NOW Foods – Magnesium Citrate
Supports Energy Production
Critical for Enzyme Function
Magnesium is a mineral that is critical for energy production and metabolism, muscle contraction, nerve impulse transmission, and bone mineralization. It is a required cofactor for an estimated 300 enzymes. Among the reactions catalyzed by these enzymes are fatty acid synthesis, protein synthesis, and glucose metabolism. Magnesium status is also important for regulation of calcium balance through its effects on the parathyroid gland.

I take half a teaspoon half an hour before bedtime. It helped me fall asleep quickly. It’s part of my daily sleep regimen. This magnesium relaxes me. I’ve tried going to bed without the magnesium but I can’t fall asleep easily without it. Also, I’ve tried other citrate-free magnesiums and haven’t helped sleep. So I stick to magnesium citrate to help me sleep.

There is not a lot of magnesium, in general, in our diet. It is a very famous brand. The powder dissolves easily and tastes good. It’s good for regularity. It relieves facial contractions. It relaxes the bronchial muscles, which improves breathing in asthmatics. I take 1/4 teaspoon in the morning with my vitamins.

use magnesium citrate in capsules and was intrigued when I found the powdered version which seemed to have the same benefits. I must say that as long as it is taken as directed (mixed with cold water) it is of the same quality and helps my muscles post workout, but also my sleep and bowel movements, and I can avoid take unnecessary chemicals that come with the caps.

I take 1/2 tsp mixed in water at bedtime and sleep through the night (I’m 72). So much better than taking a heavy drug or a barbiturate! The taste is a little sweet, not unpleasant, although a little lumpy. It dissolves better if left a little in the water.

This product is definitely a good choice for people who have symptoms of magnesium deficiency and not only. I really like the quality and it’s just pure powder with no additives. In terms of ingredients, citrate really works as a laxative in some cases and that’s just an added benefit of the product. The size is enough for long term use if you take the right dose every day and it should last you a long time. I am satisfied with the purchase.

I’m a floxie who was poisoned with fluoroquinolone antibiotics. Thanks, herbs provide a huge range of supplement choices. This is one of the supplements that helps me reduce my side effects after Neuro toxin by doctor. I like its size and taste. Also, it is a good ingredient and quality supplement products.

Good product! No added ingredients, which I love. I simply add it to water and drink it as needed when constipation is a problem. It has a little flavor but personally I don’t mind. I bet you wouldn’t even taste its flavor if added to juice.

I take 3 x 1/4 tsp at bedtime for my sleep. It helps me fall asleep quickly. I also increase my dose in the first two weeks of my cycle and it significantly reduces the hormonal symptoms before my period. I have had bowel issues for years. But by taking magnesium citrate and calcium citrate at a ratio of 2 mag:1 cal my bowels are now regular and normal.

I love that it’s pure magnesium citrate with no additives. It helps me relieve muscle aches, headaches and digestion (a higher dose acts as a laxative). I take it with water, but you have to be careful to stir it constantly while adding it, otherwise it gets lumpy. I mix it with potassium and vitamin C powders, the taste is pleasant.

This magnesium works great for constipation. I mix 2 tsp in unsweetened juice, at least 8-10 oz. and give it to my adult son on the autism spectrum and it works better than anything I’ve tried. I highly recommend this product if you also suffer from anxiety due to its calming effects. My son has been sleeping much better lately and this particular brand is 100% magnesium with no other fillers and that’s a big plus. Just pure, easy-to-dissolve magnesium citrate in cold liquid.
