  • Our take on the NOW Foods Magnesium Citrate

    NOW Foods Magnesium Citrate is an 8-ounce tub of loose magnesium citrate powder, a highly absorbable form of magnesium that supports muscle and nerve function, energy metabolism and relaxation. The powder dissolves in water or juice and lets you adjust the serving, unlike fixed-dose capsules. It is a budget-friendly option for adults who want a simple daily magnesium supplement, though the loose powder is less convenient to carry and the taste is plain to slightly tart. Reviewers generally find it effective for muscle cramps and sleep, but some report loose stools at higher servings.

    Questions and answers

    How much powder should I take?
    A typical serving is about one rounded teaspoon, but follow the label and start low to judge tolerance. Magnesium citrate can loosen stools, so split the serving if needed.
    Is citrate better than magnesium oxide?
    Citrate is generally absorbed better than oxide and is gentler on the stomach for most people. Oxide is cheaper but more likely to cause digestive upset.
    Can I take it at night?
    Yes. Many users take it in the evening for relaxation and sleep support. Take it with food if it upsets your stomach.
    Does it taste bad?
    It is plain to slightly tart, not flavored. Most people mix it into juice or a smoothie to mask the taste.
    Is it suitable for vegetarians?
    The powder is plant-based and free of common allergens, but check the label for the current formulation. It is intended for adults.
    Can I take it with other supplements?
    Magnesium can interact with some medications and other minerals, so space it apart and ask a doctor if you take prescriptions.
