Magnesium citrate: what is it used for?
Magnesium is a mineral involved in hundreds of enzymatic reactions in the body. The citrate form is one of the most common in supplements: it dissolves well in water and is usually well tolerated when taken daily.
Magnesium is involved in the functioning of the nervous system and the transmission of nerve impulses, in muscle function during everyday activity, in energy metabolism and enzymatic processes associated with the formation of ATP. Additionally, it maintains electrolyte balance together with calcium, potassium and sodium.
The supplement is often chosen during periods of increased physical or mental stress, with an active lifestyle, or simply to more systematically maintain a nutrient balance in the diet.
How is citrate different from other forms of magnesium?
There are several common forms on the market: oxide, citrate, glycinate, malate, l-threonate. Oxide is the cheapest but less soluble. Citrate is a mid-priced form with good solubility and prevalence in clinical studies. Glycinate and malate are milder options that are sometimes better tolerated by sensitive stomachs.
Different forms of magnesium may have different tolerability depending on the individual. Magnesium citrate is a standard choice for daily intake as an additional source of the mineral in the diet.
How much magnesium citrate should I take per day?
According to Stark Pharm instructions - 2 level scoops (1600 mg of powder, of which 240 mg of elemental magnesium) once a day. The powder is stirred in a glass of water until completely dissolved. The recommended course is 4 weeks, repeated if necessary.
240 mg of magnesium per serving is about 57-64% of the recommended daily intake for adults (depending on gender and age). If you already get magnesium from food or other supplements, this is worth considering when choosing your dosage.
Who is the soluble format suitable for?
The powder form is convenient in several situations. First, when tablets or capsules are inconvenient - for example, when swallowing is difficult or simply due to personal preference. Second, when flexibility in dosage is needed: the powder allows you to measure the exact amount with a measuring spoon. Third, for those who already have a habit of a morning or evening "vitamin" drink - the powder easily fits into this ritual.
The format is also convenient for regular course intake: 125 servings in one package means you don't need to replenish your supply often.
Storage conditions and important information
Store in a dry place, protected from direct sunlight, at room temperature. After opening the package, close it tightly to prevent the powder from caking due to moisture.
