What's the difference between magnesium glycinate, magnesium bisglycinate, and magnesium citrate?

Magnesium glycinate and magnesium bisglycinate are terms that are often used interchangeably for the same compound, as both refer to magnesium bound to two glycine molecules. This form tends to be gentle on digestion and supportive of relaxation. Magnesium citrate is a form of magnesium bound to citric acid and is often used for bowel regularity because it draws water into the intestines to keep things moving smoothly. The bisglycinate/glycinate form is typically preferred when the goal is relaxation and nervous system support without gastrointestinal effects.*
