NOW Magnesium Citrate Softgels, despite its name, contains a powerful trifecta of Magnesium Malate, Magnesium Glycinate, and Magnesium Citrate. Each of these forms offers superior bioavailability compared to magnesium oxide and targets specific benefits: Malate for energy and muscle support, Glycinate for relaxation, stress relief, and gentle digestion, and Citrate for general absorption and mild laxative effects. This comprehensive blend ensures broad systemic benefits and makes it suitable for a wide range of magnesium-related goals, from muscle function to sleep support. The softgel form adds to its convenience and ease of consumption.
- Contains highly bioavailable and effective forms of magnesium: Malate (for energy), Glycinate (for relaxation and gentle digestion), and Citrate (for general absorption).
- Provides comprehensive benefits for muscle function, nerve health, stress reduction, and sleep support.
- Softgel form is easy to swallow and convenient for daily use.
- From NOW, a highly reputable and trusted brand in the supplement industry.
- Slightly higher price per serving compared to basic magnesium supplements, but justified by the quality of forms.
- While generally well-tolerated, very sensitive individuals might experience mild laxative effects from the citrate component at higher doses.
