What This Product Is
MagCitrate Powder provides 300 mg of magnesium per 1-scoop serving as magnesium citrate in a convenient lemon-flavored powder. It mixes easily in water and offers serving size flexibility when either more or less is needed. Magnesium citrate helps promote movement through the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, bowel relaxation, and regularity. It also supports restful sleep due to its relaxing properties.*
Magnesium plays many important roles in the body, particularly in the brain, skeletal muscles, and heart. It is an essential mineral that supports more than 300 biochemical reactions, including those that regulate cellular energy production, muscle and nerve function, and normal heart rhythm and blood pressure. Studies show magnesium intake in the U.S. has decreased significantly in recent decades due to the wide use of demineralized water, depleted soil, and increased consumption of processed food. Magnesium can also be depleted by stress, excessive alcohol consumption, gastrointestinal diseases, and certain medications.*
Mechanism of Action
Magnesium Citrate for GI Motility
Magnesium citrate promotes movement through the gastrointestinal tract by drawing water into the intestines, supporting bowel relaxation and regularity. This makes it particularly beneficial for individuals with occasional constipation when fiber alone is insufficient.*
Relaxation and Sleep Support
Magnesium is critical for supporting normal muscle relaxation, neurological health, and psychological balance. Its relaxing properties support restful sleep, making MagCitrate Powder beneficial for those with difficulty sleeping.*
Cofactor for 300+ Biochemical Reactions
300 mg of magnesium per serving supports cellular energy production, muscle and nerve function, normal heart rhythm and blood pressure, bone health, and healthy metabolism as a cofactor for over 300 biochemical reactions throughout the body.*

Product Questions
How does MagCitrate Powder compare to Magnesium Glycinate Powder and Magnesium Chelate Powder?
MagCitrate Powder uses magnesium citrate, which has a specific benefit of promoting GI motility and bowel regularity, making it ideal for individuals with occasional constipation. Magnesium Glycinate Powder and Magnesium Chelate Powder use magnesium bisglycinate chelate, which is optimized for absorption and GI tolerance without the bowel-stimulating effect. Choose MagCitrate for GI regularity support, or the chelated powders for general magnesium supplementation with minimal GI impact.*
Can MagCitrate Powder be used primarily for sleep support?
Yes, magnesium citrate supports restful sleep due to its relaxing properties. However, if sleep support is the primary goal without the need for bowel regularity benefits, Magnesium Glycinate Powder or Magnesium Chelate Powder may be preferred as they provide excellent absorption without the GI motility effect of citrate.*
Who may benefit most from MagCitrate Powder?
Individuals experiencing occasional constipation when fiber alone is insufficient, those wanting magnesium support with GI regularity benefits, people seeking relaxation and sleep support, and anyone preferring a pleasant lemon-flavored powder with flexible serving sizes.*
