Magnesium citrate: high bioavailability due to the citrate form

Because of its high bioavailability, magnesium citrate is a popular mineral. It is soluble, regardless of acid concentration in the stomach, and the body is able to resorb it better and faster than magnesium oxide.

Functions of magnesium in the body

Magnesium is important for the carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism, for the cellular energy and the health of bones, heart, nerves, arteries and muscles. Magnesium citrate promotes performance and relaxes the musculature.

Study about the bioavailability of magnesium citrate

The double-blind study by Walker and Marakis compared the bioavailability of the magnesium compounds magnesium amino acid chelate, magnesium citrate and magnesium oxide. Magnesium citrate show the best bioavailability. It led to a significant increase of the magnesium concentration in the serum during an acute (24 hours) and a chronic (60 days) treatment with a dosage of 300mg/day. The magnesium content in the saliva and the magnesium excretion by the kidneys also increased.
