{"title":"Magnesium Citrate","description":"\u003ch2\u003eMagnesium citrate: well-absorbed magnesium for daily use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMagnesium citrate is the form of magnesium that is created when the mineral is bound to citric acid. It is one of the most commonly used forms of magnesium in supplements because the body absorbs it relatively well and it is highly versatile. Magnesium contributes to the normal functioning of muscles and the nervous system, to a normal energy-yielding metabolism, and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn our range you will find magnesium citrate from various brands, in powder, capsules and tablets, and in different dosages. This allows you to choose the variant that suits your daily needs and your intake preference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is magnesium citrate and what makes this form special?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMagnesium citrate is magnesium bound to citric acid, an organic acid that occurs naturally in citrus fruits. Because magnesium in supplements is always bound to a carrier substance, this binding largely determines how well the body can absorb the mineral. Citrate is an organic binding that dissolves well and is therefore quickly absorbed, making magnesium citrate a widely used and accessible form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbsorption and bioavailability of magnesium citrate\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBioavailability indicates what portion of the magnesium taken is actually absorbed by the body. Magnesium citrate has good bioavailability and is generally absorbed better than inorganic forms such as magnesium oxide. The good solubility of citrate plays an important role in this. When comparing products, always pay attention to the amount of elemental magnesium per serving, because that is the pure amount of magnesium that becomes available to your body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is magnesium citrate used for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMagnesium citrate is widely used to supplement daily magnesium intake. Magnesium contributes to the normal functioning of muscles, to a normal energy-yielding metabolism, and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. In addition, it contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system and to the maintenance of normal bones. Therefore, magnesium citrate is a versatile choice for anyone who wants to maintain their magnesium intake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMagnesium citrate compared to other forms of magnesium\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach form of magnesium has its own characteristics. Magnesium citrate stands out due to the combination of good absorption and a favorable price, making it highly versatile. Magnesium bisglycinate is known for being particularly gentle on the stomach, while magnesium malate is bound to malic acid. Magnesium oxide contains a lot of elemental magnesium but is absorbed less effectively. For general daily use, magnesium citrate is a logical and balanced choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDosage and use of magnesium citrate\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe recommended daily amount of magnesium for adults averages between 300 and 400 mg per day, obtained through food and possibly supplementation. It is preferable to take magnesium citrate with a meal, as this promotes absorption. At higher dosages, magnesium citrate may have a slightly laxative effect; in that case, reduce the dosage or spread it throughout the day. Always follow the directions for use on the packaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is magnesium citrate suitable for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMagnesium citrate is suitable for almost anyone who wants to supplement their daily magnesium intake in a simple way. It is a widely used form for daily use. Those with a sensitive stomach may choose magnesium bisglycinate as a gentler alternative. If in doubt about the right form or dosage, it is wise to seek advice from a doctor or therapist.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"magnesium-citraat-365-capsules-vit4ever","title":"Tri-Magnesium Citrate | 365 Capsules | Vit4ever","description":"\u003ch2\u003eTri-Magnesium Citrate by Vit4ever\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhy do so many people choose the citrate form of magnesium rather than oxide or another variant? \u003cstrong\u003eMagnesium citrate\u003c\/strong\u003e is the compound of magnesium and citric acid, the acid that is also naturally found in citrus fruits. This combination makes the salt highly soluble in water, which is exactly why this form is so frequently used in supplements. Vit4ever uses trimagnesium dicitrate, with 360 mg of elemental magnesium per daily dose of three capsules. The capsules are vegan and the bottle contains 365 pieces, enough for over four months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat trimagnesium dicitrate exactly is\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name sounds complicated, but the principle behind this magnesium citrate is simple. Trimagnesium dicitrate consists of three magnesium ions bonded to two citrate molecules, hence the prefixes 'tri' and 'di'. The difference with free citric acid or ordinary table salt-like magnesium compounds lies in the structure: citrate is an organic acid residue, not an inorganic salt like magnesium oxide. Because of this, it dissolves more easily in moisture. Each capsule of Vit4ever contains 750 mg of trimagnesium dicitrate, of which 120 mg is elemental magnesium; the rest is the citrate part of the compound itself. Anyone looking for a concentrated form of magnesium citrate will quickly come across this compound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe difference with magnesium oxide\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMagnesium oxide is the cheapest and most common form in supplements, simply because you get more elemental magnesium per gram with it. Oxide dissolves poorly in water, while citrate dissolves well. Per capsule, you get