Magnesium citrate – the best absorbed form of magnesium for health and energy

What magnesium citrate is

Magnesium citrate is an organic compound of magnesium and citric acid, considered to be one of the best absorbed forms of this element. Thanks to its combination with citric acid, magnesium in this form is characterised by high bioavailability and a gentle action on the digestive system. It is readily used both in everyday and in therapeutic supplementation, because it supports the proper functioning of the muscles, of the nervous system and of the heart.

The importance of magnesium in the body

Magnesium is one of the most important macroelements, taking part in more than 300 enzymatic reactions in the body. It is responsible for proper nerve conduction, muscle contractions, the regulation of blood pressure, and also for the synthesis of proteins and the production of cellular energy. It also supports the electrolyte balance and protects cells against oxidative stress. Magnesium deficiencies may lead to muscle cramps, twitching eyelids, disturbances of heart rhythm, problems with concentration and chronic fatigue.

Why it is worth choosing magnesium citrate

Many forms of magnesium are available on the market, but not all of them are absorbed equally well. Magnesium citrate stands out through its exceptional bioavailability, which means that the body absorbs it considerably better than inorganic forms such as magnesium oxide or magnesium carbonate. Its action is gentle on the stomach and at the same time effective in making up deficiencies. In addition, citric acid supports energy metabolism and contributes to a better tolerance of the supplement by people with a sensitive digestive system.

The role of magnesium citrate in the nervous system

Magnesium citrate plays a key role in the functioning of the nervous system. Magnesium helps to maintain the balance between the stimulation and the relaxation of neurons, thanks to which it supports resistance to stress, improves mood and makes falling asleep easier. Its action stabilising the nervous system means that it is often used in states of tension, over-excitability or chronic mental fatigue. Regular supplementation may improve concentration, memory and the ability to think logically.

Magnesium and the muscular and cardiovascular systems

Magnesium citrate supports the proper work of the muscles, preventing their cramps and twitching. It takes part in the conduction of nerve impulses, thanks to which it makes the proper contractions of the skeletal muscles and of the heart muscle possible. Magnesium also affects the maintenance of a proper heart rhythm, of blood pressure and of the elasticity of the vessels. In combination with potassium and calcium it supports the prevention of hypertension and of diseases of the circulatory system.

Influence on metabolism and energy levels

Magnesium is essential for the production of ATP – the main source of energy in cells. Magnesium citrate supports the processes of transforming carbohydrates, proteins and fats, which translates into better physical and mental capacity. People suffering from chronic fatigue or training intensively often notice an improvement in energy and regeneration after including magnesium in the diet.

Magnesium citrate and the digestive system

In contrast to some other forms of magnesium, citrate has a mild laxative action, which supports the natural peristalsis of the intestines and the detoxification of the body. It is often used in people with a tendency to constipation or to a slowed metabolism. In addition it supports the intestinal microflora and improves the absorption of nutrients, which makes it an excellent supplement in everyday health prevention.

Magnesium citrate in supplementation

Magnesium citrate is available in the form of capsules, tablets or a powder to be dissolved in water. Thanks to its good solubility it can easily be taken in any form. A typical daily dose amounts to from 200 to 400 mg of magnesium ions, depending on the requirement of the body. The best effects are obtained by taking the supplement after a meal, which increases its absorption and limits any irritation of the stomach.

Innovative DWATRO Laboratories preparations

The DWATRO Laboratories brand offers magnesium citrate in modern liposomal technology, which ensures maximum bioavailability and the effective penetration of the ingredients into the cells. Thanks to the liposomal form, magnesium is absorbed better and remains in the body for longer, which makes it possible to feel the effects sooner. DWATRO Laboratories preparations are often enriched with vitamin B6 and taurine, which support the action of magnesium and additionally affect the nervous system and immunity. The regular use of the products of this brand promotes an improvement in well-being, a reduction in muscle tension and the maintenance of a high level of energy.

Who should supplement magnesium

An increased requirement for magnesium is found in physically active people, people exposed to stress, people drinking large amounts of coffee or alcohol, and also in pregnant women and older people. A deficiency of magnesium may intensify the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome, worsen the quality of sleep and increase the risk of hypertension. Regular supplementation with magnesium citrate helps to maintain the electrolyte balance and supports the functioning of the whole body.

Summary

Magnesium citrate is one of the most effective and best absorbed forms of magnesium. It supports the nervous, muscular, cardiovascular and digestive systems, helping to maintain metabolic balance and resistance to stress. The regular use of this compound improves the quality of sleep, concentration and general vitality. The innovative DWATRO Laboratories supplements with magnesium citrate in liposomal technology guarantee high effectiveness, safety and rapid effects. Magnesium citrate is an excellent choice for people who want to support their health, energy and good well-being every day in a natural way.

My name is Dorota Wątróbska-Świetlikowska, I am a pharmacist and a scientist holding the degree of habilitated doctor of pharmaceutical sciences. I decided to combine my scientific knowledge and my experience in order to create dietary supplements of the highest quality.

My passion and main area of research are submicron dispersion systems, such as submicron emulsions, liposomes and lipospheres. After obtaining my doctorate, I turned my attention to the practical aspects of parenteral nutrition, combining the needs of the patient with the possibilities of the pharmacist. What matters most to me is quality, safety and effectiveness, which is visible both in my scientific work and in my approach to creating Dwatro Laboratories® supplements.
