| Chronic Pain: Magnesium Glycinate has been used by some allopathic physicians, naturopathic and Functional Medicine doctors due to the calming effect of the amino acid Glycine. Because both Magnesium and Glycine are well transported in the colon, they rarely cause diarrhea. The combination is both calming and relaxing. No wonder why it is used for chronic pain! |  Epson Salt Baths contain Magnesium Sulfate which is readily absorbed through the skin helping with sore muscles. Have you ever done an Epsom Salt bath after a heavy day at work? | Fibromyalgia: Magnesium Malate would be my first choice for these patients. I am one of them. This combo is less well-known but has been studied for use in this condition. Since malate is a substrate in the cellular energy cycle, it can help improve ATP production ( the energy molecule). There is some preliminary evidence that it may reduce muscle pain and tender points in fibromyalgia patients. |
There are many other bases for the magnesium , such as Magnesium Citrate ( sometimes used for stone prevention), Magnesium Hydroxide (Milk of Magnesia). Therefore there is a difference between them and used for different purposes. Be aware!
Always consult your physician before you use Magnesium supplements.
