INFORMATION ON MAGNESIUM CITRATE (8.5% ELEMENT)

Magnesium citrate consists of magnesium bound to citric acid, making it both bioavailable and osmotically active in the gut. This form is particularly effective for individuals with low magnesium status and those experiencing constipation.

It has a faster onset of action compared to magnesium glycinate and may have a mild laxative effect.

Functions:

  • Supports muscle contraction and relaxation

  • Participates in ATP production and mitochondrial function

  • Regulates electrolyte balance

  • Promotes bowel motility via osmotic action

TAILORBLEND uses magnesium citrate when digestive motility support and reliable absorption are key therapeutic goals.
