Magnesium (Citrate)

100 mg, 100 vegetarian capsules

Item Catalog Number: 01682EU

NON GMO Product
Many Americans do not obtain adequate amounts of magnesium in their diets.1

Magnesium is one of the body’s most important minerals. It is required as a cofactor in hundreds of enzymatic processes within cells.2 It helps maintain normal muscle and nerve function, keeps heart rhythm steady, promotes healthy cardiovascular function, supports a healthy immune system, and keeps bones strong. Magnesium also helps maintain blood sugar and blood pressure levels already within normal range, and it is known to be involved in energy metabolism and protein synthesis.3,4

Magnesium is a major factor in relaxing the smooth muscles within the blood vessels, thereby reducing peripheral vascular resistance and promoting a healthy cardiovascular system.5-7 Magnesium also affects circulating levels of norepinephrine and the synthesis of serotonin and nitric oxide.8-10

Magnesium positively influences the bone mineral matrix and its ability to metabolize minerals needed for repair and rebuilding.11,12 Scientific literature documents the need for a wide range of minerals, including calcium and magnesium, that are vital to maintaining strong, healthy bones.

Moreover, there is strong evidence that dietary magnesium intake and supplementation improves the metabolic profile.13-15 Magnesium has been shown to beneficially impact insulin resistance, serum lipid profiles, inflammation, endothelial function, oxidative stress and platelet aggregability.16

The typical dose of elemental magnesium is 100 to 350 mg a day. Higher doses of 300 mg to 548 mg daily have been shown to help support healthy blood pressure.17,18

Scientific Sources

What is Magnesium Citrate and why is this form superior?

Magnesium Citrate is a highly bioavailable form of magnesium bound to citric acid, offering superior absorption compared to common forms like magnesium oxide. The citrate form dissolves easily in water and is readily absorbed in the intestines, ensuring your body can actually utilize the magnesium you consume. This form is particularly gentle on the digestive system while providing therapeutic amounts of elemental magnesium. Citrate also supports healthy pH balance and may help with occasional constipation, making it an excellent all-around choice for magnesium supplementation.

What are the primary health benefits of magnesium supplementation?

Magnesium is involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions throughout the body, making it essential for numerous health functions. It supports cardiovascular health by helping maintain healthy blood pressure and heart rhythm. Magnesium is crucial for bone health, working synergistically with calcium and vitamin D. It supports healthy muscle function, reducing occasional cramps and promoting relaxation. The mineral plays a vital role in energy production at the cellular level and supports healthy nervous system function. Magnesium also promotes restful sleep, helps manage stress responses, and supports healthy blood sugar metabolism.

How common is magnesium deficiency?

Magnesium deficiency is surprisingly common, with studies suggesting nearly half of adults consume less than the recommended daily amount. Modern agricultural practices have depleted magnesium in soil, reducing levels in foods. Food processing further decreases magnesium content. Certain medications including proton pump inhibitors and diuretics can deplete magnesium stores. High stress, excessive caffeine or alcohol consumption, and intense physical activity all increase magnesium needs. Older adults absorb magnesium less efficiently. Signs of deficiency can include muscle cramps, fatigue, poor sleep, and occasional mood concerns, making supplementation beneficial for many people.

When is the best time to take Magnesium Citrate?

Timing depends on your primary health goals. For sleep support, take magnesium 1-2 hours before bedtime, as it promotes relaxation and supports healthy sleep patterns. For muscle relaxation after exercise, take post-workout. For digestive regularity, evening dosing works well. For general health maintenance, split doses throughout the day with meals to enhance absorption and minimize any digestive effects. Magnesium citrate absorbs well with or without food, though taking with meals may reduce the mild laxative effect some people experience. Consistency matters more than timing, so choose a schedule you can maintain daily.

Can I take Magnesium Citrate with other supplements?

Magnesium citrate is generally safe to combine with most supplements and actually enhances the effectiveness of calcium and vitamin D for bone health. However, timing matters for optimal absorption. Take magnesium separately from high-dose calcium supplements (space by 2-3 hours) as they can compete for absorption. Avoid taking with zinc or iron supplements simultaneously for the same reason. Magnesium can be taken with omega-3s, vitamins, and most other supplements. If taking prescription medications, particularly antibiotics or bisphosphonates, consult your healthcare provider about proper spacing as magnesium can affect absorption of certain medications.
