The benefits of magnesium citrate

The benefits of magnesium citrate

Magnesium is one of the most important minerals for overall health, playing a role in over 600 biochemical processes in the body[1]. One of the most bioavailable forms of magnesium is magnesium citrate, a compound of magnesium and citric acid. Let’s explore its key benefits and how Herbs of Gold Magnesium Citrate 900 can help support your general health and wellbeing.

1. Organic form to help optimise absorption

Not all forms of magnesium are created equal. Magnesium citrate is considered an organic form of magnesium, meaning it binds to citric acid, which promotes high solubility and tends to be more easily absorbed in the digestive system. This makes it gentle on the stomach compared to some inorganic forms such as magnesium oxide, which may not be as easily absorbed. A well absorbed form of magnesium means your body can more efficiently utilise magnesium where it’s needed most to achieve specific therapeutic outcomes.  

2. Helps reduce the occurrence of mild migraines

The link between magnesium and migraine is well studied[2], with magnesium being necessary to support nervous system health, a key factor in the development of migraines. By maintaining healthy magnesium levels in the body, individuals prone to migraines may experience fewer occurrences.

3. Energy support through the citric acid cycle

Magnesium plays a vital role in energy production, particularly in the citric acid cycle (also known as the Krebs cycle), the process by which our cells generate adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the body’s main energy currency. Without adequate magnesium, enzymes involved in this cycle cannot function optimally. Magnesium citrate, with its connection to citric acid, supports energy production, a process important for maintaining general health and vitality.

For those looking for a high-quality magnesium supplement, Herbs of Gold Magnesium Citrate 900 provides a well-absorbed form of magnesium in an easy-to-swallow capsule. Each capsule delivers 145.8mg of elemental magnesium to support muscle health, energy production and nervous system health. If you’re a migraine sufferer, you will be glad to know that Herbs of Gold Magnesium Citrate 900 also helps reduce the occurrence of mild migraines.
