What is magnesium citrate used for?
Magnesium is involved in hundreds of enzymatic reactions in the body. It is necessary for protein synthesis, carbohydrate metabolism, normal muscle and heart function, and supports the absorption of calcium and potassium.
Magnesium citrate is often chosen as a source of magnesium in the daily diet - especially by those looking for a form with good tolerability. The citrate form differs from magnesium oxide in its higher solubility in water, which affects its digestibility.
- Supporting muscle and heart function
- Participation in protein synthesis and carbohydrate metabolism
- Promoting the absorption of calcium and potassium
- Daily supplementation of the diet with magnesium
How much magnesium citrate should I take per day?
The manufacturer recommends 1 capsule 1-3 times a day - that is, from 150 to 450 mg of magnesium citrate per day. The specific amount depends on individual needs; for questions about dosage, you should consult a doctor or nutritionist.
The capsules are small and easy to swallow - this format is suitable for those who do not like powders or chewable tablets. The capsules are gelatin, so they are not suitable for vegetarians.
How is the citrate form different from other forms of magnesium?
Different forms of magnesium do vary in solubility and tolerability. Magnesium citrate, an organic salt, is more soluble in water than inorganic forms (such as the oxide). Bisglycinate is bound to the amino acid glycine and is also considered to be well absorbed, but is more expensive. Malate and threonate are other organic forms with their own characteristics.
Magnesium citrate is one of the most common forms on the dietary supplement market: its affordable price, wide availability, and many years of use make it a convenient choice for your daily diet.

A large bottle of 180 capsules is beneficial for long-term use: according to the scheme, 1 capsule per day is enough for half a year.
The format is not suitable for vegetarians and vegans due to the gelatin shell. For children and pregnant women - only after consulting a doctor.
