This \u003cstrong\u003emagnesium citrate\u003c\/strong\u003e from NOW Foods comes in plant-based cellulose capsules. 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. No extras, just magnesium.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NOW Foods","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54816731431250,"sku":"Now-096","price":20.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9006\/2812\/files\/magnesiumcitraat-400mg-now-foods.jpg?v=1790167029","url":"https:\/\/www.luto-supplements.nl\/en\/products\/magnesiumcitraat-400mg-now-foods","provider":"LUTO Supplements","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
