While this macro-mineral is easily obtained from many foods, magnesium deficiencies are extremely common for many Americans. Alcohol consumption, the presence of fluoride, and the consumption of certain foods either increase our need for magnesium, or decrease its absorption.

Magnesium is not only one of the key nutrients required in both calcium utilization and protein synthesis, but it also plays a tremendous role in virtually every enzymatic reaction in our body. NOW Magnesium Citrate Vcaps are fast acting, safe and ideal for anyone who has their sights set on attaining optimal levels of this vital nutrient.

Now Foods Magnesium Citrate 200 mg (100 tabs) within category: Magnesium

Magnesium is a woefully underused nutrient, with substantial benefits in the health of the heart and especially the bones.  That's why you often see magnesium paired with calcium in supplements.  Another reason is that both calcium and magnesium take up a lot of space in a pill; most one-a-day multivitamins do not supply enough, so people often look to outside supplements.
 
There's a lot of talk about a 2:1 calcium:magnesium ratio, but to our knowledge, there is no research that explicitly supports this.  Still, it seems reasonable.  Bear in mind, however, that most of us consume way more calcium than magnesium in our diets, heavy on the dairy and fortified orange juice (calcium), light on the nuts and seeds and whole grains (magnesium).  If this is the case, you might look to supplement additional magnesium and less calcium to bring your total daily intake into balance.
 
There are dozens of different kinds of magnesium out there:
  • Magnesium oxide is the least expensive form, as well as the poorest absorbing.  And poorest absorbing means more stays in the gut where it's more likely to cause loose stools.  (That being said, magnesium oxide can be quite useful for constipation).
  • Magnesium citrate and amino acid chelate are two significantly better forms.
  • Magnesium glycinate and aspartate are considered premium.
