Thorne Magnesium CitraMate
by Thorne
"Magnesium citrate-malate from Thorne — the dual-form magnesium for energy production and muscle function from the practitioner brand"
Overview
Thorne Magnesium CitraMate provides 135mg of elemental magnesium per capsule as a combination of magnesium citrate and magnesium malate. The citrate form is well-absorbed, while the malate form specifically supports energy production (malate is a key intermediate in the Krebs cycle). This dual-form approach provides both general magnesium benefits and targeted energy support. Thorne is the #1 practitioner-recommended supplement brand and is trusted by professional sports teams, the Mayo Clinic, and the Cleveland Clinic.
