Why we don't use glycinate (even though TikTok loves it): Yes, magnesium glycinate is super popular right now. But it's not the only form that absorbs well, and what works in a capsule also has to work in a bowl of ramen. Here's how different forms compare:

• Magnesium Oxide: Packs a lot of magnesium into a small amount of powder, but does not absorb as well as citrate.³⁰
• Magnesium Glycinate: Good absorption and often chosen for gentle-on-the-stomach supplements.
• Magnesium Citrate: Absorbs better than oxide in human studies and gives us the magnesium we need in much less powder than our old gluconate.³⁰

We chose citrate because it works for the nutrition and leaves more room for the broth to taste good.³⁰
