Magnesium is stocked in very different formats at Artisanal Australia, from oral powders and capsules to topical oils, gels, lotions and bath flakes. Start with how you want to use it, then compare the magnesium form and label details within that format.
Artisanal Australia is a family-owned Australian business established in 2016. We focus on clear product information and practical comparisons rather than treating every magnesium product as interchangeable.
Oral magnesium: compare the form
Current products include formats identified as magnesium glycinate, magnesium citrate, magnesium L-threonate and multi-source magnesium blends. Some blends combine several forms in one product. For example, Switch Nutrition Multi-Mag Perform currently lists citrate, glycinate, malate, acetyl taurinate, orotate and pyroglutamate, providing 320mg elemental magnesium per 5g serve.
When comparing oral products, check the elemental magnesium per serve where the manufacturer provides it, rather than comparing only the total weight of the magnesium compound. Also compare serving size, servings per pack, format and any other ingredients in the formula.
Topical magnesium: compare the format
Oils, sprays, gels, lotions and bath flakes are different product formats from oral supplements. We keep those pathways distinct because oral serving metrics such as elemental magnesium per scoop do not translate directly to topical products.
