Puritan’s Pride Magnesium 250mg

Puritan’s Pride Magnesium 250 mg: magnesium oxide in a coated caplet

Puritan’s Pride Magnesium gives 250 mg of magnesium as magnesium oxide in each coated vegetarian caplet, and the bottle holds 100 caplets. Magnesium contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, to normal muscle function and normal functioning of the nervous system, to electrolyte balance and to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth. Magnesium oxide is the most concentrated common form, so one small caplet delivers a full daily amount at a low cost. It suits adults who want a simple, budget magnesium tablet once a day with a meal; anyone with a sensitive stomach may prefer glycinate or citrate.

What’s in a serving (1 caplet)

Vegetarian. The full ingredient list is on the bottle.

Who it suits

• Budget magnesium: about 9 EGP a day at one caplet.

Puritan’s Pride Magnesium questions

How much magnesium is in each caplet?

Each coated caplet gives 250 mg of magnesium as magnesium oxide. The bottle holds 100 caplets.

How many should I take?

Puritan’s Pride’s directions for adults are 1 caplet up to twice a day, preferably with meals. One caplet a day suits most people; 250 mg is the daily amount European guidance sets as the upper level for magnesium from supplements, and more can loosen the stool.

Magnesium oxide vs glycinate or citrate: what’s the difference?

Magnesium oxide packs the most magnesium into a small caplet, so you need fewer tablets, and it is usually the lowest cost per milligram. Glycinate and citrate are gentler on the stomach for some people; compare them in the magnesium category.

What does magnesium do?

Magnesium contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, to normal muscle function and normal functioning of the nervous system, to electrolyte balance, and to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth.

Can I take it with other supplements?

Keep it two hours apart from iron, zinc and some antibiotics and thyroid medication, which magnesium can bind. Avoid stacking it with another magnesium product. Food supplements don’t replace a varied diet. If you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, under 18, taking medication or have a medical condition, ask your doctor first.
