Magnesium contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, normal muscle function, the normal functioning of the nervous system and the maintenance of normal bones. Citrate is a common, well-absorbed form.
What is the difference between magnesium citrate and magnesium glycinate?
Both deliver magnesium. Citrate is bound to citric acid and is widely used for everyday top-ups; glycinate is bound to the amino acid glycine and is often chosen by people who want a form that is gentle on the stomach. Pick the form that suits you and compare the elemental magnesium per serving.
How long does a bottle last?
A bottle of 120 veg capsules lasts 40 days at 3 capsules a day, or longer if you take fewer. 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.
