Magnesium Citrate

Douglas Laboratories Magnesium Citrate supplies 150 mg of elemental magnesium from bioavailable magnesium citrate in each convenient vegetarian capsule. Magnesium Citrate is one of the most common forms of Mag, where the magnesium is bound to citric acid. Once inside our cells, the magnesium separates from the citrate, leaving elemental magnesium and citric acid. Because citric acid is required for the production of muscle energy, Magnesium Citrate can help boost physical energy and performance. It also has good bioavailability and is very rapidly absorbed in the digestive tract. Unfortunately, over 1/3 of the Canadian population is deficient in this important mineral. A deficiency in magnesium can cause many symptoms including anxiety and depressive conditions, restless legs, twitching eyelids, insomnia, muscle pain, migraines, and constipation. [CAPS]
