Magnesium Citrate
Magnesium citrate is magnesium bound to citric acid. Shop magnesium citrate powder, magnesium citrate tablets and magnesium drinks, plus magnesium glycinate. Always free from artificial sweeteners, flavours, colours and more.
Magnesium Glycinate vs Citrate
Both are popular forms of magnesium supplement. The difference is what the magnesium is bound to. Magnesium glycinate is bound to glycine, an amino acid, and magnesium citrate is bound to citric acid. Each form gives you a different amount of magnesium per gram, so always compare the elemental magnesium on the label.
What is magnesium citrate?
Magnesium citrate is magnesium bound to citric acid, the same acid found in lemons. It comes as tablets and powders, and citrate powders often have a slightly tart taste. Compare your options on magnesium tablets and capsules and magnesium powder.
How to read a magnesium citrate label
Skip the big number on the front of the pack, which is usually the whole compound. Look for "elemental magnesium" or "equivalent to magnesium" to see how much magnesium you're getting in each serve.
Always read the label and follow the directions for use. If symptoms persist, talk to your health professional.
