GAL Magnesium L Lactate

Navigating the Complexities of Magnesium Supplements: A Guide

Understanding magnesium supplements can be challenging, especially when labels don’t always reflect the true form of magnesium they contain. Many products labeled as containing organic forms of magnesium may only partially include the specified form, leading to issues such as diarrhea due to their partially reacted state. Less expensive, non-fully reacted versions tend to have higher elemental magnesium levels, making them a more economical but potentially less effective choice.

Key Considerations for Choosing a Magnesium Supplement

Many manufacturers unknowingly select less expensive magnesium compounds with higher magnesium content but lower absorption. To assess magnesium supplement quality, it’s helpful to understand the typical elemental magnesium percentages in fully reacted forms:

Magnesium malate: 6 – 12% (Note: Monomagnesium malate is fully reacted, while dimagnesium malate is not)
Magnesium bisglycinate: 12 – 14%
Magnesium citrate: 14 – 16%
Magnesium ascorbate: 6 – 17%
Magnesium L-lactate: 12 – 13%

When assessing a magnesium supplement, consider the total weight of a capsule or tablet, including excipients and the capsule shell, which should not exceed 1000 mg. For example, a magnesium malate product claiming to contain 200 mg of magnesium per capsule is likely misleading since fully reacted magnesium malate cannot exceed 12% elemental magnesium. Using a jewelry scale to weigh a capsule and comparing it to expected magnesium percentages can help, though some non-fully reacted compounds may have similar magnesium content.

Finally, be cautious with misleading labels where magnesium content is exaggerated, often referring to the total magnesium compound rather than the actual elemental magnesium percentage. Understanding these nuances is crucial when selecting an effective and reliable magnesium supplement,
