Magnesium Citrate

What is Magnesium Citrate?   

Magnesium citrate is an organic salt of magnesium, typically appearing as a white or colorless crystalline powder, and is soluble in water. This form gives magnesium good solubility and high bioavailability in the body, meaning it is easily absorbed and utilized. It is not only a common source of magnesium in dietary supplements but also plays a specific role in the pharmaceutical field.

Feature

Magnesium Supplementation

This is its most basic function. Magnesium is a cofactor for hundreds of enzymes in the body, participating in key physiological processes such as energy metabolism, nerve signal transduction, muscle contraction, and bone health. Magnesium citrate supplementation can effectively prevent and correct magnesium deficiency.

As an Osmotic Laxative

This is a significant and potent effect. After oral administration, magnesium citrate is not easily absorbed in the intestines. It draws large amounts of water into the intestines through osmosis, softening stool, increasing stool volume, and stimulating intestinal peristalsis, thus producing a laxative effect.

Sedating the Nervous System
Adequate magnesium helps regulate neurotransmitters, helping to calm the nervous system, relieve tension and anxiety, and positively impacting sleep.

Applications

Medical Uses: Bowel Cleansing and Constipation Treatment

This is its core medical use. Before colonoscopies or certain abdominal surgeries, doctors use large doses of magnesium citrate solution to thoroughly cleanse the patient's intestines. It is also used to treat acute constipation.

Dietary Supplement: Magnesium Supplementation

As a daily dietary supplement, it is used for magnesium deficiency caused by insufficient dietary intake, magnesium loss due to specific diseases, or medications. It helps maintain normal nerve and muscle function, supports heart health, and strengthens bones.

Food Industry
In food production, it is used as an acidity regulator, preservative, and flavor enhancer, with the E code E345.

For some products that require special packaging during transportation, we will carry out more delicate packaging. For example, retinal needs to be stored at -20 °C, so we choose cold chain transportation during transportation; deoxyarbutin will change color during transportation, so we will Vacuum packing of deoxyarbutin
