Video walkthrough coming soon
Magnesium is the most deficient mineral in modern adults — and the most misunderstood. The form you choose decides where it lands in your body. Here's how we match form to root cause inside Foundation and Concierge protocols.
What you'll learn
- Why magnesium oxide (the cheap stuff) is ~4% absorbed and mostly a laxative
- Glycinate for sleep, anxiety, and nervous system regulation
- L-threonate is the only form that crosses the blood-brain barrier (brain fog, memory)
- Malate for ATP production, fibromyalgia pain, and morning fatigue
- Citrate for chronic constipation — short-term, not a forever solution
- Why we often stack 2–3 forms instead of taking one mega-dose
- RBC magnesium vs serum testing — and why your 'normal' labs are lying
