Magnesium is involved in over 300 vital functions in the body—from energy production and muscle function to mood balance and better sleep. But not all magnesium is created equal.

In this recent article for Ethnos Wellness, Eleana Papacharalambous, Health & Wellness Consultant and scientific advisor to Obiotique, breaks down the most common types of magnesium, what each is best for, and how to take it depending on your needs.

Highlights include:

• Citrate for constipation and deficiency

• Glycinate for anxiety and relaxation

• Malate for fatigue and muscle support

• Oxide for indigestion

• Sulfate (Epsom salts) for pregnancy and detox
