Regular Bowel Movements
Because of its absorption profile, magnesium citrate tends to draw a little water into the bowels - which can help relieve constipation gently. Since it tends not to cause gut cramps, it’s often seen as the gentler alternative to laxatives containing magnesium oxide.

You can maximise the amount you absorb by taking magnesium citrate with food containing healthy oils or protein.
Warnings
If you are experiencing loose stools, try lowering your dose to one capsule a day for a week, to give you gut time to adapt. Alternatively, you can switch to taking magnesium glycinate or a magnesium complex instead.
All magnesium supplements will reduce absorption of certain antibiotics, bisphosphonates (to treat osteoporosis) and medication to treat thyroid deficiencies. Do not take this or any magnesium supplement within 4 hours of these medications - if in doubt, always ask your pharmacist to check.

Dietary Suitability and Allergens
What is Magnesium Citrate Good For?
Regular Bowels
Magnesium Citrate is an osmotic laxative, which means it pulls water into your intestines to soften and bulk up your stool. It's popular as a gentle laxative that can be taken every day, as it doesn't cause urgency or gut cramps.
Calm and Sleep
Magnesium controls the balance between neurotransmitters that get us fired up and those that calm us down. This is why it's so popular as a sleep aid as well as an energy booster. Some people take it as a calming nutrient that eases jumpiness and feelings of agitation.
Bones and Teeth
Magnesium is essential both to absorb Calcium, and to lay it down in your bones and teeth. People who need calcium supplements normally take Magnesium as well.
Heart Health
As an electrolyte mineral, Magnesium conducts electricity and controls your heartbeat. You need magnesium to maintain a regular, steady heartbeat. It also supports overall cardiovascular health, and helps regulate blood pressure and the function of blood vessels.
Muscles and Energy
Popular for sports nutrition and people suffering from constant tiredness, Magnesium is essential for proper muscle function, including the contraction and relaxation of muscles. It helps regulate the flow of calcium ions, a key factor in muscle activity. It also helps convert food into energy by making ATP.

Customer Questions
-
The ingredients in your 'Magnesium Citrate 1480mg Providing 444mg Elemental Magnesium per Serving' product are listed as magnesium citrate and magnesium oxide, but magnesium oxide absorbs very poorly. What is the volume of magnesium citrate compared to magnesium oxide in this formula?
Magnesium Citrate accounts for 70% of the total.
-
What age is this preparation suitable for?
This is a high-strength supplement and is formulated for those aged 18 and over.
-
Can I open these capsules and mix the contents with food or drinks?
Yes, this supplement will be just as effective if you open the capsules. Just twist the capsules open and mix the contents with a drink or food. This isn't formulated to dissolve like a soluble supplement, so you will need to mix it into something thick like a smoothie or soup so that it doesn't settle at the bottom.
-
Is your Magnesium gluten free?
Yes it is gluten free
-
How much elemental magnesium is in your magnesium supplements?
A daily serving of our Magnesium Glycinate contains 300mg of elemental magnesium and 1200mg of glycine, the "other half" of the molecule that the magnesium is bound with. Our Magnesium Citrate contains 440mg of elemental magnesium.
-
Your Magnesium is of a higher strength and instructions are to take 2 a day. I have just looked online seen an adult shouldn't take any more the 420mg a day. Is this recommended dosage safe to take?
Different medical authorities advise different daily amounts of magnesium, and there isn't an official maximum limit. It's thought that excess magnesium causes diarrhoea and isn't absorbed through the intestine. (Medically recorded cases of magnesium overdose were caused by magnesium sulphate being given in hospital directly into the bloodstream, not through people taking food supplements.) The NHS advises that the necessary amount of magnesium is 300mg a day for men and 270mg a day for women (aged 19 to 64 years). It says that taking more than 400mg of magnesium can cause diarrhoea, and this is true for some people, particularly if you take magnesium oxide or magnesium citrate. By contrast, in America the recommended daily intake of magnesium is set much higher, at 420mg daily for men and 320mg daily for women. Bear in mind that this weight of 400mg refers to the elemental magnesium, not the total weight of the magnesium compound. For example, a daily serving of our Magnesium Glycinate contains 300mg of elemental magnesium and 1200mg of glycine, the "other half" of the molecule that the magnesium is bound with. Our Magnesium Citrate contains 440mg of elemental magnesium. If you have any concerns about how much magnesium you personally should be taking, we recommend that you speak to your doctor or dietician for personal advice.
-
Which vitamins would help with constipation?
Magnesium Citrate is popular as a gentle relief for constipation. However if you suffer from severe constipation frequently, please see your doctor to check for signs of other problems.
-
Is your magnesium chelated?
Yes, all our magnesium supplements contain chelated magnesium compounds, which are magnesium in an organic compound for better absorption.
-
Why does your Magnesium Glycinate bottle say 1500mg when it only contains 300mg elemental magnesium?
Magnesium supplements never contain pure magnesium as an element, because it bursts into flames at room temperature. Instead, they contain a magnesium compound, consisting of magnesium plus an organic element that makes it easy to absorb. A 1500mg daily serving of our Magnesium Glycinate contains 300mg of elemental magnesium and 1200mg of glycine, the "other half" of the molecule that the magnesium is bound with. Glycine is an amino acid that our bodies can make, but which we also eat in meat.
