Some people are more sensitive to certain magnesium forms. Magnesium glycinate will absorb through the amino acid/peptide transporters in the GI tract, whereas magnesium L-threonate will use the GLUT transporters. This is because glycine and threonic acid absorb differently, so you can try L-threonate instead. You might have altered amino acid transporters, which is causing the magnesium to not absorb before the coordinate bonds are broken in the GI tract. Then you have our Micromag, which is pretty much the only magnesium form I personally use now. That is magnesium encased by a fatty acid sucrose ester. Our Micromag absorbs not only through both para-cellular and trans-cellular absorption, but also through active transport at M-cells into the lymphatic system. If you want the absolute best absorption with least likelihood of stomach upset, Micromag is the way to go.
