Magnesium Taurate Benefits
https://youtu.be/G9KlwFf81dQ Magnesium taurate = magnesium + taurine (an amino-sulfonic acid). The “extra” proposed benefits vs other magnesium forms come mostly from taurine’s physiology (vascular, cardiac, metabolic), layered on top of magnesium’s well-known roles (muscle/nerve function, vascular tone, etc.). Research-backed potential benefits of magnesium taurate Direct human trials on magnesium taurate specifically are limited, but there’s supportive evidence from: - Magnesium supplementation overall → modest average reductions in blood pressure in many trials/meta-analyses. AHA Journals+1 - Taurine supplementation → RCT evidence for lowering clinic and ambulatory blood pressure in people with high-normal BP, plus newer meta-analytic evidence for cardiometabolic markers. AHA Journals+1 - Mechanistic/adjacent evidence suggesting taurine + magnesium may be relevant to vascular function and hypertension biology (though not proof that “taurate” is superior for everyone). PMC+1 So, the best-supported “use-case” logic for magnesium taurate is:cardiovascular support (especially blood pressure/vascular tone) where both magnesium sufficiency and taurine’s BP/vascular effects are plausibly relevant. Is magnesium taurate “better” than glycinate, L-threonate, or citrate? It’s “better” only if your goal matches what taurine adds. Evidence does not clearly show magnesium taurate is universally more bioavailable or a better magnesium repletion strategy than other well-absorbed forms. How the common forms compare (research-informed, goal-based) Magnesium citrate - Often considered well absorbed among magnesium salts and commonly used when constipation is also a goal (more GI/osmotic effect). Organic salts tend to outperform inorganic forms like oxide in bioavailability discussions. PMC+1
