This product from NOW Foods provides 200 mg of elemental magnesium per tablet, bound to citric acid. Two tablets bring you to 400 mg per day, 107% of the reference intake. And with 250 tablets in the bottle, you have a supply for well over four months with one purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy citrate is such a common form\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMagnesium comes in many forms, such as oxide, citrate, and bisglycinate. In magnesium citrate, the magnesium is bound to citric acid; it is one of the most commonly used forms. NOW Foods uses a fully reacted citrate here: the magnesium and the citrate are fully chemically bound, so it is not a loose mixture of magnesium oxide and citric acid like some cheaper products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat 400mg of elemental magnesium means\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen comparing magnesium supplements, always pay attention to the word elemental. Magnesium citrate as a compound consists only partly of magnesium, the rest is citrate. A product that heavily advertises 1000 mg of magnesium citrate therefore provides much less actual magnesium than that number suggests. This label states 400 mg of elemental magnesium per 2 tablets, and that is the pure magnesium that actually counts. With this, you cover the full reference intake in a daily dose, which is around 375 mg for adults. Magnesium contributes, among other things, to a normal energy-yielding metabolism and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to use magnesium citrate in practice\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTake 2 tablets per day with a meal and a glass of water. Magnesium contributes to the normal functioning of the muscles and the normal functioning of the nervous system. Taking it with food also reduces the chance of the mild laxative effect that magnesium sometimes has at higher doses. If you want to build up more gradually, start with 1 tablet of 200 mg per day and increase to the full dose after a week.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho these tablets are suitable for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose this magnesium citrate if you want a common form at the lowest price per day within the NOW Foods range, and if being vegan is important to you: the coating and excipients are completely plant-based. If you prefer not to swallow tablets, the Magnesium Citrate Softgels or the pure Magnesium Citrate Powder from NOW Foods are suitable alternatives. The tablets are not produced with wheat, gluten, soy, milk, egg, fish, shellfish, or sesame. Many users keep the bottle in the cupboard for months because 250 tablets go a long way, and they adjust their daily dose to what they already get through their diet. This way, magnesium citrate remains a steady, affordable base that you do not need to reorder quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NOW Foods","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43835387150556,"sku":"Now-046","price":35.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9006\/2812\/products\/Magnesiumcitraat250tabletten.jpg?v=1678716107","url":"https:\/\/www.luto-supplements.nl\/en\/products\/now-foods-magnesium-citrate-250-tabs","provider":"LUTO Supplements","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
