How much magnesium is in Nutricost Magnesium Citrate?

Why choose magnesium citrate instead of magnesium oxide?
Magnesium citrate dissolves more readily and is generally absorbed better than magnesium oxide. The NIH lists citrate among the supplement forms with higher bioavailability, but that does not make it the right choice for every person.

Can Nutricost Magnesium Citrate cause loose stools?
Yes. Unabsorbed magnesium salts can draw water into the intestine, and magnesium citrate is also used as a saline laxative for occasional constipation. Stop and seek advice if you develop persistent diarrhea or dehydration. [NIH magnesium fact sheet](https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Magnesium-HealthProfessional/)
Who should check with a clinician before taking it?
People with kidney disease, people who are pregnant or nursing, and anyone taking medicines should check the label with a clinician first. Magnesium can also interfere with absorption of some antibiotics when taken too close together. [NIH magnesium fact sheet](https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Magnesium-HealthProfessional/)
