Solaray Magnesium Citrate is a moderately bioavailable form of magnesium that is often chosen as an alternative to oxide or sulfate. The vegetarian capsule format is convenient for daily intake regardless of the time of day.
Composition and dosage: what is in one capsule
Each capsule contains 400 mg of magnesium citrate. The recommended dosage is one capsule three times a day, preferably with meals. Thus, the daily dose is three capsules, and a package of 90 vcaps is enough for exactly 30 days of taking the full regimen.
The product does not contain artificial colors, preservatives, or allergens. The capsule shell is vegetarian (vcaps), making the supplement suitable for those who avoid gelatin.
How is citrate different from other forms of magnesium?
Magnesium citrate is a salt of magnesium and citric acid. Compared to magnesium oxide, it is more soluble in water and, accordingly, is more easily absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract. That is why the citrate form is often recommended for those who have experienced discomfort or have not had a noticeable effect from magnesium oxide.
Magnesium glycinate and malate have their advantages in certain situations, but citrate remains one of the most widely available and studied options for daily use.
How much magnesium do you need per day?
The recommended daily allowance of magnesium for adults ranges from 310-420 mg depending on gender and age. Three capsules of Solaray Magnesium Citrate 400mg provide magnesium from a supplement, which should be considered in conjunction with what a person gets from food - nuts, legumes, green leafy vegetables, whole grains contain magnesium in varying amounts.
Who is this format suitable for?
The 400 mg capsules are convenient for those who are already familiar with magnesium citrate and know the correct dosage. The “three times a day with meals” scheme evenly distributes the intake of the mineral throughout the day - this is easier to tolerate than a single large dose.
- Vegetarian casing - no animal gelatin
- Without artificial colors and preservatives
- 90 capsules - 30 days of full regimen
- Convenient capsule size for swallowing
When is it better to take it - in the morning or in the evening?
The manufacturer recommends taking it with meals, regardless of the time of day. Some people divide the dose between breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Taking a portion of the dose in the evening is practiced by those who notice that magnesium helps them relax before going to bed - but this is an individual reaction, not the claimed effect of the product.
