What's the difference between regular magnesium supplements and magnesium citrate and magnesuim chloride?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Different salts: The usual magnesium supplements are oxide salts. Mag citrate works as a laxative. The different salts have different effects on the body. If you want to take a supplement, you would take magnesium oxide. Good luck!
