Overview

Nature Made Magnesium Citrate provides 250mg of magnesium in the citrate form with USP verification. Magnesium citrate is significantly more bioavailable than magnesium oxide, the form used in most budget supplements. The 180-softgel count provides 6 months of daily supplementation at roughly $0.08 per day. Magnesium is involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions and most Americans are deficient.

The USP-verified bioavailable magnesium. Citrate form is a significant upgrade over oxide at a reasonable price. May have mild laxative effect — a benefit for some, a drawback for others.
