- What is magnesium citrate and how does it work?
Magnesium is an important mineral and one of the most common electrolytes in the body. Since our body cannot produce magnesium, we must obtain this mineral with food or with the help of food supplements. Magnesium deficiency is often found in the Western diet.
Magnesium citrate is an ionic compound containing positive magnesium ions and negative citrate ions. The speed of absorption and bioavailability of magnesium supplements varies depending on the species. Studies show that usually those species that dissolve in liquids are better absorbed in the intestines than less soluble forms. Some studies show that the citrate, chelate and chloride forms of magnesium are absorbed better than magnesium oxide and sulfate supplements.
Magnesium citrate not only helps protect against symptoms of magnesium deficiency, such as fatigue, muscle pain and sleep problems, but is also often used to relieve constipation.