less elemental magnesium with citrate than with oxide; therefore, the amount of elemental magnesium is always stated on the label, so that you can fairly compare products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat your body uses magnesium for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMagnesium contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system and to the normal functioning of the muscles. In addition, magnesium contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and to normal psychological function. The mineral also contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth, to normal protein synthesis and to the electrolyte balance, and it plays a role in the cell division process. Many people wonder how much magnesium is in a daily dose; three capsules of this magnesium citrate provide 96 percent of the reference intake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIntake and vegan capsules without unnecessary additives\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePreferably take the three capsules spread throughout the day, for example, one with breakfast, one with lunch and one with dinner. Always take the capsules with a generous amount of water; it makes little difference whether you take them with or without food, although many users prefer taking them during a meal. The capsule shell of this product is made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, a plant-based raw material that encapsulates the magnesium citrate without using animal gelatin. There are no colorings or flavorings. Each production batch is independently tested in a laboratory for content and purity, so you know that every capsule actually contains what is stated on the label. You can find the full list of ingredients further down on this page.

This is \u003cstrong\u003emagnesium citrate powder\u003c\/strong\u003e from Vit4ever: 600 grams of magnesium hydrogen citrate, allowing you to decide how much you take each day. No fixed capsule content, no tablet to swallow, but a powder that dissolves in water or juice. For those who have difficulty swallowing or simply prefer to adjust the dose themselves, this makes a real difference compared to the capsule and tablet versions of this ingredient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy choose the powder form\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith capsules or tablets, you are stuck with the amount the manufacturer has put in them. If you want slightly less or slightly more, you have to open half capsules or break tablets, which remains difficult to do accurately. With powder, it works differently. You scoop it out, stir it into water or fruit juice, and adjust the amount within the recommended daily intake. You can also divide the daily dose throughout the day, for example, half in the morning and half in the evening. Magnesium hydrogen citrate, the form Vit4ever uses, dissolves well. You will taste a slightly sour flavor, characteristic of citrate compounds, but no powder is left at the bottom of the glass, as does happen with some other forms of magnesium. Anyone who has ever used a magnesium effervescent tablet will know the sediment that sometimes remains after fizzing. With this powder, when stirred well, that does not happen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat sets magnesium citrate apart from other forms\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMagnesium is linked to various substances in supplements: oxide, citrate, bisglycinate, malate. The difference lies, among other things, in solubility. Magnesium oxide dissolves poorly in water. Magnesium citrate, on the other hand, dissolves well, which explains why it is so well suited for a powder form: a substance that dissolves poorly would be of little use as a drink powder. This powder contains 8 percent elemental magnesium; the rest is the citrate part of the compound. That may sound low, but the element magnesium is never available on its own; it is always bound to a carrier, whether that is citrate, oxide, or an amino acid. With bisglycinate, the form you more often encounter in capsules, that carrier is an amino acid, which makes it less suitable for dissolving in large quantities. For a powder that you dissolve in a drinkable amount, citrate is therefore a logical choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much powder you need per day\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA daily dose of 3 scoops, totaling 4.5 grams of powder, provides 360 mg of elemental magnesium. That is 96 percent of the reference intake for adults. Because you scoop it yourself instead of taking a fixed capsule, you can divide that amount over several times a day if desired. Many people wonder whether powder is less accurate to dose than a capsule. In practice, it is not that difficult: with the included scoop, you get a consistent amount per scoop, comparable to the accuracy of a tablet press. Level off the scoop with the edge of the packaging and you will always have the same amount of powder. By the way, that is also the answer to a frequently asked question: how can you be sure that you are not taking too much or too little with a powder. By filling the scoop the same way every time, the dosage remains just as consistent as with a prepackaged capsule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePure, without additives\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe powder contains only magnesium hydrogen citrate. No binders, no anti-caking agents, no sweetener or flavoring, unlike some magnesium effervescent tablets. This also means that no capsule material is needed, which naturally makes this product suitable for those who prefer not to take anything animal-derived or synthetic besides the magnesium citrate itself. It is vegan, lactose-free, and gluten-free. A 600-gram bag is good for approximately 130 doses at the recommended daily dose, more than four months with daily use. For comparison: with a capsule product with a comparable dose, you often buy separate bottles of 90 to 180 pieces, so you have to purchase several for the same period. With a powder bag of this size, you pay once for a longer period and do not have to reorder as often.

