Magnesium Citrate is often used for its osmotic effect to relieve constipation, as it draws water into the intestines. Magnesium Glycinate is bound to an amino acid, which makes it easier for the body to absorb into the bloodstream for systemic benefits like muscle and nerve support while being much gentler on the stomach.
