Magnesium Citrate is a magnesium salt of citric acid that offers good bioavailability and mild laxative properties, which supports overall magnesium status, digestive regularity, and muscle function while being more affordable than some chelated forms.
How to Take Magnesium Citrate
Magnesium Citrate is typically dosed at 200-400 mg elemental magnesium daily (equivalent to 1200-2400 mg of the compound), commonly taken in the evening due to its gentle laxative effect, and is best started at lower doses to assess bowel tolerance before increasing.