The magnesium comes from Aquamin Mg, a source extracted from seawater off the Irish coast. For those looking for magnesium without additives, this is a logical choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy the citrate form of magnesium\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMagnesium exists in many forms. Citrate is magnesium bound to citric acid, an organic compound. Oxide contains more magnesium per gram; citrate slightly less. In powder form, it also dissolves quickly, making it easy to stir a scoop into a drink. Magnesium contributes to the normal functioning of the muscles and the normal functioning of the nervous system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e400 mg magnesium and 8 mg B6 per scoop\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne level scoop weighs 4 grams and contains 400 mg of magnesium, good for 107% of the daily reference intake, plus 8 mg of vitamin B6 (571%). Why these two together? Vitamin B6 and magnesium are involved in the same processes in your body. Both contribute to a normal energy-yielding metabolism and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Vitamin B6 also contributes to normal psychological function. The 400 mg per scoop is in the upper half of what is common for a daily supplement, so with one scoop you get a substantial dose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAquamin Mg from the Irish Sea\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe magnesium in this powder comes from Aquamin Mg, an ingredient extracted from seawater off the Irish coast. In addition to magnesium, it naturally contains more than seventy trace elements. Furthermore, the powder has a clean composition: no sugar, no sweetener, and no unnecessary additives. Magnesium is not a substance your body produces itself, so you get it entirely from food or supplements. Magnesium contributes to the electrolyte balance and to normal protein synthesis, and plays a role in the cell division process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePowder instead of a capsule\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot everyone likes swallowing capsules, and with powder you decide for yourself how you take it. Stir a scoop into water, tea, or a smoothie. The 250-gram jar is good for 62 servings, about two months at one scoop per day, and there is a scoop in the packaging so you do not have to guess. Many people wonder if powder works differently than a capsule. For the magnesium itself, that does not matter; it is about the amount and the chosen form. One convenient thing: with powder you can easily spread the dosage throughout the day, something that is more difficult with a fixed capsule. Magnesium contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and to normal psychological function.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThus, magnesium citrate in powder form is a practical choice if you prefer to drink your magnesium and vitamin B6 rather than swallow it. With 400 mg of magnesium per scoop, the citrate form, and a composition without additives, you know exactly what you are getting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Osavi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47962232586578,"sku":"Osavi-019","price":20.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9006\/2812\/files\/osavimagnesiumcitraatpoeder.png?v=1783067261"},{"product_id":"magnesiumcitraat-200mg-now-foods","title":"Magnesium Citrate 200mg | 100 Tablets | NOW Foods","description":"\u003ch2\u003eMagnesium Citrate 200mg by NOW Foods\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAre you looking for a simple, affordable way to get magnesium every day? This \u003cstrong\u003emagnesium citrate\u003c\/strong\u003e from NOW Foods comes in tablets containing 200mg of magnesium. Two tablets per day provide a total of 400mg, well over the full reference intake. Convenient if you want a fixed daily amount of magnesium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat magnesium does in your body\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMagnesium is a mineral that your body does not produce itself. It is found in more than three hundred enzymes (proteins that initiate chemical reactions in your cells). Think of converting food into usable energy and creating new proteins. Many people wonder what magnesium does exactly. In short: magnesium contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. And magnesium contributes to the normal function of the muscles. Your nerves need it too: magnesium contributes to the normal function of the nervous system. By the way, most of the magnesium in your body is in your bones, and magnesium contributes to the maintenance of normal bones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy citrate and not oxide\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMagnesium is never found alone in a supplement. It is always combined with another substance. In these tablets, that is citric acid. Magnesium citrate dissolves well in water. Magnesium oxide, another commonly used form, contains more magnesium per gram but dissolves less well in water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTwo