What is Magnesium Citrate
Magnesium Citrate, also known as magnesium citrate, is a combination of magnesium carbonate and citric acid. This combination is made in this way because it allows magnesium to be best absorbed by the body.
Magnesium is a natural chemical element found in the human body, as well as an alkali metal abundantly present in Earth’s biochemistry.
