Which magnesium form absorbs best?

Grade BB: solid human data. Forms: 3+ human studies. Comparisons: one randomized head-to-head, or matched single-form evidence from 2+ studies per form. All grades are drafts pending reviewer sign-off.Draft — pending reviewer review

We found 81 studies with usable absorption data for this supplement, 37 of them in people; every value below is copied from its paper and cited.

Citrate measured higher than glycinate / bisglycinate in 1 human head-to-head study we have (grade B, draft).

Citrate and oxide showed no significant difference in 1 human head-to-head study we have (grade B, draft).

Indirect comparisons (across studies)

Each form's values come from different human studies that tested one form only. Rows are compared only when parameter, analyte, matrix, fed/fasted state, single vs repeated dosing, AUC interval and units all match, and baseline correction matches where reported (a value with baseline correction not reported is labeled and capped at grade D). Serum and plasma are treated as the same matrix. Ranges are the lowest and highest printed values; nothing is averaged or pooled. Conditions a paper does not state are recorded as NR and never matched.

Indirect comparison: weighs less than head-to-head evidence; comparisons using values with baseline correction not reported are capped at C. The combined grade for named pairs is shown in the head-to-head section. draft — pending reviewer (Dr. Colin Reily).

AUC interval (from parameter_detail), baseline correction, units (exact). No pooling/averaging: per-form
ranges are min–max of printed values. Analyte for minerals/B12 is classed as total element vs isotope/radiotracer; units compared after removing spaces/separators only; IV arms excluded; serum and plasma treated as the same matrix; curated magnesium v1 rows (mapped from stated conditions only, NR otherwise, deduped against the bundle) are included; baseline correction NR is treated as unknown (may match corrected or uncorrected sets; labeled and capped at C); for % absorption endpoints an unreported baseline correction is treated as not applicable.

Magnesium cost per mg calculator

Educational information about published research; not medical advice. Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. Talk to a clinician before changing supplements, especially if pregnant, nursing or on medication.

Enter what you pay. We calculate cost per mg, and cost per mg absorbed only as a range and only where a cited, reviewer-verified absorption range exists for that form.

Cost per mg (from your label): —

Cost per mg absorbed: not available for this form yet. No reviewer-verified, cited absorption range is in our database, and we won't estimate one.

This tool compares prices using published ranges. It does not estimate how much you personally absorb and does not recommend a dose. Absorption varies with the person, the dose, food and the product. Not medical advice.
