Now Foods Magnesium Citrate is a food supplement in softgels that provides magnesium in four different compounds: magnesium citrate, magnesium glycinate, magnesium malate and magnesium oxide. The recommended daily dose is 3 softgels, which together provide 400 mg of elemental magnesium – 107% of the nutrient reference value. The bottle contains 90 softgels, or 30 daily doses, which with regular use last about one month.