tablets, spread throughout the day\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe daily dose of 400mg of magnesium is divided into two tablets. This has a practical reason. Smaller portions are more comfortable for many people's stomachs. If you take one tablet with breakfast and one with dinner, you naturally spread out your intake. A bottle of 100 tablets lasts 50 days. Good to know: citrate has a slightly laxative effect at higher doses. If you notice this, move the second tablet to a different time or take it with a larger meal. If you prefer a smaller dose, one tablet per day is also perfectly fine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMagnesium in your diet\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMagnesium is found mainly in green leafy vegetables, nuts, seeds, legumes, and whole grains. Magnesium contributes to normal psychological function. By the way: more is not always better. Keep in mind what you already get from your food and any other supplements, and stay within the recommended dose of two tablets per day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNOW Foods makes these tablets in the United States, in a GMP-certified factory (GMP stands for Good Manufacturing Practice, a quality standard for production). It remains a simple product: just magnesium as citrate, without added herbs or vitamins. This way you know exactly what you are taking, and you can easily combine it with a multivitamin or other supplements you already use. Anyone looking for magnesium in citrate form is well served by these magnesium citrate tablets.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NOW Foods","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54816726974802,"sku":"Now-095","price":19.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9006\/2812\/files\/magnesiumcitraat-200mg-now-foods.jpg?v=1790167029"},{"product_id":"magnesiumcitraat-400mg-now-foods","title":"Magnesium Citrate 400mg | 120 Capsules | NOW Foods","description":"\u003ch2\u003eMagnesium Citrate 400mg Capsules by NOW Foods\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrefer capsules to tablets?

Three capsules a day provide a total of 400mg of magnesium, slightly more than the full reference intake. The capsules contain only two excipients, with no coating, colorings or added herbs. This makes them appealing to anyone who wants magnesium in as pure a form as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMagnesium and your energy metabolism\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour body uses magnesium as a co-factor in hundreds of reactions. Every time your cells convert sugar or fat into usable energy, magnesium is involved. Therefore, magnesium contributes to normal energy metabolism. Your muscles and nerves also rely on it. Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function, and magnesium contributes to the electrolyte balance (the ratio of minerals such as potassium, sodium and magnesium in your body fluids).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e2667mg of citrate for 400mg of magnesium\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou will see two numbers on the label, which can sometimes be confusing. The three capsules contain a total of 2667mg of magnesium citrate. Of that, 400mg is pure magnesium (the elemental magnesium). The rest is citric acid, the compound to which the magnesium is attached. Magnesium citrate dissolves well in water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy the daily dose is divided into three capsules\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA capsule containing 2667mg of citrate would be far too large to swallow. That is why the dose is divided into three capsules of normal size. This is also practical. You take one with each meal, so your body receives a small dose of magnesium at regular intervals. This is also easier on the bowels for many people. Citrate attracts some water, which can have a slightly laxative effect when taken in a high dose at once. If you want less magnesium, simply take one or two capsules. With 120 capsules, three per day will last 40 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMagnesium and your daily diet\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reference intake for magnesium is 375mg per day. That sounds like a lot, but it is easily found in a varied diet: a handful of almonds, a plate of brown rice with spinach, a few slices of wholemeal bread. Magnesium contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. The great thing about capsules is that you can easily adjust the dose. A day with plenty of nuts and vegetables? Then one capsule is enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNOW Foods is an American family-owned company that has been making supplements since 1968, and these capsules come from its own GMP-certified factory in the United States. They are made without wheat, gluten, soy, milk, egg, fish, shellfish or nuts, and the capsule itself is plant-based. If you are looking for a magnesium supplement in citrate form that you can easily adjust to your own needs, this magnesium citrate in capsules is a sensible choice.
