Overview

Solgar Magnesium Citrate provides 420mg of elemental magnesium from magnesium citrate per 3-tablet serving (100% DV). Magnesium citrate is one of the most bioavailable forms of magnesium — studies show it has significantly higher absorption than magnesium oxide (the cheapest form). Magnesium citrate is well-suited for general magnesium supplementation, supporting muscle function, nerve function, energy production, and bone health. Solgar has been a trusted supplement brand since 1947, known for their gold-standard manufacturing and amber glass bottles that protect ingredients from light degradation. The 120-tablet count provides a 40-day supply.
