Magnesium is a cofactor in more than 300 enzyme systems that regulate diverse biochemical reactions in the body, including protein synthesis, muscle and nerve function, blood glucose control and blood pressure regulation. Magnesium comes in either organic or inorganic forms. Organic forms include citrate, aspartate, orotate, fumarate and amino acid chelates. Inorganic forms include oxide, chloride and carbonate. Organic forms of magnesium are generally better absorbed and produce fewer gastrointestinal disturbances when compared to the inorganic forms of magnesium. Magnesium Orotate the heart magnesium.

Organic forms include citrate, aspartate, orotate, fumarate and amino acid chelates. Inorganic forms include oxide, chloride and carbonate. Organic forms of magnesium are generally better absorbed and produce fewer gastrointestinal disturbances when compared to the inorganic forms of magnesium. A study comparing the bioavailability of three magnesium forms, citrate, amino acid chelate and oxide showed magnesium citrate to have...
