What Type of Magnesium is Best for Hair Loss?

When it comes to choosing the right type of magnesium for hair loss, it's important to consider the following options:

1. Magnesium Citrate

Magnesium citrate is a popular form of magnesium that is well-absorbed by the body. It has been suggested that magnesium citrate may support healthy hair follicles and promote hair growth due to its ability to improve blood circulation.

2. Magnesium Glycinate

Magnesium glycinate is known for its gentle effects on the digestive system. While there is limited direct research on its impact on hair growth, magnesium's overall role in supporting bodily functions may indirectly contribute to healthier hair.

3. Magnesium Threonate

Magnesium threonate is known for its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, making it valuable for brain health. While not extensively studied for hair growth, its potential benefits for overall well-being could indirectly promote healthy hair.
