Magnesium is a macro-mineral, which means it is required in relatively large amounts. The human body does not have the capacity to synthesise magnesium from other precursors, making it an essential nutrient that can only be provided by the diet. Food sources of magnesium include green leafy vegetables, nuts, brown rice, wholegrain bread, fish, meat, and dairy products. Supplements can also be useful in ensuring an adequate intake of magnesium as part of a balanced diet.
As a result of its chemical instability, magnesium is rarely found in nature in its pure elemental state, and usually forms a compound known as magnesium oxide. Magnesium citrate is a salt form of magnesium that pairs the mineral with citric acid, resulting in a highly bioavailable source of this essential nutrient.

Magnesium citrate is a popular supplement, and people choose to include it as part of their overall health regimen for the following reasons:
As a result of its role in energy-yielding metabolism, magnesium citrate is commonly used by customers who have an increased demand for energy, such as athletes or those who regularly exercise at a high intensity.
Signs of a magnesium deficiency include tiredness and fatigue, and a magnesium citrate supplement can help avoid these symptoms by supporting an individual in regularly achieving an adequate intake of magnesium.
Around sixty percent of the magnesium found in the body is stored in the skeleton, where the mineral is an important component of healthy bones. Magnesium also has a role in protein metabolism and the maintenance of normal muscle function.
Magnesium contributes to normal psychological function and the normal functioning of the nervous system. A deficiency of magnesium can lead to feelings of a low mood and exhaustion, which helps to account for why magnesium citrate is a popular choice among those who live a hectic or stressful life.
