Useful information about taking magnesium citrate
What is magnesium?
Magnesium is a chemical element (abbreviation Mg) and essential for the human body. Magnesium is involved in over 300 enzymatic processes. It has antioxidant properties and can help reduce oxidative stress, which can occur during cell division. Magnesium is found in foods like nuts, seeds, green leafy vegetables, and whole grains.
What does magnesium citrate or trimagnesium dicitrate mean?
Magnesium citrate is a magnesium salt of citric acid (citrate). It is considered one of the best magnesium compounds and is often preferred due to its high solubility and bioavailability. Thanks to its rapid absorption and good solubility, it effectively contributes to the regulation of electrolyte balance, especially for athletes or people who sweat or lose fluids. Magnesium citrate comes in different forms. The trimagnesium dicitrate variant delivers more magnesium per gram of substance than simple magnesium citrate and is therefore more efficient. The combination of three magnesium ions and two citrate molecules ensures good solubility, making it gentler on sensitive stomachs.
What does pharmaceutical quality (USP) mean?
You receive telomit® magnesium citrate in pharmaceutical quality (USP). USP is one of the highest quality standards for medicines, dietary supplements, and other pharmaceutical products. Products labeled as USP quality meet the strict requirements and testing methods of the United States Pharmacopeia (USP), an independent, non-governmental organization that sets quality standards for medicines and substances worldwide. USP-quality products offer high safety, purity, and reliability.
Magnesium not only plays a role in cell division. It also contributes to*
- electrolyte balance
- reducing fatigue
- normal energy metabolism
- normal functioning of the nervous system
- normal psychological function
- maintenance of normal bones
- maintenance of normal teeth
- normal muscle function
- normal protein synthesis
What does magnesium citrate taste like?
In powder form and dissolved in water, magnesium is absorbed by the body most quickly. However, different magnesium citrate products can vary significantly in taste. The less magnesium content—many products contain only about 8%—the more sour (lemony) the magnesium citrate tastes. Sometimes flavor enhancers are added, but this is not necessary. The more magnesium and the purer (contaminant-free) the product is, the more "neutral, powdery" it tastes. A higher magnesium content also means better efficiency.
What is the best way to take magnesium powder?
The simplest way is to dissolve the magnesium citrate in water, stir well, and drink it immediately. It also mixes well into freshly squeezed orange juice or smoothies. Vitamin C in orange juice can even enhance magnesium absorption in the body, as it plays a role in improving mineral uptake. It is also advisable to divide the daily intake into two or three portions (see our recommended intake), as the body can better utilize and optimize the available magnesium this way, since the intestines can only absorb a limited amount at a time.
How important is a good magnesium supply?
Magnesium is especially important for athletic or physically active individuals, as well as for pregnant and breastfeeding women, who have increased needs. Older individuals also require more, as magnesium absorption becomes less efficient with age. However, dietary supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.
Can you overdose on magnesium citrate?
Just as one can suffer from a magnesium deficiency, an overdose is also possible. Excessive intake may lead to diarrhea and gastrointestinal discomfort. In cases of severe overdose, blood pressure may drop, causing related symptoms. People with kidney problems are particularly at risk from overdose, as their kidneys may not eliminate the excess quickly or sufficiently. When in doubt, please consult a physician.
There are many magnesium products on the market that are overdosed, which is why our dosage instructions always follow official recommendations. The EU-wide reference value for magnesium according to the Food Information Regulation, called NRV (Nutrient Reference Value), is 375 mg per day. This includes intake through daily food as well as supplements. Both the EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) and the DGE (German Nutrition Society) recommend 300 mg per day for women aged 25 and older and 350 mg per day for men.
