The basics

Magnesium citrate is a potent supplement designed to increase magnesium levels in the body. Bound with citric acid to aid absorption, it is well-regarded for its high bioavailability, making it an efficient choice for those seeking to benefit from magnesium's extensive health benefits.

It addresses the widespread issue of low magnesium levels attributed to the mineral's decreased presence in our soils and excessive loss caused by alcohol, salt, and coffee consumption. Magnesium is essential for numerous bodily functions, including heart, muscle, and brain function and bone formation.

The Science

Magnesium citrate works primarily by delivering highly bioavailable magnesium to the body. Once absorbed, magnesium participates in over 300 enzymatic reactions, which are crucial for various biological processes like energy production, DNA synthesis, and muscle contraction.

As a mild osmotic laxative, magnesium citrate can pull water into the intestines when consumed with a large glass of water. This process increases stool bulk, softens it, and facilitates its passage, thus alleviating constipation.

Furthermore, magnesium plays a role in managing stomach acid levels, potentially alleviating heartburn and indigestion symptoms. It is also essential in balancing the interaction of calcium and Vitamin D3 for proper bone formation.

How will I know its working?

Regular use of magnesium citrate may result in improved digestive health, including relief from constipation and symptoms of indigestion. Additionally, increased relaxation, better muscle function, and enhanced bone health might be observed.

When to take it?

Take 1 capsule 1-2 times per day daily with food and water, unless specified otherwise on the sachet or by your nutrition expert.
