What is in each capsule

Capsule shell: pullulan (cassava extract, vegan).

Why magnesium citrate

Magnesium citrate is magnesium bound to citric acid. The citric acid acts as a carrier, so the magnesium is well absorbed by the body — better than magnesium oxide, comparable to other organically bound forms.

What magnesium does

At the standard daily dose of 1 capsule you take in 110 mg of magnesium — 29% of the reference intake (RI). The following EFSA-authorised claims apply:

• Magnesium contributes to a reduction of tiredness and fatigue

Vitarium therapeutic editorial team

Magnesium citrate is one of the best-absorbed forms of magnesium and is often used as a basic form by practitioners in the Vitarium network. For anyone looking for an even gentler variant (especially in the evening or with a sensitive gut), magnesium bisglycinate is an alternative from the same range.

Goes well with

• Magnesium bisglycinate powder — for anyone who wants to build up the dose or is looking for an extra gentle form
• Vitamin D3 + K2 — vitamin D supports calcium and magnesium absorption
• Vitamin B6 — works synergistically with magnesium in nerve and muscle function

This product is a food supplement. Do not exceed the recommended dose. A varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle are important; a food supplement does not replace them. Keep out of reach of young children. Consult a qualified practitioner in case of pregnancy, lactation, medication use or illness.
