Biologist and wellness expert Gary Brecka recently shared a breakdown of magnesium types, cautioning consumers that not all forms serve the same purpose—and that uninformed supplementation can be both ineffective and costly.

“Did you know not all magnesium is the same?” said Brecka in a post on X. He then outlined specific benefits associated with different forms:

• Magnesium Glycinate: Supports sleep and anxiety reduction.
• Magnesium Malate: Boosts energy and helps with pain.
• Magnesium Citrate: Aids digestion.
• Magnesium Threonate: Enhances brain function and memory.

Brecka emphasized that blindly selecting a magnesium supplement without understanding its intended effect often leads to wasted money and minimal results. Instead, he encourages personalized choices aligned with specific wellness goals.
