What is magnesium citrate?

Magnesium is a mineral that the body needs every day and must obtain from food. It is found, for example, in wholegrain products, legumes, nuts, seeds and green leafy vegetables. Magnesium citrate is a compound of magnesium and citric acid, i.e. the magnesium salt of citric acid. The powder form lets you measure out the dose yourself and mix it into water or another clear drink. The nutrition table shows both the amount of magnesium per 100 g of powder and the amount provided by one daily dose.

How to use?

Mix 1 level teaspoon (3 g) of powder into at least 8 oz (about 240 ml) of cold water or another clear liquid until fully dissolved. Add the powder slowly while stirring. Once prepared, the mixture may be added to smoothies or juices as desired. Take once daily with a meal. Pure magnesium citrate can increase the temperature of liquids upon contact; therefore, the recommended serving must be mixed into at least 240 ml of cold liquid to neutralise this reaction before drinking. Do not take the powder dry.
