Nature Made® Magnesium Citrate is 100% magnesium citrate, a highly absorbable form of magnesium, to help meet daily needs for this essential nutrient. Information from The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) shows that 55% of the US population has inadequate dietary intake of magnesium.1 Magnesium participates in more than 300 reactions in the body and is critical to many bodily functions such as helping to support nerve, heart, and muscle function, healthy bones and teeth, and assisting with converting carbohydrates, protein, and fat into cellular energy.2,3†
Citrate forms of various minerals are common in supplements to help meet various individual needs or preferences. Research studies show that citrate forms of minerals are more highly absorbable than other common forms.4-6 Citrate mineral salts are highly soluble and less dependent on stomach acid for absorption thus it may be gentle on the stomach.6
This form may be important for individuals with decreased stomach acid production including older individuals, and/or those taking certain medications (i.e. acid-suppressing medications).
