ATA Mg® (Magnesium N-Acetyl Taurinate) is an innovative, patented form of magnesium produced by combining magnesium with acetyl-taurine, a natural metabolite of taurine. The acetylation of taurine facilitates greater magnesium transport across cell membranes, making magnesium N-acetyl taurinate one of the most intriguing yet underappreciated forms of supplemental magnesium [4]. 

In addition to being highly bioavailable, magnesium N-acetyl taurinate is a popular subject of recent research, evaluating its impact on cardiovascular function, nervous system function, ocular/vision health, and skeletal muscle recovery. [5, 6, 7]. 

Preliminary studies are promising and suggest that this specific form of magnesium helps regulate neurotransmitter activity and calm the nervous system [8].

Magtein® is an innovative, clinically studied magnesium salt that combines magnesium with threonic acid, a naturally occurring metabolite of ascorbic acid (vitamin C). 

Magnesium L-threonate is distinct from other forms of magnesium in that it has superior bioavailability across the blood-brain barrier; thus, it increases magnesium levels in the brain and cerebrospinal fluid more effectively than other forms of magnesium [9, 10, 11].

The increase in brain magnesium concentrations after taking magnesium L-threonate is consistently associated with improved synaptic density and plasticity in the hippocampus, which is critical for learning and memory [12, 13, 14]. 

Studies also indicate that this form of magnesium can support neurological health and function through multimodal mechanisms of action (e.g., enhancing mitochondrial density in neurons and bolstering glial cells) [15, 16, 17]. 

Sucrosomial® magnesium is the result of nanotechnology advances in recent years that led to the creation of “sucrosomes,” which are cell-like matrices comprised of phospholipids and sucrose esters.

 The sucrosome protects the encapsulated magnesium ions in a protective layer that passes through the gastrointestinal tract more efficiently, minimizing the degradation that often occurs with other forms of supplemental magnesium [18]. The phospholipid-based coating facilitates absorption into the bloodstream, making it more efficacious [19]. 

Another advantage of Sucrosomial® magnesium is that it can be taken in large doses without causing adverse GI effects.

One of the most bioavailable forms of magnesium is magnesium bisglycinate—a chelated form of magnesium where the mineral is bonded to glycine, an amino acid. This specific form is noted for its superior absorption and minimal gastrointestinal side effects compared to other forms, such as magnesium oxide [20]. 

The enhanced absorbability of magnesium bisglycinate can be attributed to glycine acting as a transport molecule, facilitating magnesium passage through the intestinal wall. As a result, a greater proportion of ingested magnesium is absorbed into the bloodstream, thereby increasing overall bioavailability.
