What is Magnesium Citrate
Magnesium Citrate, is a combination of magnesium carbonate and citric acid. This combination is made in this way because then the magnesium can best be absorbed by the body.
Magnesium is a natural chemical element found in the human body, as well as an alkali metal abundant in the Earth’s biochemistry.

Dose
The most common dose is 400 mg Magnesium Citrate per day. It should be taken on an empty stomach with a large glass of water. The 400 mg magnesium is 107% RDA for adults, so it is recommended to take no more than 1 capsule of Magnesium Citrate per day.
Side effects
Too high a dose of Magnesium can paralyze the central nervous system. We call this magnesium narcosis. This should of course be avoided at all times. However, with the usual dose of 400 mg Magnesium Citrate per day, no side effects are known, apart from the laxative effect. If this (undesirable) occurs, drink enough water to avoid dehydration.
