycinate
- Magnesium malate
- Magnesium orotate
- Magnesium threonate
- Magnesium Aspartate

When choosing a magnesium for insulin resistance it is best to choose a supplement that has good bioavailability.

💊Typically dosing can be anywhere in between 250-300mg daily.
